I am studying scenic design here at MSU. I have a deep
passion for the career I’ve chosen. I love the story the set can tell. The set
helps the actors/actresses to further develop their character, and get into the
mind of the person they’re playing. I found a video by the American Theatre Wing on
being a scenic designer in the theatre world. I learned about two designer’s,
and how their different educational backgrounds make for different design
processes. One designer has a background in architecture which makes her want
to use more real materials, rather than use a paint technique to mimic a
material. I appreciated how the video went back and forth between the two
designers and gradually built upon their processes sequentially. I would’ve had
a different experience with the video had they showed one interview at a time,
and not mixed the two together. I really enjoyed this video. I liked seeing
actual work from the two designers, and how they went about those designs. I
watch videos like these and can’t help but feel totally content being a scenic
designer.
