Art Director

The art director will serve as the project manager of the largest department among art managers of all films.

The art director is usually asked by the production designer and will be in charge of assistant art director, draft man * (up to 20 drafts in a large budget movie), art department assistant and all construction workers. This is a very skilled job, as the art director also has to find a practical solution to creative problems while monitoring the budget. Many art directors are involved in TV dramas, commercials, and film production. Working hours are long and work may involve working for a long time at home. Artistic director works as a freelancer

In a big budget movie, the art director will start working four to five months before the beginning of the movie (eight weeks of low budget movie may be enough). When submitting the final timeline (detailing the exact sequence of the scenes in which the movie was filmed) the art director began to supervise the first set of necessary preparations. The art director analyzes the script and identifies all props or special items that may require longer lead times. At the same time, the draft man team developed several packages and places for the art director to use with the architectural manager and his team. For all members of the art department, this is a very busy and stressful time; in addition to dealing with this pressure, the art director must also strictly manage the budget (prepared by a spreadsheet To monitor)

In large-scale production, meeting the accountant every week is the key to this process. The main part of the work of the art director is troubleshooting - they also have to find a cost-effective solution that provides practical answers to architectural and decorative problems. During pre-production, they are also responsible for all special effects (such as explosion and car accident sequence), recruitment of all vehicles (from car to vehicle), arrangement of all animal castings (selection by director) . As the shooting date approaches, the art director closely contacts the location manager and talks about when to prepare and change.

During the shooting period, the art director continued to supervise the production, trimming and blow (demolition) of the remaining combinations. After the film is packaged (shooting is complete), the art director needs to confirm that all the photos are taken, the place is cleared and all unprocessed art department invoices have been paid.

In addition to the smallest organization, the art director / contributor team is overseen by creative director, senior media creator, or chief creative director. In large organizations, art directors can oversee other art directors, junior designers, image developers, and / or production artist teams and coordinate with different production departments. In small organizations, the art director can play all of these roles, including supervising printing and other productions. The art director has a hierarchical structure of the film art department and cooperates with the design decorator to set up the designer to work directly under the production designer.
