Historic Period Verification
While producing
documentaries, feature films or novels, creators often need research in home
decoration, fashion, and daily life. Our researchers can verify time period
accuracy so your “scene” is properly set.
The history of a building
creates a “sense of place.” This sense of place is of increasing importance in
a modern age where nuclear families and our reliance on electronic and wireless
media are the norm. In an age where corporations and individuals may seem truly
rootless, the history of a location can attract and connect individuals and
companies and reinforce community.
