The biggest blockbusters and the smallest plays turn to production designers to make storyboard and concept into reality. From makeup and costumes to sets and scenery, their expertise is the key cog in bringing stories to life on stage and screen. SCAD production design students build on a strong foundation of design process and techniques, developing the storytelling skills to create memorable experiences across art direction, lighting design, theme parks, set design, and more. Students beneft from a range of flm and stage environments: an intimate black-box theater; a covered outdoor amphitheater; three historic proscenium stages for large casts, Broadway-style musicals and dance productions; green screen studios; and flm and television studios. Students gain valuable industry insight during guest lectures and master classes by Academy Award winners Ruth E. Carter and Sandy Powell, virtual chats with top costume designers like Emmy Award winners Janie Bryant and Donna Zakowska, and talks with the production staf from films and shows like Blade Runner 2049 and Outlander.
These opportunities prepare alumni for a range of careers: working on major productions like Atlanta, SpiderMan: Homecoming, and The Walking Dead; designing costumes and props for celebrities like Lady Gaga; contributing to live events on Broadway and the New York Theatre Ballet, during the Super Bowl, and at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival; and joining major studios and companies like 20th Century Fox, ABC, HBO, HGTV, MTV, NBCUniversal, Walt Disney Imagineering, and more.
