"But I know if we could get the distance between the forest and the end of our five-acre quarry, and let it go into the shadow, then it was just a matter of altering the shots that you need to alter."

"We created this giant dust bowl that gently rose to obscure the trees in the background, which were then lowered in post with visual effects," Crowley says.
But for Crowley, there was one hurdle that plagued him most: How do you fake the moon?
For Chazelle to bring that vision to life, the director enlisted an all-star team that included production designer Nathan Crowley and costume designer Mary Zophres, who spent months diving into NASA's archives, visiting the base, and meeting with Armstrong's family, among other laborious preparations. The film begins in 1961 when Neil can barely break into orbit, and follows him through to the Apollo 11 lunar landing in 1969, capturing the development of NASA's space program and the emotional toll Armstrong's unrelenting quest took on his family. Sure to be among the films recognized for stellar-or maybe interstellar-production design is Damian Chazelle's First Man, a biopic that chronicles Neil Armstrong's obsessive quest to walk on the moon. With the Golden Globes firmly behind us, all of Hollywood has eyes on the forthcoming Academy Awards, the nominations for which are to be announced on January 22.
