Fun Design Project: Fractured Legacy

Got myself hooked in on a fun little design project recently! I'm the Art Director for a short film called, Fractured Legacy. Check out the video below of our talented writer and director, Sebastien Tobler, discussing the film's storyline.

So what exactly does an Art Director do and how's that related to design? As I'm quickly finding out...it's a lot of hunting and gathering for set locations, props, and costumes to visually set the tone of a scene and convey the attributes of the characters...their unique style and personality. Sound like interior design, eh? But in the latter case---rather than revolving around a story---we're setting tone of how the individual (client) wants to experience the space, dressing it up to convey their unique style and personality.

I've been busily creating set design concepts for our three locations and wardrobe concepts for our characters. More to come in the next few days as all this unfolds....!!! Stay tuned!
