Get Ready... Get SET, DESIGN!!!

Dear Designer Diary,

Today was one of those challenging but FUN days as our creative team finished working on our newest adventure in SET DESIGN for "The Carrier" Film. In between the phone calls, meetings and order placements of our normally not normal business week, we have been creating "an office" for an episode shoot which will take place this weekend. What was our conference room filled with furnishings, product samples, large tile displays and bunches of other designer "stuff" is now the setting for a design office instead.

How many designers does it take to get one conference room table through a 3-foot door opening? We know! How many designers would bend a fingernail back to the bloody quick, grab a bandage and keep on working without fainting? We know! And finally, how many designers would listen all week to a program on the pre-set radio station that endlessly promoted a telethon filled with heart-breaking and tear-jerking story after story... without stopping from work long enough to climb over the samples crowded in the conference room closet to try and change the channel... while keeping their tears from falling on the equipment and causing an electrical short... especially since the wind interrupted power in our building yesterday? We know!

The Carrier's Director, Roger Franks Sr. dropped by to check out our progress and give us some insight as to the camera, lighting and actors needs. It has been enlightening to work and learn through his creative mind and inspirational words... we can't wait to see the final product but at least we felt like we made the cut today! Stay Tuned...
