Dick and Production Design Digest host, Kelly Sinclair Smith, discuss his career, all the different aspects of production design that he’s drawn to, his favourite go-to photography books for references, his approach to designing visually pleasing spaces through the use of symmetry and incorporating the camera’s aspect ratio within his set designs to create interesting frames.
In this episode with Dick Lunn we cover:
- Dick’s journey into Production Design, and how his degree in modern history created a solid foundation for being able to reference and research different jobs
- How having parents who were both art teachers influenced his love of art, and how studying art history and renaissance artists, such as Hieronymus Bosch, taught him about composition, lighting and how creating lines within a picture can draw the viewers eye to specific focal points
- How his time spent as a runner, prop master and art director prepared him for his career as a Production Designer
- His approach to designing for the screen, and how important it is to consider the camera movement and the blocking within a scene when designing a set
- How he uses symmetry within his set designs to bring structure to the space and create visually appealing compositions
- His long-standing working relationship with his set decorator and what makes it such a successful collaboration between them
- The textures, colours and detailed props within the sets of ‘The End of the F***ing World’ (S2), and how Dick created the look of a British/Americana fusion for the series
