Claire Johnston
Production Designer & Art Director
About
I combine my fine art sculpture and installation art background with textural variety from set decorating. With BA (Hons) Fine Art Sculpture, I started as a prop maker for Feature films then moved into high end Music Videos & Commercials as Stylist- Set Decorator & Art Director when budgets were fearless. I moved to scripted drama, having always been fascinated in researching subjects, historical detail, and character habits & patterns.
Good design & script visualisation is inventive people-watching, the act of observing people and their interactions involves picking up on idiosyncrasies to try to interpret a person's story in a script.
With 30+ diverse credits as Supervising Art Director or Art Director, I have a forensic eye for detail, budget wizardry, contacts & connections to achieve any request and confidence to handle any scripted challenge as Production Designer. I manage a loyal team of highly inventive creative minds.
I aim to meet the challenges that arise from budget, schedule, or location by finding new ways to solve problems and be more innovative with resources through collaboration & flexibility.
