Go behind the scenes to find out how period movies turn back the clock on city streets. <br /><br />Rena DeAngelo is the Oscar-nominated set decorator behind this year's "West Side Story" and Wes Anderson's "The French Dispatch," both set in the '50s-to-'60s time period. In this episode of "Movies Insider," she breaks down how she'd transform a contemporary New York City street to look like a 1957 time capsule. <br /><br />Rena takes us through Eclectic/Encore Props in Long Island City, Queens, and shows us the period products and street dressing she would use to rewind time on a modern city. Find out how set decorators dress windows, create fake storefronts, and cover up modern signifiers to make filming locations resemble an era of the past.<br /><br />Rena has worked on a long list of period pieces, from "Mad Men" to "The Help." She is a frequent collaborator of Steven Spielberg's, having worked on three of the director's historical dramas: "West Side Story," "Bridge of Spies," and "The Post." <br /><br />For more from Eclectic/Encore Props: <br />https://www.eclecticprops.com/<br />https://www.instagram.com/eclecticprops/
