A round table with production designers, illustrator, concept artists.

A drawing is a map on which all the information for the future set is designed: materials, shapes, depth, lights, but also furniture, objects, fabrics. All items can be read separately, and yet, the whole drawing is designing the set.

The relationship between the production designer and the draft person is very intimate: how to express an idea at its very beginning without enclosing it in a shape with to many details? How to make the drawing readable enough for the director? Which style will you need to express your idea? Each design has its own expression and style to make an imaginary world come true.

This event is open to public, production designers, students, and the general public.
