Of course, now that I’m working on Fractured Legacy, I’m enamored by all things related to set design. Found some fave set designs for home inspirations to share, one in particular has already served as an inspiration for Our Peach. Can you guess which movies these are from?

Great color palette. Love the pureness of the cerulean blue against porcelain white.

The tufted accent wall behind the bed and the handpainted wallpaper in the far right wall gives the space a delicate, yet opulent look!

The trailer below is one of the most vibrantly rich and colorful movies I’ve seen. If you haven’t yet seen the film, I highly recommend you do so!

Got myself hooked in on a fun little design project recently! I’m the Art Director for a short film called, Fractured Legacy. Check out the video below of our talented writer and director, Sebastien Tobler, discussing the film’s storyline.

So what exactly does an Art Director do and how’s that related to design? As I’m quickly finding out…it’s a lot of hunting and gathering for set locations, props, and costumes to visually set the tone of a scene and convey the attributes of the characters…their unique style and personality. Sound like interior design, eh? But in the latter case—rather than revolving around a story—we’re setting tone of how the individual (client) wants to experience the space, dressing it up to convey their unique style and personality.

I’ve been busily creating set design concepts for our three locations and wardrobe concepts for our characters. More to come in the next few days as all this unfolds….!!! Stay tuned!
