Have any of you been following “Game of Thrones”? Or have you seen any of the movies from the “Star Wars” or “Harry Potter” franchises? Are any of you like me, who believe the characters were really in the places where their scenes were set? That’s because their set design was way on point.
So many movies and television shows nowadays have amazing set design. The increased budget doesn’t hurt, but credit should also be given to the imagination of the set designers who have been influenced by legends of architecture and interior design.
Take a look at Rivendell in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and tell me that isn’t the perfect vacation spot. The same goes for places like Dorne or Highgarden in “Game of Thrones.” Set designers can make any place look cozy or threatening.
One of the most impressive pieces of miniature design can be found in Ridley Scott’s classic, “Blade Runner.” The film was produced in a time way before CGI was introduced, and yet the futuristic, dark, grimy world looked every bit as realistic as that of “The Matrix,” which came out almost 15 years later.
People should learn to pay more respect to set designers. After all, the worlds of our favorite films won’t be complete without them.
