They can also be used to help the production crew make larger stylistic and fiscal decisions about a film. These drawings are intended to show the overall visual concept for a movie set. The first one being conceptual or schematic designs for various sets. In my experience as a set designer, I have worked in two different capacities. The primary function of a professional set designer is generating various types of drawings in support of a larger film production.
I feel like my story is a very typical film story: tough to break into, but when it happens, it's an awesome industry to work in.įor those not involved in the film industry, what does a set designer do? Finally, after a few years of working on various film and television shows, I was able to formally qualify to join the US-829 or the Scenic Designers Union. During that project, I met some of the crew members and they, in turn, called me to work on other film projects. I honestly jumped at the chance and we, in fact, did design some cool monster-bed thing. The only real compensation would be a film credit as a set designer. He knew that I designed buildings and asked if I would be interested in volunteering some time to help him draft a creature-bed prop for the movie. An old friend named, Kevin Lang was working as the production designer on a low budget indie horror film. I got started in the film industry in a sort of roundabout way. I own a traditional architecture firm (Fagan Design Build Studio) and a start-up company (PowerDocks) that innovates new products for the marine tech industry.
In particular, I do a good deal of freelance film design work as a set designer, but my work and background experience actually began in architecture. So I think that the easiest way to describe my background would be as a designer that works in multiple mediums. I attended Skidmore for Art School and then the City College of New York (CCNY) for graduate school in Urban Design.
