All language subtitles for Production designer

the position of production designer is

often used interchangeably with that of art director

as a position that's often neglected on low budget

short film sets

the production designer works with the director and

the DP to create the visual look and feel of the set

if a director wanted to make a movie

set in 18th century Vienna

or in a dusty future apocalypse

the production designer would be responsible

for figuring out what that looks like

so the hair

wardrobe houses

forks cars or whatever

all belong together and help to create that world

during pre production on creating the look of the films

it's much of their work requires research and prep time

I personally haven't run into many production designers

in the independent Seattle film scene

but Heather and I love working together

on creating looks and styles for the sets in our film

so we thought we'd handle it

and later in this series

we'll look at our approach

in designing some of the sets on the assurance

now if you're looking to take your filmmaking to

the next level

especially on a visual level

you will absolutely want to find a talented

production designer or art director to work with
