Sculpter Jim Van Houten talks about some of the work he does creating props and set elements for Lost. Runtime: 5:07.

Overview

• Jim tells us that he makes scale models, working together with the art and construction people
• Says he makes "alot of the organic things, the stuff that's woven with vines, or roots, or trees, or just stuff that you can't quite put your finget on"
• Makes fake rocks, and weapons (which are made out of some type of urethane so that actors don't get hurt)
• Shows how they made the DHARMA logos on the VW busses
• Regarding the giant four toed foot, we learn that "Originaly this was a six toed foot, but it just looked like a foot with a bunch of toes, you couldn't tell that it had too many, so then we pulled it down to a four toed foot."

• Also Jim says he actualy only made the foot about six feet tall, but through the magic of computers it was made to look twenty five to thirty feet tall

• He makes a cryptic remark regarding the Temple:

"Hopefuly at the temple we'll find some more four toed feet people... or- or not."
