The only problem with this video is that it ends.
FACT
YES!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MANY GEMS!!!! LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WAS THINKING THIS! Was praying for a part 2 or something I just want to hear these stories all day
Yup
Insane. Production Design is really the field where I feel that even the most experienced professionals are challenged with unprecedented requirements and have to try things no one ever tried before. Deepest Respect!
And Guy's passion is amazing. Makes me want to shoot again with people who share that passion and excitement
true..these guys are insane !
Wow. I could listen to production designers talk about their work for hours on end. It's such a fascinating side of film making.
I do love these interviews with "Hollywood" folks talking about their big budget projects. Keep doing them, but what about also doing similar interviews with their counterparts who are doing small budget projects? Production design is a great example where "indie" folks are creating amazing results on a much smaller scale and with smaller budgets. There's lots to learn from both these big show folks and from the indie folks.
Agreed. Personally, I'd love to see Ted sit down with Ash Thorp or Ryan Booth. That would be some excellent conversation right there.
The boat story is mindblowing It's so simple yet genius
One of the more fascinating episodes in my opinion. I love hearing from departments like this that don't normally get interviewed.
+1
yessss, its so nice to know from them how was the movie
can we take a moment to appreciate the level of detail regarding the whole lantern part... "the lanterns were representing the lost souls of monks who had died in this temple" as a metaphor for how one gets lost in limbo after having spent too much time there... I mean.. come the f*** on!!!! It's 2020 and this movie still blows my mind.
Finally not a DP interview! We need more of that. Production design is what makes cinema. Thank you for this video!
This is priceless. I wish this was an in-depth 1-hour thing but this format is still incredible. Getting this kind of access and hanging out with veterans might actually be the spark for the next generation.
Isn't there a longer podcast for this?
this is the free masterclass on art of set design in film.
Yay!! I am a Production Designer and I was wondering when you guys were going to do a video about it! I'm so happy! Thank you!! PD doesn't get enough respect or credit!!!
You guys should! I tell all of my filmmaking students if I don't have anything to light it's a white boring box! I love seeing what the PD department creates!
Hi there! I'm an aspirational production designer and architect by profession, if you won't mind can you please help me where to start , what to learn, what books to read, KZhead videos recommendations..
@kannd546 absolutely! Let me compile some resources.
@@glittermonster317 sure , thank you!
@glittermonster317 I would also be really interested in your recommendations 😊
Wow, fascinating info from Guy!
5:10 set dressing = immersive yourself in ref/material of that time period for ideas Not just wooden ships, but that era, to get ideas of what would be on wooden ships, etc
I loved every single second of this video, he is absolutely incredible, a genius. His mind, the way he sees things and creates connections blew me away, I loved the Elizabeth & the map example, how he decided to transition that from a simple map on a table to a tile floor map and have her walk on it as she strategizes as well as the lanterns story for Inception. Just WOW!
Among the list of unsung heroes in the film industry. What incredibly creative, hardworking people. I wish we saw more of their processes. Thank you so much for creating these videos, Indy Mogul!
this is freaking awesome! I am literally in a location scouting and art design class now and this is great seeing someone in the industry break it down visually and give their thought processes.
Thank you SO MUCH for this interview and talking to Guy Dyas, along with the podcast episode. I’m a big fan of Guy and Inception, and now along with Parasite, has some of my favorite production design of any movie.
LOVE this interview. It's so interesting getting the breakdown of the sets and the problem solving that goes into them. Could have watched this for hours.
19:14 is too short for this good discussion. Thank you for this content.
We need more of these production designer videos! So insightful!

Dude. Ted. I appreciate you and what you're doing so much man. Thanks for making these and the professionals that come in to show us their experiences.

What a great interview! Learned a lot from this, love hearing production designers talk about their craft. I could listen to Guy talk for hours, what a smart, cool dude.
Great interview for sure. Just something that made me think was that only director's name was never mentioned, out of the three designed discussed, wonder why. Excellent interview, very helpful.
I love world building! Props and sets are so fun to put together.
