About the role
In this contract role, you will review set and production design work against briefs, scripts, and budgets to assess what works, what doesn't, and why. You will evaluate layout, sightlines, materials, and camera viability while documenting your reasoning clearly in writing.
What you'll do
- Look at set designs, room setups, or production concepts and judge which one is stronger for a given script, brief, or budget.
- Check scale, layout, sightlines, color, materials, and how the space would work for actors and camera.
- Flag problems that would show up on production days, such as poor shot fits or period-inaccurate items.
- Ensure designs align with story context, physical settings, and budget constraints.
- Write clear, short explanations detailing the reasoning behind each evaluation decision.
What you bring
- Professional experience as a production designer, set designer, art director, set decorator, or theatre designer.
- Hands-on experience with real productions, including budgets, builds, scripts, and shoot or install days.
- Familiarity with design tools like SketchUp, AutoCAD, Vectorworks, Rhino, or Photoshop, or strong hand-drafting skills.
- Ability to articulate and explain why specific spatial designs succeed or fail.
- Clear written English communication skills.
