- Putting
finishing touches on the Gemini
|
In 1997, Guard~Lee
had the privilege of building replica set pieces for Tom Hanks'
From the Earth to the Moon. Full size, high fidelity
Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Capsules were designed to be taken
apart for filming while maintaining authentic detail and scale.
In addition, Guard~Lee was given the task of restoring LM-13,
one of the only remaining original Lunar Modules. The restored
LM was used in the lunar excursion sequences. Guard~Lee also
supported the production with props work, space research and
on-set technical aid. |
