Graphics

For this season I got to make a lot of graphics for props, set dressing and covering up existing images at real locations. This is a sampling from posters, ads, and labels. Most of this work is to help out the Graphic Designer when the timelines get extra tight, so it’s a lot of very quick work meant to just be in the background of shots.

Graphic Surveys

Our show started back up alongside with essential workers, so the world was still very much under lock down. Our graphic designer was working remotely, so here are some samples of documents I put together to send to out to them. For each set piece that needed graphics I photographed from all sides and laid out the dimensions for it in it’s entirety.

Backlot Hardware

Before COVID Warner Brother’s rented out door hardware for use on their back lot, but Mike, the man who used to maintain the hardware got let go. This means that we were told that if we put up hardware on the doors of the back lot that they would stay up in perpetuity. We filmed all over their lot, so the hundred something pieces of hardware I chose is mostly still up today.

Frank Illustration

Although this wouldn’t be considered a typical duty of a production assistant, I drew this image of Frank Gallagher “technically” wearing a mask that used for binder covers and production signs. This wasn’t really used on camera, but was a fun image for our department/the production.
