GAME CHANGER The impressive set for Tian Ching’s mansion built for The Ghost Bride TM | JULY/AUGUST 2020 94
“The art department create and make ideas turn into life.” A set for Westworld Season 3, set in Singapore. A model scale for The Ghost Bride All In A Day’s Work Leslie has always been lucky in the sense that he managed to build a good reputation for himself, and thus was always a top pick for upcoming projects. “As you build a reputation for yourself, you then tend to be recommended to work on certain projects,” he explains, referring to the ins and outs of the production industry. With the experience and body of work that he had amassed over the years, Leslie soon found himself presented with the opportunity to collaborate with some of the greatest minds in Hollywood. One of these opportunities was as one of the art directors for several episodes of the third season of television series Westworld, the ferociously aestheticised dystopian fiction co-created by screenwriter, director and producer Jonathan Nolan. Leslie spearheaded the production’s art department in Singapore, which consisted of creative teams from around the region. “We were up against time and location restrictions. We had four directors with multiple units shooting a few locations at the same time in a day. So planning to split yourself between setups, locations and shooting call time was quite a job, but with a great team and hard work, we made it happen,” he shared. For him, working with Jonathan Nolan was a great experience as the series’s co-showrunner had strong visions and he knew exactly how he wanted the Leslie overseeing the art direction for his projects show to be shot. Closer to home, Leslie was also involved in Netflix’s supernatural period series, The Ghost Bride, which is set in Malacca, but shot in Penang, Perak and Johor, at the Iskandar Malaysia Studios. Building a fictional fantasy world that orbits around the local Malaysian cultural elements with a heavy dose of Peranakan heritage was, simply put, a joy for him. “It was a local production with local crew but with an international system in place to cater to an international standard for the OTT (over-the-top) platform giant that is Netflix.” Yet Leslie’s visionary visual storytelling talent is perhaps principally defined by his works in the film Crazy Rich Asian, for which his team clinched the Art Directors’ Guild award for Excellence in Design for a Contemporary Film in 2019. “I was responsible for the art direction of Tyersall Park, the Young family’s mansion,” he says, referring to the ancestral home of the main characters in the movie, which starred Malaysian actors Datuk Michelle Yeoh and Henry Golding. “The interior and exterior of the mansion included the conservatory, while I was also responsible for other sets like the A380 First Class airline section, which was a set build; the Calthrope Hotel London scene, Astrid’s apartment, the jewellery store, the JFK airport set, the Goh family house, NYU auditorium, the plane hangar scene, and the mahjong scene, amongst others,” he explains. 95 JULY/AUGUST 2020 | TM
