Good Morning America moves with the Times
CSSI isn't the only one moving. ABC's Good Morning America moved to Times Square this fall and Chicago Scenic was there to help.

CSSI built and painted scenic walls for the new two-story studio. This project gave CSSI the opportunity to try out a new 3D program with its CNC router to create 22 dimensional illuminated panels in one-third the time normally required. This program allows CSSI's CNC to cut vertically as well as horizontally.

CSSI hand-finished the molded fiberglass brick walls and details to give the first floor set a distinctive terracotta look and created ornamental iron work complete with iron riveting to complete the subway station look. The second story sets were finished in maple veneer and trim continuing the warm urban look.

CSSI Project Manager Ken Zommer and draftsman Paul Graham worked with George Allison and Roger Goodman of ABC to quickly turn Art Director Stuart Wurtzel's designs into reality. Ken Glucksberg led the job through the shop and supervised the installation.
