Class One of The Art of Influence opens with The Wizard of Oz is FREE! How Production Designer Cedric Gibbons and Set Decorator Edwin B. Willis built Oz from the ground up. I unpack the sepia-to-color switch, Munchkinland’s circular plan, the Yellow Brick Road as a story spine, Emerald City’s Art Deco vocabulary, the Wizard’s forced-perspective corridor, and why the sets still feel alive today. This episode is free; the full masterclass—covering MGM’s greatest builds and their ripple effect on modern film and TV—is available on my site. I am so proud of this masterclass that I have put together. If you are a student looking for a production design class that is visual, concise and through this is for you. I’m releasing this masterclass after a deep dive into the films shaped by Production Designer Cedric Gibbons and Set Decorator Edwin B. Willis. I’m starting The Art of Influence with the partnership that wrote the visual grammar of classic Hollywood. From the world-circling lobby of Grand Hotel to Oz’s Emerald City, Versailles-level excess in Marie Antoinette, the gas-lit paranoia of Gaslight, the cozy Americana of Meet Me in St. Louis, and the painterly dream of An American in Paris—this is a field guide to how design drives story. I’m pulling technique, influence, and the craft choices you can steal for your next build.

We cover building the cell set in a derelict Uruguay prison (doors, rails, lighting added by the team), the scripted bead motif solved with wooden strands, and the deliberate “second-tier” poster aesthetic. We break down Aurora’s buttercream suite, the salmon pop bathroom, the matte red nightclub set built for emotion over gloss, the Ziegfeld-scale drapery staircase, clever re-dress moves between sets, and the textured South American village homage to classic MGM backlots.
