    Production Designer

    The lowdown

    Creates the look of an animation project, develops the characters, environments,


    props, colour schemes and any other design elements.

    On smaller productions can undertake the role of Art Director also.

    Is this role right for me?

    To do this role, you will need to:

    have imagination, artistic flair and talent to produce the best design solutions for a
    project
    be able to understand what is going to be achievable further down the line by the
    animation and post production teams
    be able to work to a schedule and budget, and prioritise their own work and that of
    others
    have good people management and leadership skills
    have good communication and presentation skills
    be able to take direction, give direction and work as part of a team
    be able to work without supervision
    be able to receive and address constructive feedback
    be able to interview and assess work of potential art department member
    be able to work long hours and, if required, work calmly under pressure
    have knowledge of the requirements of the relevant health and safety legislation and
    procedures

    What does a Production Designer (Animation) do?

    Production Designers create the 'look' of an animation project, visually interpreting the
    script, developing characters and environments that will both illustrate the narrative and
    enable Directors to realise their vision.

    In the early stages of a project, they are likely to work in close collaboration with the Director
    and, sometimes, in conjunction with the Producer and/or client.

    They start with the script/treatment, and any other form of brief, when producing the original
    designs. For most types of animation, they develop designs in a 2D format initially and
    present then as drawings or paintings regardless of the final technique, even for projects
    that are destined for CGI. Either alone or with a team, they will establish the environments,
    characters, props, colour schemes and any other design elements required for the
    production.

    While establishing the stylistic theme, they also consider the technical resources available
    on the production and any budgetary and scheduling restrictions.

    On some smaller productions, the Production Designer's role may be combined with that of
    Art Director which means they have an on-going involvement with the project. They may
    also function as the character designer and/or background designer.
    Brainstorming Roles

    Strengths Weaknesses

    - Drawing and Conceptual Design - Clean, finalised designs


    - Idea generating (Cross pollinating) - Too many links/too complex.
    - Music / Sound Design - Task Organisation (work too hard/too long on one
    - Research (Visual library, aspect.
    photography etc.) - Translating concepts to Maya- simplifying models.

    Roles Im comfortable with:


    Concept Art/Production Designer,
    Art Director (overlooking the overarching style),
    Researcher
    Sound Designer,
    Storyboard Artist
    Cg Modeller,
    Editing
    Animating

    Roles/tasks Im not comfortable with:


    Organisation
    Screenwriting,
    Rigger,
    Texture Artist,
    Orthograph for Modelling (consistency on all 3 sides)
