	How to be a Production Designer - Interview with Erin Muldoon Stetson, 1/03
		A production designer (PD) is the head of a film’s art department, which usually consists of an art director, costume designer, prop master, and a set decorator.
		A great production designer must be able to balance their own creative vision with the film’s need for authenticity of time and place, so much of pre-production involves not only coming up with "grandiose ideas" but also research and lots of it.
		Ultimately, the production designer is the head of the art department and the art director is like a second in command.

		Production Designers work closely with the director bringing to life his vision of the script.

	Interview with Production Designer Wynn Thomas
		The history sort of would have been that the club peaked in the sort of `30s and `40s and was still being taken care of even today and that the original owners had given control of the club over to their sons.
		And as a result of that I was able to design a club that had lots of Art Deco shapes, and to have more, again, we were trying to work away from the idea of doing a traditional jazz club.
		When you go on locations and you're dressing locations what really happens is that again you're dealing with the art director, the production designer's dealing with the sort of broad strokes and bringing in the set decorator to deal with the character or to give the rooms their personality.
