What The Set Decorator Does With Chris Coles.

Screen Shot 2015-11-27 at 3.47.29 PM

If you’re wondering just what the Set Decorator does specifically, my guest Chris Coles has the answers. The Set Decorator brings the set to life, interpreting the vision of the Production Designer, who has been in cahoots with the Director. Chris shares similar beliefs as I do about really putting in one’s 10,000 hours to master one’s craft, and we discuss about the “generation of entitlement”, and its effect on the business. We just wrapped a big Toyota job for Cramer Krasselt Phoenix, so we chat about that gig, and you’ll even learn how he met his soon-to-be wife. Their new prop shoppe, Little Bohemia, will be open by the time you click here. Chris is great at what he does and I’m lucky to have him on set.

Have you bought your new, swanky IOM iPhone case from IOM Cases? Thank you for sponsoring the show.

My next Commercial Directing Bootcamp will be in Dallas, Texas on Saturday, December 19th, 2015 – so sign up for Commercial Directing Bootcamp today! Read the reviews on this site. Pretty flattering. #blush.

thanks,

What A Production Designer Does With Evan Rohde.

The Production Designer runs the Art Department, and is responsible for fabricating the Director’s dream into a physical world to be filmed. Top Production Designer Evan Rohde does this magically, and it’s a privilege to work with him.

We chat right after wrapping a long day. He explains his dual roles as both a creative collaborator and fiscally responsible department head. I marvel at Evan’s creativity and love how he incorporates digital design plans to show me what he’s bringing to life.

Here’s his music video for Coldplay:
