What you'll do
- Look at set designs, room setups or production concepts and judge which one is stronger for a given script, brief or budget.
- Check scale, layout, sightlines, color, materials and how the space would work for actors and camera.
- Flag problems that would show up on the day (a set that does not fit the shot, a material that looks fake on camera, items wrong for the period).
- Check that a design fits the story, the setting and the budget.
- Write a short explanation for each decision so a reviewer can follow your reasoning.
What we're looking for
- Professional work as a production designer, set designer, art director, set decorator, assistant art director or theatre designer.
- Experience with real productions: scripts or briefs, budgets, builds, shoot or install days and working with other departments.
- Comfort explaining why one design works and another doesn't.
- Clear written English.
Nice to have
- Comfort with design tools such as SketchUp, AutoCAD, Vectorworks, Rhino or Photoshop, or strong hand drafting. Not all are required.
