I can’t tell you how often I’m impressed with the production design of Stranger Things. Someone has been doing their homework.

I think they are just 40+ ... And remember the good old days. 8 Bit Christmas is a great one too.

[@channelk1331]

Thank you StudioBinder for opening my eyes to the true art of film. I like movies, but your videos are changing my complete perception of the deep art, thought and work that goes into a production. I have been doing live filming of events for numerous years and always wondered what was wrong with my edits. They were Ok, but I knew something was wrong....I now have a tiny inclinking of what. All I can say is wow, and thanks.

Production design is extremely important! Don't forget that, filmmakers :) Raindance Team

Hi I am planning to study film next year in dubai. I was hoping to chat

[@penjamfilms]

My goal as a filmmaker is to have some of my scenes featured in a cool youtube channel like this. :D

[@Young-dy2zc]

This is so amazing. Whoever created this - thank you so much.

[@MOLLYculesLife]

really helpful!! I'm assigned to prod design for our school film project and good thing I was able to watch this video and had a glimpse on what its like to be a prod. designer, thank you!

[@StudioBinder]

glad this gave you some insight! best of luck to you!

[@Universalwindowsdirect]

Lots of good tips here, we'll keep this in mind when we're shooting our next round of commercials spots!

[@SecretFoliage]

I remember watching that Wes Anderson scene and I literally had to pause it because my hands were shaking; I did empathize too much with the character that I still think about it.

[@Kamikaze3557]

Ok , been watching S Binder for some time and now a whole new narrator , hard to get use to.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Thank you, again. This is the best film making channel anywhere.

[@MarhainEntertainment]

Great video. We learned a lot from this video and it helped a lot in production designing for our films. Thanks !

[@StudioBinder]

That really means a lot! I'm glad we were able to help you out!

[@SkippyGustilo]

I'm writing down notes. Stuff I didn't know.. now I know 🤣😅 THANK YOU! Episode 1-2 done... next episode!!!

[@StudioBinder]

Nice! I would also suggest grabbing the worksheets. What did you think of the series?

[@SkippyGustilo]

StudioBinder i think the series is actually really helpful. Like its stuff you already know, but it gives such a brief yet concise context on the important Details. Plus to add other information that I didn’t know as well. Which really helps spark the creativity! Thanks for this series. On episode 5 now while reading and writing down notes. Its just so good to learn all this online. 🙏

[@binuserkaf]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@piticfilms]

I loved your video, but I really felt it needed more depth, more examples; a longer version. I know it is super hard, but do do mind producing another episode? Congratuations, man. Keep up the great effort, we appreciate it.

We're glad you found it useful! Which part of this video would be of most use to you?

[@chrissystewart6268]

I need to learn this because my long term goal having my own film company & I want to do something for my community. Tyler Perry have his own studio, I have an mine of my own so Film Production is interesting

[@dineshshinde24]

Great job 👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍

[@imanilabonte-adams4675]

This is the career I aspire to be in after I graduate, but I have yet to decided on a school program. I was considering interior design but wasnt too sure how useful it is for production design, any advice, or other program suggestions will be much appreciated!

[@EpicOgster]

anything design and art related is a good start. graphic design, industrial design, art, architecture etc are all pretty good. you want to build a high skill set in presenting design and using professional software. with this you will have to start with smaller jobs and build up your portfolio to eventually work your way up 👍🏻

[@YusufRachFreeFootage]

Production design is extremely underrated, altho its so important.

[@johnathanfrakes7753]

Dude, I don't usually comment, but let's just say I had to like and comment this video!

Hi Studiobinder, thanks so much for this informative video. I wonder what tool you use to organise the notes in script- reading? I think it appears in 3'32'' in this video? Thanks a lot.

[@CharltonNguyen]

great school at my workplace. studioschool.edu/

[@themacd4268]

VFS was pretty decent, I got a good education in Production Design though I would recommend doing an AUTOCAD course 1st before enrolling or taking an Interior Design course or degree. Then I would pretty much hit up the best schools LA Film School or anything in the UK is much better. Keep in mind when you get into the business the real business you are going to have to prove yourself and work hard, typically as a set designer or drafter 1st before a major studio hires you on as the production designer because anyone can really be a production designer at the end of the day. Proven by Luc Bason's fifth element. The helpful duo were comic book creators. It is an "Above the line position". Plus you will want to ensure you can earn a living outside the industry when business is slow so an Interior Design Degree will help a ton.

[@__-iv6kc]

Where can I learn set design/production design? Anybody?

[@manjiriamale6967]

Can an engineer become a movie set designer? And the thing is not only becoming a movie set designer , money wise can an engineer earn heavily in set designing because leaving engineering field and entering into a this field is quite risky. So plz guide me , should I take this risk or not

[@blackinfinity976]

What is production design 😁

[@widyaputriseptadiani7362]

does anyone here know how to get into production designer? like where do i start? i don't have any film background but i'm currently doing architecture in college (i'm on my third year) and i've been thinking about production designer as my future career :)

[@chanvergara9169]

We're on the same boat! I just graduated with a bachelors degree in Architecture and wants to pursue production design as a career. I'm also asking the same questions. lol

[@widyaputriseptadiani7362]

@@chanvergara9169 hey! if you don't mind me asking, where do you come from? i personally struggling here because i live in a country where the film industry is not really 'huge' so it is unbelievably hard to find production design information... but i started to learn production design through online course! i recommend u to do this online course www.futurelearn.com/courses/production-design/2/todo/78016 it's free and i think it's a good start to learn the basic

Sir, in the movie "The Dictator" in a particular scene we see Sacha Baron Cohen in front of a Wall filled with photographs. So why were we feeling so empty?

[@sanjaymaurya5520]

i think its bcoz he had sex with so many people but no one is with him. he had king size bed but no one is sleeping with him. and sad music plays in background .

That's from The Royal Tenenbaums. Awesome film! Dark, dark, dark...but still funny somehow.

Thanks ;)

The precision of these videos 👍🏼 Team, I'm also looking for a Production Designer to join our short film project. Please send a message if you're interested in having a space to show your craft! Our film is a Sci Fi Romantic Drama and taking place at a unique and rustic apartment studio. Thanks!

[@joelwilcox5424]

Great video but its a tad annoying that in a video about Production Design you're not crediting any of the actual Production Designers in any of these examples. "Look at how Wes Anderson and *David Wasco* use art direction in this scene" FTFY

[@mikeasrat2063]

difference between Production design and art director

[@rayeiswriting4372]

In my understanding, production designer is the decision maker. The person who sets the tone of how things will be done. The art director makes sure those things get done.

[@shiladityachakladar154]

who have you made this this video for? if it is the cine goers, then the idea of a production design is hardly put across. I, as a common audience, am feeling confused what is production design and what is set design while I watch this video. Good luck.

[@dansprogis4521]

ya some more content would be nice, overall its a pretty basic look but good for folks who have no idea what production design is.
