Todd Howard is still impressed with the meticulousness in adapting the post-apocalyptic world to the small screen
There are many reasons why the fallout series has triumphed among fans of the post-apocalyptic saga. Leaving aside the story and the countless nods to video games, players have also applauded the producers of Prime Video forr represent the wasteland and its multiple locations with great precision; a work that required detailed decorations that facilitated the immersion of viewers. And it turns out that those responsible for the adaptation had a lot of help from Bethesda, since the developer went to the point of send 3D files so that they could be printed and used on the filming set.
This is revealed by Todd Howard, executive producer of Bethesda, in the extensive interview granted to Kinda Funny Games in which it also addresses topics such as upcoming news from starfield, Among many other things. “It was surreal. I keep saying it. I thought it would have some more ‘movie magic’ and that they would fake a lot of things, that many would be CGI,” the professional begins. “Then you enter [en el rodaje] and you see that they have built this two-story Shelter and that all the lights are not fake, the buttons work.”
“It’s incredible attention to detail.” Howard continues in the interview. “A lot of the credit goes to Howard Cummings, a production designer who was really meticulous when it came to porting every little thing, we sent the files directly from the games and they 3D printed them . And Howard would apologize when they had to change the scale of a hallway. “So there was this head-to-head correlation.”
The Fallout series has details that “no one will ever see”
In fact, the producers of the Fallout series went further by recreating very small objects and details that are barely visible on the screen: “My favorite anecdote is that they had the supervisors’ offices [de los Refugios] and I sat down like ‘Hey, I’m sitting behind the desk, we can do a little interview here,'” the professional recalls. “And you sit down and you look at all the papers, and they have this note to the supervisor that no one will ever see, they had written it and I was reading it. And then you had a stack of papers that you turned over and they had reports of the energy in the Shelter, and then the food supplies. And I was like, ‘You guys haven’t even faked the stack of papers.'” A set of set decorations that certainly add a lot to the overall experience.
