Being a set designer means you are in charge of creating and designing the set that is seen on TV, films and also in the theatre. The job hold as lot of responsibilities, which includes reading the script, drawing and making models of the set, which should then give them an estimate of how much it will cost and then managing the budget given to them. They have to attend just as many rehearsals as the actors to review and look at the space being used and meeting with set construction companies, communicating with directors, producers, costume designers and different members of staff.
They may also manage a team that includes art directors, assistant art directors, storyboard artists and model makers.
To become a set designer you need to have the energy and creativity to produce and come up with original ideas. This job requires determination and enthusiasm because the set design builds the show gives the film/TV programme etc excitement, especially when shooting in LA but making it look like a different country or city, so this involves getting involved and studying the city/country your setting.
Set designers also get last minute changes from the producers or directors so they have to work with adaptation and working well under pressure, which may take patience.
A lot of
experienced set designers especially film set designers are
commonly work self-employed.
