GUEST SPEAKER

Megan Elizabeth Bell is a production designer in both Los Angeles and New York. She and I met on a wonderful indie feature a few years back, and always have a blast on set.

In this episode’s scene breakdown, Meg walks me through prep, location scouting and much more.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

  • how a character’s visual backstory is decided and created

  • a location versus a set built (and how to tell the difference)

  • the rule with practical lights

  • symbolism behind the blender choice

  • why Marcus’ under-stairs gun closet looks a little too perfect

  • how to style a space based on character instead of aesthetics (not everyone is a designer)
