Kim Wannop - Set Decorator
Decorating Pages is a podcast dedicated to taking you behind the scenes of the designs of your favorite TV shows and Films.
How do you bring back one of television’s most beloved environments when almost none of the original scenery or plans still exists?
Emmy-nominated Production Designer Denise Pizzini and Set Decorator Bethany Barton reveal how their team recreated the original Muppet Theatre for the Disney+ special The Muppet Show.
Using screenshots, extensive research and one surviving drawing of Kermit’s backstage office, they reconstructed the theatre’s architecture, auditorium, backstage spaces, practical lighting and decades of beautifully controlled clutter.
Denise and Bethany explain the hidden engineering required to design simultaneously for Muppets, puppeteers and human performers—from elevated stages and hollow counters to removable chair backs, adjustable furniture and performer pits.
They also take us inside Sabrina Carpenter’s glittering cowboy bar, Miss Piggy’s Bridgerton-inspired ballroom, the Bayou musical number and Gonzo’s practical stunt set with real fire and sparks.
It’s a detailed look at nostalgia, scale, fabrication and the high-stakes scavenger hunt required to make Jim Henson’s world feel as though it never stopped living.

Presented by HBO Max | For Your Consideration – HALF MAN – Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Contemporary Program (One Hour or More)
Production Designer Emer O’Sullivan joins Decorating Pages to discuss the production design of the HBO/BBC limited series Half Man, created by Emmy-winning Richard Gadd and starring Richard Gadd and Jamie Bell.
Emer breaks down the design of Half Man, including Laurie’s house, the boys’ bedroom, the kitchen, the hospital room, the prison visiting room, the wedding locations, and the Glasgow architecture that grounds the story across multiple decades.
In this conversation, Emer talks about using social realism photography, fashion photography, mood boards, hand drawings, wallpaper, pattern, color, and Scottish municipal architecture to create a world that feels emotionally truthful. She also discusses the responsibility of portraying working-class homes with warmth, pride, and specificity, rather than reducing them to gray or downtrodden spaces.
Kim and Emer also discuss the “cozy claustrophobic” design of Laurie’s house, the pistachio and pink palette, how domestic spaces change over time, building the upstairs of the house, transforming a rough location into a major set in eight days, and designing the prison visiting room with glass, brutalist influence, and controlled discomfort.
This episode is a must-listen for fans of Half Man, Richard Gadd, Jamie Bell, HBO dramas, production design, set decoration, Scottish television, character-driven interiors, and anyone interested in how sets carry emotion, memory, trauma, and story.
Half Man is now streaming on HBO Max.

With The Late Show with Stephen Colbert coming to an end, Emmy-winning Set Decorator Kim Wannop looks at the design history of late-night television through the rooms we know so well: the desk, the guest chair, the skyline, the curtains, the bandstand, and the host’s chair.
In this episode of Decorating Pages, Kim breaks down late-night TV set design from Johnny Carson to David Letterman, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers. She looks at Carson’s iconic command-center set, Letterman’s strange and brilliant NBC office energy, his move to CBS and the historic Ed Sullivan Theater, Colbert’s grand restoration of that theater, Kimmel’s Hollywood-after-dark lounge, Fallon’s warm New York variety show, and Seth Meyers’ writer’s room with a view.
This is a set decorator’s look at how late-night shows use similar design staples but create completely different identities for each host. Because in late night, the desk is not just furniture. The room tells us what kind of night we’re about to have.

I’ve got a real one for ya. On this episode of Decorating Pages, I’m talking Death by Lightning (Netflix) with Production Designer Gemma Jackson (Emmy winner, Oscar nominee) and Set Decorator Hannah Gawthorpe — and this is a masterclass in period production design and set decoration.
They built 1880s America — New York, Chicago, Washington, Ohio, and the White House — entirely in Budapest, and we get into how they differentiated every world through layout, wallpaper, practical lighting, and dressing choices. Plus: chandeliers, flags, graphics research, and the kind of logistics that only the art department could love.
If you love behind-the-scenes craft, historical details, and design choices that actually tell story, this one’s for you.

Dancing with the Stars has to deliver a brand-new world every week — live — with choreography, cameras, lighting, and set changes happening at full speed. In this episode of Decorating Pages, Emmy-winning set decorator and host Kim Wannop talks with Production Designer James Yarnell, a 20-year DWTS veteran and ADG-nominated for the show’s “Wicked” episode.
James breaks down how the DWTS ballroom is designed around the true priority: the dance floor — including how camera movement is choreographed alongside the dancers, how theme weeks are executed on a brutal weekly timeline, and how scenic builds, props, screens, and projection all have to work together without slowing down a live broadcast.
Plus: the iconic detail you didn’t know you needed — James literally designed the Mirrorball trophy, and later redesigned it into the Len Goodman Trophy.

In this episode of Decorating Pages, Emmy-winning set decorator and host Kim Wannop interviews Production Designer Denise Pizzini and Set Decorator Ashley Michelle Marsh (previously featured on the podcast for Better Call Saul) about designing and building the visual world of Pluribus.
Denise and Ashley are Art Directors Guild (ADG) nominated, and this conversation gets into the real craft: detailed prep using outlines, approvals that lock the design, and the scale of builds including a fully constructed cul-de-sac neighborhood, an ice hotel environment with sculpted elements, Air Force One build challenges, and complex location/redress work.

Hamnet is period filmmaking at its most grounded and immersive. In this episode of Decorating Pages, Emmy-winning host Kim Wannop interviews Production Designer Fiona Crombie and Set Decorator Alice Felton about the design and decoration of Hamnet — from Shakespeare’s family home and the glove workshop to the Globe Theatre and garden builds.
Topics include period-authentic materials, sightline-conscious furniture choices, hand-stitched textiles, thematic palette shifts, and the art of set storytelling.
Directed by Chloé Zhao, Hamnet is based on Maggie O’Farrell’s novel and stars Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.

Production Designer Darren Gilford joins Decorating Pages to break down the production design of TRON: Ares — from building a bold new Dillinger red world to honoring the franchise’s visual DNA.
Darren shares the real craft behind the look: materials testing (including a candy-apple red technique on stainless panels), how CNC-cut surfaces and grain direction affect highlights on camera, the engineering behind LED-lit floors, and why the Grid demands a totally different approach than “real world” sets. Plus, we talk Flynn’s world as a love letter to Sid Mead, Easter eggs pulled from the original archive, and the art department problem-solving it takes to make TRON feel iconic again.

Production Designer Alexandra Schaller joins me to talk about crafting the haunting world of TRAIN DREAMS, the Netflix adaptation of Denis Johnson’s novella.
We unpack how the cabin became a full character, why the fire tower and logging camp were such ambitious builds, and how shooting almost entirely with natural light and candles shaped every design choice. Alexandra shares how she worked with the director, DP, set decorator, props, greens, and scenic teams to make Washington’s landscape feel intimate, mythic, and deeply emotional.
Topics include:
- Turning landscape into story
- Building and rebuilding the cabin across time
- Designing the fire tower and logging environments
- Color as emotion, especially Gladys’s yellow
- Planes, trains, and giant trees on an indie budget
- The reality of remote locations, weather, and limited resources

Let's take a quick look back at the top episodes of 2025, best reads and much gratitude for making the podcast top of the charts in many counties.
A deep dive into Avatar: Fire and Ash with Production Designers Dylan Cole and Ben Procter and Set Decorator Vanessa Cole. This episode breaks down why Avatar is “live action by other means,” how practical builds and reference testing support performance capture, and how story + design influence each other throughout the process.
Topics include the Ash People (volcanic wasteland inspiration, a bold black/white/red palette, and the idea of a village inside a burnt Great Tree trunk), the intricate craftsmanship of the Wind Traders (including 3,500+ feet of braided rope), and the evolving visual culture of the RDA. If you love production design, set decoration, worldbuilding, and behind-the-scenes filmmaking — this one’s for you.

Today’s episode is a double-feature for design nerds. First, I’m sharing Production Designer Loo Sung He on Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice—in a first-ever translator format where I’m reading her responses. Then we switch to TV with my full audio interview on Overcompensating with Production Designer Shayne Fox and Set Decorator Erika Lobko. Film first, TV second—two deep dives, one episode.
First, Production Designer Ryu Seong-hie (Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice) answers Kim Wannop’s questions in a unique format: the interview was conducted through a translator, and Kim reads Ryu’s translated responses on the show. Ryu breaks down how the film’s spaces carry character and pressure—especially Man-su’s home, built around a 1970s Korean “French House” ideal (mid-century suburban planning with French Provincial influence), plus the way greenery and color shift as the story darkens.
Then the episode switches to TV with the full audio interview on Overcompensating featuring Production Designer Shayne Fox and Set Decorator Erika Lobko. They dive into building the show’s visual language—tone, texture, location choices, and the practical realities of designing and decorating a world that feels specific, modern, and lived-in.

Sinners is the kind of movie where you can pause any frame and feel the history.
Ryan Coogler’s 1932 Mississippi Delta vampire epic follows twin brothers (both played by Michael B. Jordan) who open a juke joint in an old sawmill, only to collide with vampires, the Klan, and a century of American sins. The film has become one of 2025’s most acclaimed releases, with strong box office, critics’ scores, and early awards – putting it squarely in Best Picture conversations. (Wikipedia)
In this episode of Decorating Pages, Emmy-winning set decorator Kim Wannop sits down with Oscar-winning Production Designer Hannah Beachler (Black Panther) and Set Decorator Monique Champagne (Nickel Boys, Sinners) to talk about how they built the film’s world from the ground up:
- Churches, houses, and stores placed like tiny islands on vast plantation landscapes
- Annie’s house as a warm, healing, hoodoo-and-capitalism space, one of the emotional hearts of the movie
- A downtown resurrected from empty, moldy buildings into a living 1930s Black business district
- The juke joint as a complete building you can shoot 360º – including upper levels, real water, and safely-distanced alligators
- The film’s bold red/white/blue color story and how production design, set decoration, costume, and lighting keep that palette humming across the film
If you loved Sinners or you’re tracking the craft side of awards season, this conversation is a deep dive into how design and decoration carry history, politics, and horror in one of the year’s most visually powerful films.

In this episode of Decorating Pages, Emmy-winning set decorator Kim Wannop sits down with Production Designer Cara Brower to talk about designing Hedda, Amazon MGM Studios’ new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler—now streaming on Prime Video.
Brower—whose credits include Candyman, The Marvels, Twin Peaks: The Return, Us, and Hail, Caesar!—explains how she found and transformed a single English country estate into Hedda’s entire universe: grand staircase, dark entry hall, sensual bedroom, secret telephone nook, glass conservatory with a deadly chandelier, and a lakeside bonfire that bookends the story.
The conversation digs into:
- How Ibsen’s original themes of power, boredom, control, and societal constraints on women informed the design choices
- Layering Victorian architecture with Art Deco curves, 1960s-inspired pattern, and bold modern art so Hedda’s home feels like a socialite’s act of rebellion
- Designing Hedda’s bedroom as a cold, sensual, almost Hollywood-boudoir space that belongs entirely to her
- The engineering and cross-department chaos behind the film’s glass chandelier set piece
- Why shooting mostly on location—with minimal VFX—makes the film feel more immediate and theatrical
Perfect listening if you love period drama, literary history, and extremely opinionated wallpaper.

In this episode of Decorating Pages, I’m talking with costume designer Jennifer Johnson about the wild, layered costume design of Bugonia, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Emma Stone.
We start with Michelle’s single, unforgettable look: a McQueen-inspired power suit, custom skirt and burgundy overcoat all chosen to telegraph power, control, and a character who always feels slightly out of step with the people around her.
Jennifer and I dive into:
- shaving Emma Stone’s head on camera and designing the basement sequence so Michelle stays powerful, not sexualized
- putting her into Teddy’s mother’s pink floral dress and how that small costume change completely shifts the emotional balance
- building Teddy’s world from a real beekeeper’s aged, smoke-stained suit and letting that grime drive both costume and set choices
- custom-making Teddy and Don’s suits with vintage fabrics so they feel like real, lived-in “dad suits” on VistaVision
- collaborating with production designer James Price on the film’s climactic council scene: a highly stylized, organic space built from miles of hand-knotted crinoline that feels part ritual, part biology, and totally unique
If you’re obsessed with costume design, production design, set decoration, and the craft of visual storytelling, this Bugonia episode is a deep dive into how far one team will go to make every stitch and stain matter

In this Thanksgiving edition of Decorating Pages, I’m giving thanks for the prop houses and vendors that keep film and TV sets alive.
I’m joined first by Fausto from Hollywood Studio Gallery, one of Los Angeles’ most important art rental houses. He shares the history of HSG, how he went from “shipping and receiving” to 35 years in the gallery, what changed when clearance rules tightened, and how they curate artwork for everything from kids rooms and hospitals to the White House.
Then I talk with Set Decorator Rich Murray (Only Murders in the Building, The Penguin, The Diplomat). Rich breaks down his favorite New York and East Coast prop resources – Newel, Eclectic Encore, Prop N Spoon, State Supply, Gotham Props, Fennec Props – plus the auction houses and antique warehouses in Connecticut, New Jersey, Philly, Hudson and beyond. We talk about sending trucks out for estate sales, using museum collections for cleared art, and how those “one stop” prop houses in LA compare to the patchwork system in New York.
If you love set decoration, production design, prop houses, and behind-the-scenes craft, this is a full-on love letter to the people who help us dress sets, solve clearance problems, and keep the doors open in a tough economy.
Listen in for shout-outs to Warner Bros, Universal, History for Hire, Advanced Liquidators, Nest, Newel, and many more – and for a reminder of why losing even one prop house is such a huge loss for the industry.
Topics:
- History of Hollywood Studio Gallery and art rental in LA
- How clearance really works for artwork on film and TV
- LA prop houses Kim leans on for everyday sets and period pieces
- New York prop houses and auctions Rich uses for Only Murders, The Penguin & The Diplomat
- Estate sales, antique warehouses, and museum collections as design tools
- Why decorators are genuinely thankful for prop houses

Award winning Production Designer Tamara Deverell joins me to unpack the production design of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein with Oscar Isaac as Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the creature for Netflix—from an Arctic ship frozen in ice to a vaulted tiled crypt and a towering Medusa-watched lab.
Tamara has been collaborating with Guillermo for more than two decades, starting with Mimic and continuing through The Strain, Star Trek: Discovery, Nightmare Alley, Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, and Priscilla. In 2023 she won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Production Design for Cabinet of Curiosities, and her latest work on Frankenstein pushes that world-building even further. (tamaradeverell.com)
In this episode we talk about:
- Designing 119 sets across Canada and the UK
- Building a 135-foot ship on a gimbal and surrounding it with a hand-sculpted ice field
- Creating the tower lab with its Medusa wall, circular window, and massive battery columns
- Victor’s crooked Edinburgh apartment and the influence of Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein art
- The white, vaulted, moss-covered crypt where the creature is held
- Scouting Scotland, turning Lake Nipissing into the Arctic, and balancing practical builds with VFX
If you love production design, set decoration, and deep dives into how films are built from the ground up, this episode is for you.

Production Designer Erin Magill and Set Decorator Melissa Licht unpack the look of On Swift Horses—a 1950s romance threading Vegas casinos, racetracks, track-home suburbia, and coded queer spaces. We cover the Disney Ranch farmhouse and diner, Santa Anita interiors/exteriors, and the AMC-lobby-to-casino transformation with period lighting, signage, and tables that sell the Strip. Plus: the green-and-pink model home that’s gorgeous and suffocating, a nursery wallpaper rescue, and the message-board “misconnections” that quietly map a hidden community. Perfect listen if you love mid-century palettes, wallpaper stories, and design that moves character and camera.

Production Designer Scott Chambliss and Set Decorator Andrew Baseman take me inside the design of Kiss of the Spider Woman—a film that braids a raw prison drama with a full-blown MGM-style musical. We talk about building the cell in a shuttered Uruguay prison, why wooden beads beat crystal, and how a “second-tier” poster look became the perfect tone for the movie-within-the-movie. We get into the color arc (buttercream trims, a salmon pop bathroom), Aurora’s Hollywood-Regency suite with rented vellum pieces, a matte red nightclub designed as a dangerous dream, that Ziegfeld-scale drapery staircase, smart re-dress moves between sets, and a textured South American village inspired by classic MGM backlots.

Today’s episode centers on the powerful and deeply moving design work behind the film Nickel Boys, the adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Joining me are two incredible talents: Production Designer Nora Mendis and Set Decorator Monique Champagne, who brought the harrowing yet human story of the Dozier School for Boys to life.
Led by director RaMell Ross the innovative POV shooting style takes audiences deep into the protagonist’s experience. With the camera primarily showing what the protagonist sees, the set dressing had to authentically reflect this subjective perspective. Nora and Monique meticulously chose items that would naturally populate the protagonist's world while conveying historical accuracy and thematic depth. They sourced authentic materials from places like Etsy and eBay, including 1970s subway coins, bus schedules, refrigerator magnets, fabrics, and more, ensuring each detail felt genuine. They overcame budget constraints and transformed unconventional locations, like an old convent and an Amtrak station, into emotionally charged spaces. This creative approach not only enhanced the visual storytelling but also enriched the film’s emotional and historical resonance.
This episode is a testament to the power of production design in storytelling. Whether you're a film enthusiast, history buff, or aspiring decorator, the stories shared by Nora and Monique will inspire and educate you on the profound impact of thoughtful dedication of production design and decorating.

In this episode, I’m thrilled to give you a behind-the-scenes look at one of television’s most iconic moments. In 1975, a young producer named Lorne Michaels was about to debut a show that would become a cultural phenomenon: Saturday Night Live. The new film Saturday Night takes us back to that electrifying night when the first episode aired. Production Designer Jess Gonchor masterfully recreated the vibe of 30 Rockefeller Plaza in the 1970s with impeccable attention to detail. Jess designed a fully immersive 360-degree set, replicating the original stage layout and showcasing every element of the show’s creation— from the makeup room and wardrobe to the control room and writers' offices. We dive into the challenges of building it all on one stage, the extensive research process, and how Jess brought this pivotal night to life on the big screen.

This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with the incredibly talented Production Designer, Roberto Bonelli, about his work on Zoë Kravitz's directorial debut, "Blink Twice." Join us as we dive into the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of how Roberto and his crew transformed Channing Tatum’s tech billionaire character’s private island into a captivating hacienda, packed with Victorian colors and intricate design elements. Roberto shares his journey of researching Yucatan architecture to choose the perfect location for this unique narrative. Repainting the compound in Victorian colors, adding details and expanding the pool area and using the existing jungle green to play off fits perfectly into the puzzle of the narrative.

Welcome back to Decorating Pages! Today, we're diving into the dark and intricate world of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Set in 1980 and 90’s Los Angeles, this season tells the haunting story of the Menendez family, whose polished, wealthy image masked a far more complicated and troubled reality. Joining me are Production Designer Matthew Flood Ferguson and Set Decorator Melissa Licht, whose work on this series brings the hidden turmoil of the Menendez family to life. Matthew and Melissa created spaces that tell a story within a story. From the pristine common rooms that reflect ‘new money’ luxury, to the messy, private spaces that reveal a deeper, darker psychological layer, every detail was designed to capture the paradoxes of the Menendez family. With careful recreations of period landmarks like Spago, authentic interiors like the Chateau Marmont suite, courtrooms, jails, and a subtle blend of symbolic elements, their work immerses us in a world that feels both glamorous and unsettling.

Happy Emmy voting day! Before casting your vote, treat yourself to one last listen. I'm thrilled to have spoken with Production Designers Steve Morden and James Yarnell, along with Set Decorator John Sparano, about their Emmy-nominated special, "Dick Van Dyke: 98 Years of Magic." They share their incredible experiences and stories of transforming a grand vision into reality, honoring the legendary Dick Van Dyke in this remarkable variety special.
Celebrating the life of a legend like Dick Van Dyke was no small feat, especially within the tight time frame provided. Yet, this challenge offered a unique opportunity to recreate iconic sets and decor from Dick's illustrious career. From meticulously replicating the "Dick Van Dyke Show" set—right down to one of the original lamps—to creating a stage that splits down the center to accommodate various performances celebrating his storied career, the team went above and beyond. At 98 years old, Dick Van Dyke was visibly moved by the faithful recreation of his former workplace. For designers and decorators, this heartfelt reaction is the highest compliment they could receive.

In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant production designer Deborah Riley, the creative force behind Netflix's much-anticipated series, "The 3 Body Problem." Known for her breathtaking work on "Game of Thrones," Deborah dives into a new realm where historic and scientific realities collide with fantastical elements. From vividly recreating 1960s Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution China to orchestrating a jaw-dropping scene in which a ship is diced up in real time, Riley's work provides a visual feast. We also discuss the sleek VR helmet she designed, a potential key to saving the universe in the plot of the story. With painstaking research and stunningly intricate designs, Deborah lays a foundation of believability amidst an epic, existential planetary threat. The series has more than 3 billion minutes watched since its March release and spent seven weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10.

On this episode I speak with Production Designer Helen Jarvis about the amazing limited series Shögun. The series is a massive undertaking with intense research, diving into historical texts, paintings, and archival material. She discusses that the goal is to not just recreate 17th-century Japan in the “Shoin-Zukuri” style but also make it visually compelling for a modern audience. Filmed on location in Vancouver, Shögun enlisted expert consultants from Japan to work with the Canadian crew in what became a seamless collaboration between Eastern and Western talents in service of telling a truly authentic Japanese story.
Committed to being authentic to the era, the sets, locations, décor, props and construction builds for Shögun were designed to make the viewer - and cast - believe they stepped into 1600 feudal Japan.
Helen describes how the sets were spread across two expansive exterior backlots, a remote mountainside location and two massive sound stages, which housed all the interiors of Osaka Castle, gardens, a Catholic mission and parts of the imposing ship the Erasmus. This series is a gorgeous design accomplishment and all episodes are now streaming on Hulu.

On this episode, I speak with Production Designer Mark Ricker and Set Decorator Cherish Hale.
FX's Feud: Capote vs. the Swans is an eight episode limited series based on the best-selling book “Capote‘s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era" by Lawrence Leamer. (A book I devoured over last summer).The sets that Mark and Cherish create are lush, glamorous and enchanting. They previously collaborated on “Escape from Dennemora” and the Netflix series “Halston” and again their latest work is simply stunning. I’m a huge fan of Mark's work. I must have watched “Julie & Julia” a million times! Cherish has been a Set Decorator for more than 25 years and has Emmy, ADG and SDSA nominations and we both went to the same college! Small world!

Welcome to Season 7 of Decorating Pages Podcast! Can't believe it's been two months since the last podcast. The episode is recaps the Design award season of the Emmys, ADG and SDSA awards. I talk about the coming season of the podcast and working since the WGA/SAG strike ended. Excited to have upcoming interviews to share and also continuing with the Design Film Study this year. This episode features Production Designer James Philpott, who is behind Hulu's newest murder mystery series, “Death And Other Details”, starring Mandy Patinkin. The show's main set is an enormous cruise ship in the Art Deco style. We talk about giving the cabins different looks with the different personalities of the characters, transforming the spaces to save stage space, shooting the actual basements of the stages as the bows of the ship, and using color as clues in the story.

In this episode I speak with Set Decorator, Larry Dias and Production Designer, Paul Austerberry. They talk about the intricate process of creating the musical film version of the beloved book “The Color Purple”. From selecting locations in Georgia and building sets in a swamp and a waterfall to antiquing and creating his own prop house of period dressing. We also discuss not just the color purple but the significance of color and palette, specifically the use of the color red as a symbol of Shug's passion and its impact on Sealy's perspective. This film dives deeper into some of the other minor characters which gives the opportunity to see one of my favorite sets of the film, Shug’s house. Loved hearing their creative process and how that brought the film to the screen.

This week I speak with one of the industries most influential Production Design teams: Production Designer Arthur Max and Set Decorator Elli Griff. I was absolutely thrilled to speak to them about their project “Napoleon” directed by Ridley Scott. To create the epic scale of the movie, Production Designer Arthur Max, a three-time Oscar® nominee (“Gladiator”, “American Gangster” and “The Martian”) who has collaborated with Scott on 15 films since 1997’s “G. I. Jane”, has seen the business of production design change immensely over the decades. “We have always built giant sets, but now, we use the spaces in different ways,” he explains. “When we made “Gladiator”, CGI was in its nascence. We were limited as to what we could achieve. Now, the scope of our ambitions has grown with it. But we're still in the school of thought that it's best to have a physical set to build off of, not just a complete CGI universe.” Set Decorator Elli Griff joined Max on “Gladiator” in Morocco, followed by “Black Hawk Down” and then “Man on Fire” for the late Tony Scott. More recently, Griff has worked on “Glass Onion”, which brought her an ADG Award, and they are both currently finishing up “Gladiator 2”. On the podcast we explore the intricate process of “Napoleon” design from color pallet to the Set Decor of elaborate tents and beds!

In this episode I chat with Production Designer Brandon Tonner-Connolly about two of his recent projects. The critically acclaimed series “Reservation Dogs" and the very long awaited sequel of one of the scariest movies ever made “The Exorcist: Believer”. Working for the past three seasons on” Reservation Dogs”, Brandons’ sets captured the realism of Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma. We talk about location work, the respect of designing for the culture and saying goodbye to a series that has been a part of your life. He gives us a couple hints about the design of “The Exorcist: Believer” which was released this past weekend, and taking on the design of a legendary film.

On this episode I speak with Vice President of Front Row Media, Mimi Clarke. Product placement seamlessly integrates a product, brand or service into a realistic context in a TV show, film, video game or webisode. Front Row actively promotes and secures opportunities for their client’s various products, brands and services. Mimi and I talk about the process of using product placement in a show. Product placement has benefits for both the client and for Set Decorators to have an opportunity to make the living spaces more real. Mimi's biggest product placement totally shocked me and how the WGA/SAG strike has affected the supportive business of Hollywood.

On this episode I speak with the director of Warner Brothers Prop house Robert Greenfield. Robert started out as a Leadman with Set Decorator Nancy Haigh, on films like “Mars Attacks”, “Waterworld”, “Forrest Gump”, “The Hudsucker Proxy”, “Bugsy”, “The Grifters” and more. He then transitioned into Set Decorating on some of my favorite films like “Slums of Beverly Hills”, “Almost Famous”, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind”, “Introducing Dorthy Dandridge”, “Bad Santa”, “Rocky Balboa”, “The Road” and more. Robert took over running the Warner Brothers Prop house over a decade ago and has transitioned it’s inventory not just into a trove of delightful set dressing but a place for Set Decorator and Buyers to shop for dressing with ease. Running three locations in Burbank with over 200,000 square feet at the main lot, his job of curating the set dressing pieces is massive. He has been an inspiration to me as a Set Decorator, and as the Director of the WB prop house he has made my job easier on many occasions with his calm and pragmatic demeanor.

In this episode I speak with The Frank Rich. Rich, a renowned American writer who has made an indelible mark in both the theatrical and political spheres. He has been a celebrated theater critic for The New York Times, where he covered Broadway productions with witty reviews that lended to his nickname of the “Butcher of Broadway”.

His projects include “Becoming Mike Nichols” and “Six by Sondheim” which are great documentaries about broadway and filmmaking.

In this episode I speak with Production Designer Kathrin Eder. Originally from Austria, Kathrin started out as an artist assistant and stumbled into working on a commercial and fell in love with the art department. Hustling her way up in positions in the art department and the set dec department she is now Production Designing film and tv series. Kathrin's work on the reboot of Clive Barker's 1987 horror classic "Hellraiser" in 2022 helped to create a world that was both terrifying and captivating. Her designs for the film's iconic puzzle box, the Lament Configuration, helped to establish a visual language that has become synonymous with the "Hellraiser" franchise. Her use of lighting and texture helped to create a sense of unease throughout the film, and her attention to detail helped to bring the story to life in a visually stunning way.

In this episode I talk about how to wrap up a show when you are finished shooting. From holding items to the next season, making inventory of your assets, to making it all disappear. The process differs from show to show, if the show is coming back or being wrapped out because it is ending, like a film. Tedious and time consuming for the Set Dec department on every show its a huge part of the job. I also break down the Oscars, and discuss the Oscar for Best Production Design “Dune”.

It is hands down the most asked question I get over the years. I’ve spent hours emailing people back the same story and the same tips. So this is my holiday gift to anyone looking to get into his crazy business. Happy Holidays!
In this episode I describe the structure of the Art, Set Decoration and Prop department. I’ve been in this business since 1999, and I know in describing all this to you I’m still not right. Every show it seems some positions do more or less then what you thought they did. Some people bring out the union handbook to prove they do or do not have to do something or that it is or isn’t coming out of their departments budget. Some people like the control of doing more then their position. I am going to be reading from the the local 44 union book and the Art Directors Guild of what their definitions of positions are and then trying to explain it in everyday use. My hope is to be as instructive as I can in helping you understand all the different positions it takes to make these amazing cinematic worlds come to life.

I’ve worked with Jeff for a couple of years on different shows as our first AD and second AD and he’s great in both positions. In this past year Jeff finished the film “We Broke Up” which he wrote, produced and directed. I wanted to have him on the podcast because it’s so interesting to me to hear how someone can wear all the hats and have the passion to get a project completed. It took him years to get this together and while working long hours on productions like “The League” “VEEP”, “The Good Place” and films like “Wine Country”. He has an ADG award for “VEEP”, and wins and nominations for writing, production and directing his film Orenthal:The Musical which is now showing on Amazon Prime.

I definitely learned from this interview about specifics of the position and the imagination and talent it takes to be a storyboard artist.
