 An excellent explaination of that "mystery" credit July 28, 1996

For the art or architecture student who is into films and is still uncertain of a career direction, this book lays out the procedure and the challenges in becoming a motion picture art director or a production designer. While covering the "nuts and bolts" of the work, the messages are often driven home by war stories from the author's own experiences in the business. Easy Reading.

Es un libro que explica bien el trabajo de los directores artísticos norteamericanos, su utilidad en otros países es más dudosa. Buenas ilustraciones, bien escrito.
Great resource! September 30, 2007

I am a video production teacher and this book is an outstanding resource to teach kids what a career as an art director can entail. The chapters are clear and have great graphics and pictures to reinforce the information. My students who have used the book so far have enjoyed it.
 Thorough but Dated July 28, 2008

This book covers a lot of ground and does a great job describing exactly what an art director does. However, the book was published in 1994. Technology in the past decade has dramatically changed the nature of film production, so a lot of the information in this book is very dated
