How We Do It

While production designers have evolved a myriad range of approaches and techniques, here is a brief description of the process we typically use to turn written words into visual and emotional realities:

1. Research
read the script, interact with director, take her/his views. Study function or purpose of the sets according to the script.

2. Design
draw floor plans in form of quick sketches and views along with the colour palette and references (from books, movies, existing locations, paintings by well-known artists).

3. Conceptual Sketches
show sketches to the director for conceptual approval and also to the producer for basic budgeting

4. Drafting
draw the working drawings (floor plan, elevation, sections) with the help of Draftsman. then make some views with the help of illustrator. submit either hand drawings or computer generated drawings.

5. View making or study model, illustration, 3DMAX designs

6. Budgeting
a detailed budget is drawn up by our accounting staff

7. Execution of Sets
after the final approval of director and producer, start construction either at the studio or outdoors. explain the design:
- to "Mistry" - head of the carpentery department - for errection of set,
- to Moulder or sculptor for statues, stone work, any carving on sets etc.
- to painter for final finish.

8. Interior Design of Sets (or set dressing and styling.)
Set Dresser comes in for drapes, curtains, upholestry, furniture, decorative props etc.
