In addition to the two sets on the 007 stage, there was the interior of Croft Manor, a stimulating blend of British tradition and cutting edge technology appropriate for Lara Croft.
Production designer Kirk Petruccelli ("The Patriot," "Mystery Men") was supported by an experienced team of four art directors: Les Tomkins, John Fenner, Jim Morahan and David Lee. Michael Redding, one of the most experienced construction managers in the film industry (he ran construction at Pinewood before the studio became a freelance operation) subsequently joined the team.
Petruccelli describes the film's sets as "a combination of ancient and super-modern influences to create a sort of timeless feel.
As the sets neared completion, with no fewer than one hundred sixty men working day and night to complete them, the Tomb of the Dancing Light set was revealed to the world during a live webcast in November 2000.The filmmakers employed colorful real world locations in the film. Standing in for the exterior of Croft Manor is Hatfield House in Hertfordshire, home of the Marquis of Salisbury. The Royal Naval College at Greenwich, chosen for its magnificent Painted Hall, became the chamber of the High Council of the Illuminati. Elvedon Hall, once the home of Duleep Singh, a maharajah from the Punjab, and now home of the Guinness family, was the perfect interior townhouse for the cultured and sophisticated barrister, Manfred Powell.
As the sets were completed, special effects supervisor Chris Corbould ("The Mummy," "The World Is Not Enough") prepared his team for the film's considerable effects demands. Visual effects supervisor Steve Begg set up his state of the art machines to begin the marriage of practical and computer effects that has become a modern filmmaking technique.
Another key appointment was costume designer Lindy Hemming, an Oscar winner for "Topsy Turvy" and veteran of the three most recent James Bond films.
