About

"The design world is vast. You never know where it will take you. If you're a fine artist, a graphic artist, an architect, an interior designer, a painter - it can all be used. There's not one way to do it." - Roy Christopher, Production Designer

"Production Designers create and develop the overall look, atmosphere and emotion that move the story. As visual artists and story tellers, the Production Designer consults primarily with the Director through the conception and creation of stage sets and the selection and alteration of practical locations and backgrounds. Production Designers also collaborate with the Visual Effects team, and provide the designs necessary to maintain a coherent blend between the look of the production, cinematography, and the post-production visual effects footage."- Art Directors Guild
