International Production Design Week 2023

By Events, Films & series, Interview

This year, for the first time in entertainment history, the craft of production design will be celebrated in worldwide events during International Production Design Week. Between 20th and 29th October 2023 events will take place in various countries, in person and online, and will include panels, workshops, screenings, lectures, guided tours, set visits and social gatherings.

We’d like to recommend two interesting panel talks with Mara Lepere-Schloop: an online event about the making of the Art Directors Guild Award winner Pachinko and an offline event about Production design in New Orleans – where the Art Directors Guild Award nominee Interview with the Vampire series was filmed.

We are really proud that we’ve had the chance to help Mara in the production design processes of both series.

We’re so excited to announce that we started a new project and are launching a new webshop: 
As you may know we often work on period pieces and since we have regularly encountered the problem that it is difficult to find an authentic model or a high-quality photo of an object from many different angles as a reference, we thought that we would build a library to help our job.
But what started as a helpful side project became a major one, so we came to the conclusion to share it with you /the digital artist community too.
And after months now we can proudly show what we’ve been working on: a 3d asset library which contains only historically authentic 3d scanned models!

Please welcome (y)our new best friend: 3dProp.store
