Art Director to Location Scouts and Location Managers
March 19th 2008 07:47
Art directors design the physical environment of the film set in order to create the mood the script calls for. They supervise many different people, such as illustrators, scenic designers, model makers, carpenters, painters, and electricians, laborers, set decorators, costume designers, animal makers, and makeup and hairstyling artists.
These positions can provide an entry to the motion picture industry in major cities or at a film location shooting. Many start in these jobs in live theater productions and then move back and forth between the stage, film, and television. For these people, happiness is working in the entertainment field and making a living at what they like to do best.
Location scouts or location managers work with the art director and director to find the ideal location for a particular shot in a scene. Location scouts are hired early in the preproduction phase of the movie. Nathan, who is a location scout in the Eldorado Hills of northern California, feels location scouting is a true art form. "You are trying to interpret the script while finding the right location that can make all the difference in the movie."
