Movie Production Designers, VFX Teams Work Together for Cohesive Look
Variety: Many of today’s movies are shaped as much by visual effects as by physical design. It’s a development that has driven some production designers to stay involved in a production well beyond the shooting stage — even without pay — so that they can provide input on the effects that form a film’s final look.

The design aspect of film has been a world unfamiliar to me because the roles differ so much from theatre. Recently, however, I have been involved with a wonderful group of students who have written and created films. I assisted with the management portion, but the experience was mostly to introduce me to film and what it entails. Directors in film and theatre also differ, especially with the collaboration aspect. Directors ultimately make the final call in a film, whereas in theatre I have noticed more conversation and compromise over issues or disputed aspects of a production. In design specifically, collaboration is just as essential in film as stage. The costume designers must discuss color palettes with the scenic designers and it must correlate well with lighting. Communication remains essential in creating a cohesive work. The same principles provide the foundation for both forms of art, but the process most definitely differs.
