Art Department
The art department is one of the most important departments of a film crew, spanning multiple disciplines and employing workers with a variety of artistic skill sets. The art department is the team responsible for creating the overall look of a television show or feature film, as determined by the director. Together, they design, build, and decorate the sets on which the actors shoot, being mindful of every little detail that can support the director’s vision, working closely with the director of photography, camera crew, lighting crew, locations crew, visual effects crew, makeup department, costume department and special effects department, to help make the sets shine.
