The second video in our Oregon Film Summer Interns’ “Oregon Vendor Spotlight” series (above) follows the local supply chain that is utilized to provide the unique greenery needed for NBC’s “Grimm.”
In order to provide the trees, bushes and plants that help create “Grimm’s” eerie atmosphere, the show’s greensman, Charlie Carlsen, looks to local nurseries such as Dennis’ 7 Dees and Cascadian. They provide greenery from their stock and, in turn, activate their supply chain of other nurseries in the area to help meet the increased demand.
This summer, our team of Oregon Film student interns (Sabrina, Justen, and Jake) embarked on a project to interview some of the local vendors that have recently experienced an increase in business due to the film and television industry. By the end of the summer, the interns had produced eight short videos for their “Oregon Vendor Spotlight” series. We will be rolling out the videos over the next four weeks. Today, we are happy to present the first video in the series (embedded above) which highlights local boutique Shop Adorn. Continue reading... “Oregon Vendor Spotlight: Shop Adorn”
