Explain what the production designer is responsible for from script to visualisation.

Well, the production designer is responsible for everything you see on the screen except the actor in terms of the environment. The physical investiture, to use a big word, the physical environment that you�re creating to produce the illusion of reality.

There are about fourteen different crafts that the Production Designer touches. I won�t say they work for him, we all work together. And the only real boss is the Producer or Director, everybody else is at their service. But the Production Designer has an important role in pulling together all the threads that have to be woven into the fabric of the story being told cinematically.
