The World of a HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION DESIGNER

[@pv67]

Late for commenting but I found this video to be a little misleading. What she is describing is more set decorator than production designer. If she was talking only about set decorators, then I get it, but she’s not saying much about her experience as a Production Designer. On low budget films and small projects, PD are often conflated with art directors and they basically wear a lot of hats in art department and it seems that is her experience however it’s not always like that, especially on bigger budget union productions. PD collaborates with the director and cinematographer and usually work with an art director and set decorator to create the look of the film. They’ve got to do lots of research, understand the characters pov, determine emotional tone of a film, create sketches and mood boards, figure out a color story, work with location and costumes, sometimes draft plans for sets if they have to build on a sound stage, and all of this work has to serve the vision of the director. PD is a lot more than just picking cool stuff from the hand prop room and dressing a set. Tons of PDs out there have a background in architecture and art history but that’s not a requirement to start working towards a career in the art department. If you want to get into art department, find work as a production assistant on sets.

Hi, Nadia...So since i started training as a visual communication designer, i have come across a lot of cool stuff about design lately...and now here you've brought a Production designer on your channel to share with us some of what she does. This is just amazing. I enjoyed watching you two talk about it. I will definitely check out her website to more of what she does. Great video.

I loved the video. It is so cool to meet your friends and really get a behind the scenes view of the film industry

[@carola-lifeinparis]

if I can add a wish list, then please the one who had success behind the camera but stayed down to earth, then the one that gets recognized everywhere but still has a day job, the makeup artist for the stars .. and basically anything that shows the not so shiny behind the scenes like this one :)
