job description

This Oscar-worthy profession will challenge you to make a set seem like a real place instead of a shot filled with props. You’ll need an eye for detail, a degree in visual arts or design studies, and training gained from on-set experience. You’ll oversee stage construction, costuming, and the arrangement of elements in a stage, film or television scene. Research will be key, as you could have to re-create a 16th century French villa one week, and a space station the next. This job requires a collaborative spirit, a resourceful approach to budgets and a big imagination.
