Just in time for Halloween, Tom Morrow 2.0 answers the question: “How do Imagineers make things in the park so old and creepy?” According to Disney, there are lots of techniques Imagineers employ to age an environment. Set Decorators Nathaniel and Marielle explain how they use props and special tools to make something new look like it’s been around for a long time. Sometimes, Imagineers are able to use real antiques from a specific time period, while other times, they apply paint to give off a rusted or patina effect. Cobwebs are also commonly used to make a space feel older. And forget about having to dust! As it accumulates, the effect looks even better. If you want to find out how Imagineers make cobwebs and more, tune into the latest episode of Imagineer That!: Previous episodes include how Imagineers make mountains and how they think up rides.
