“Art directors creates characters and stories but instead of doing it with words like a writer or composition like a cinematographer, they use objects, settings, colors and little details.. its somewhat subconscious ”
This briefs all the job, thank you for the great video!
From Egypt.
Thank you so much for watching!
That observation you made about how art direction creates the character by using objects and details reminded me of how Alan Moore gives highly detailed instructions on what the artist should include in the scenery for the comics he writes.
Doda Garcia That’s awesome! I’m sure the production design teams on the films made from his comics are grateful for those details. The art direction in V for Vendetta is one of my faves 💯
This was really helpful. Currently we are working on a student film,and I got the role of an Art director,at least now i know what i need to do.Thanks
Writing from Tanzania,East Africa
hey, I loved this video !!! I'm an art major trying to learn more about the film industry and have been super interested in Art direction/ Product designer and your video gave me a clearer idea of what the art directors do!! thanks for the awesome vid :)
That is so awesome to hear!! Thanks so much for your comment and good luck 😊
i just cant get the differences between
art director
production designer
and set designer
and what knoweledge/ or degree i should have studied ( which university)
or can i do master on it, for example if i studied architecture university...
whose working on giving the main idea and designing set and scene for the theatres, music videos and concerts?
3:00-4:00 caught me off guard because about a about yr ago I would notice little things like lightning and angles in films so my mom picked up on that later recommending i should work with photography...on the other hand I appreciate so many other things creatively so IDK if I wanna be a photographer, creative director, artistic director, designer or what! But this video did help me understand this niche a bit more so thank you for that
thanks for the video! i've always appreciated these small details in certain movie scenes and how they add to the meaning of that particular scene. i had no idea that art directors were a thing and its now something that i can appreciate even more and perhaps even aspire to become in the future :)))
One Of The Finest Video On Filmmaking and Art Direction.
Thank You 🙇♂️
I loved the video, everything is perfect. The way that you explain how important art direction is, the films and scenes that you choose were great, the music is so good, and I really appreciate what Garrett said cause it's not the same to read something that some buzzfeed post says about the job than an actual person who work at it. I would like to know more about how got into cinematography, what he studied, his personal experience basically.
Thank you for making such a good video, I'm going to suscribe and watch more of your videos and if they are the same quality as this, you deserve better.
Thank you so much Alondra!! Really appreciate your kind words. Feel free to reach out to Garrett, I'm sure he'd be happy to give you some more of his backstory. You can find his contact info on his site: www.garrettscottball.com
This is amazing... I am getting my BFA and hope to be an art director/work in the art department of films, so it was great to hear from you and someone who works closely to art directors!

What course should you take in college if you want to become an art director?
These days it's called a Production Designer in film. Fine Arts or Architecture.
Thank you for answering.. also this video helps me a lot
QUESTION!
What does Art Director do during post production in films?
Art Directors really have no role in post, their job is done after wrap and sometimes even done after pre production.
@@AlexKillian “sometimes even done after pre-production” ? so art directors sometimes doesn’t really work during production? sorry if I have too many questions! haha I have a film subject every Saturday and my professor just asked us to research about the crews of film and tv prod and their job descriptions!
Yes, the majority of production design is done in pre production. Various art department crew will be on set for set decoration, adjustments, etc. but the production designer and art director do most of their work in pre.
@@AlexKillian ohh, noted! Thanks a lot, have a nice day! 😄
How do you collaborate with the director of photography? You said that the cinematographer is responsible for the composition which is true but not complete. Cinematographer is responsible creating the visual language of the film and the color can be a big part of that. You said that the art directors decide what colors the wall papers going to be. I cannot imagine a good director of photography who doesn’t care about the color of the wallpaper that will be used in the scene. So I wonder if the art directors can do whatever they want or they are responsible to design the set while considering the needs and the choices of the director of photography. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Correct you are! There should absolutely be collaboration between the Art Director and the DP. I’d say it depends on the type of project and the creative team in particular, which of them has more of a say in the overall visual language of the film. But in most larger scale productions, the DP’s preference is more important. Thanks for watching!!
Great video!
The professions listed below the art director are completely wrong though. The Property master and the set decorator are working directly for the production designer, they have their own art directors. (So they are way above the art directors)
A storyboard artist almost never works for an art director. A storyboard artist is usually being hired by the director or in a small percentage of the cases by the prod designer.
The set dresser works for the set decorator, the concept artist is kindof on the same level as the art director - hired by the prod designer, or the set decorator or the prop master. (sometimes by the director). The makeup artist has nothing to do with the art department. (but of course it is a team work so everything is connected in a way)
In Fact the only 2 professions that are directly linked to the art director within the art department are the assistant art directors and the Draftsperson.
can you suggest some good colleges for art direction?
Sai Dixit A couple great colleges for art direction/production design in the US are AFI Conservatory and Chapman University. But I’d say the best way to start learning is to get on film sets in whatever capacity possible, hands on is the best teacher!
@@AlexKillian im pursuing architecture , but will I be able to get chance to work on sets?
what course do I take to become an art director? science or arts?
zoe I would say arts for sure! Film school with a production design concentration is your best bet.
@@AlexKillian thank youu
What’s the movie at 1:42? I can’t seem to find it
Harold & Maude (an incredible film)
@@AlexKillian thank you, I was blown away by that shot
Love it
what's the name of the movie at 2:19 min
“Wristcutters: A Love Story” an amazing film
He did game of thrones he did.
Such a good video but I have to tell you I’m listening on headphones while driving and all of your music bumps are *so* much louder than your speaking volume. I’m really having to adjust a lot
actually its the set decorators that do that, the art directors do the sets. not the dressing.
Yes, you're correct! I say early in the video that in larger scale productions, the art director has several people working under them (set dec included), but small indie films usually don't have the budget to hire individuals for all those jobs. ruclips.net/video/xw6MaR73mHI/видео.html
@@AlexKillian im an art director in film tv hit me up if you need info
You can tell a lot about a creator by their intro music.............................................
Or should you rather say “subconscious hues”😁
😂 truuuue
your eyebrows are more emotive than your voice.
why all art directors look like serial killer?
