When we decided it was time for Tiki Bar TV to hit the high seas for hi jinx we needed a new set to get us there. We called upon our good friend and talented production designer Mister Kim Bailey. Using ingenuity and a shoe string budget, Kim designed the new Tiki Bar set, rendered a complete 3D CG model for pre-visualization then set about building it.

It was all hands on deck and months of work by dedicated friends and volunteers that led to this ship’s christening. Now the noble set has been honored with a Streamy nomination for Best Art Direction in a Web Series. Documented here are the stages of it’s creation.

Bravo SS Tiki Bar! Bravo Kim Bailey!
