Variety: Horse-drawn carriages were back on the streets of Troy, N.Y., in August, alongside equipment trucks, honey wagons and camera cranes. HBO’s “The Gilded Age” had returned to shoot scenes for the second season of the series, which explores the lives of monied families and the people who serve them in 1880s New York.

I am always fascinated by how they can turn a place into something completely different on film sets. It has been exciting to see a lot of film action in Pittsburgh, which is something I hadn’t really seen before coming to CMU. I love how they use props and signage to recreate the area into something that they’re looking for for the film, while being able to use the basic structure of everything that is already there. I remember seeing 50s style cars and costumes in an area of Pittsburgh that completely transformed that back in time. I was in Providence visiting a friend, and in her neighborhood they were filming for Hocus Pocus 2. They used fake street signs and Halloween decorations in the neighborhood to transform it into Salem, MA. It is amazing to see how when the budget is maybe prohibiting filming in the ideal location, how they get around making it look spot on.
