But it’s not a job he would likely be interested in doing again. Lest anyone imagine that the chosen artists cashed in at Hollywood’s expense, it must be pointed out that every artist was paid $1 for the right to use their image(s). The dollar released the filmmakers from any liability that might be incu rred .a s a resu lt of acc iden ta l damage. Even with this tiny expense, the art department went over budget. The only artist paid for her actual artwork was Heather Ramsay. Contacted on the advice of professional scene painters, she was commissioned to build six scale models of Rain City. Two paid assistants helped her cut out thousands of tiny bricks and windows to paste on the buildings and put up the three-inch tall street lamps. Ramsay specializes in building wonderfully detailed imaginary cities. She was given free reign to build whatever she wanted. Her models, an aesthetic highlight of the film, were later purchased outright from her as a surprise gift for Alan Rudolph. The Art Museum staff were very cooperative accord ing to Smool. John Pierce, the Assistant to the Museum Director, said that he felt Rudolph’s transformation was “ very clever," including the way the grounds had been altered and vintage cars brought in to set the scene. On their end things went very smoothly, and under similar circumstances Pierce feels they would consider doing it again. Did the movie enhance the museum’s prestige? He said that he didn’t think anyone outside Seattle even knew the film had been shot in the city. Your distributor of high quality organically grown and natural foods. 885 McKinley • Eugene.
