Production Designer Erin Magill and Set Decorator Melissa Licht break down the builds, color logic, and prop strategy for On Swift Horses. Highlights: • Disney Ranch farmhouse and diner; Santa Anita racetrack interiors/exteriors. • Casino made from an abandoned AMC lobby—drop ceilings, carpet, bar re-work, and period lighting from Lenny/RC Vintage. • Subdivision “model home” in green/pink—designed to feel off for Muriel. • Nursery wallpaper: vintage pattern rescued and re-printed. • Coded queer bar message board—period-accurate, layered ephemera.

Kasra Farahani, the Production Designer for Fantastic Four: First Steps, reveals the complexity behind selecting the perfect blue. From custom mixes to multiple shades, discover the intricate process behind this iconic color. #FantasticFour #ProductionDesign #KasraFarahani #ColorPalette #BehindTheScenes

Production Designer Kasra Farahani explains that the Fantastic Four: First Steps marketing team used graphics designed by the art department. This included the logo for the film! Why don't they do this more often? #FantasticFour #KasraFarahani #Marvel #ArtDepartment #MovieDesign #FirstSteps

Production Designer Kasra Farahani unpacks the Fantastic Four look: a parallel-1960s world where Reed Richards’ design logic binds the Baxter Building, Baxter Lab, Fantasticar, and Excelsior. We dive into: • Dimensional-printed mosaics first explored on Loki • The family of FF blues (wardrobe vs. lab vs. vehicles) • Single-stage paints for fiberglass-correct gloss • The white lab with bold primary hits—no cliché “dark steel + blue LEDs” • Yancy Street realism vs. Times Square retro-futurism (40 storefronts) • Early-color computing playback design • How the art department graphics flowed into the film’s marketing

Production Designer Kasra Farahani discusses the retrofuturistic design of Fantastic Four: First Steps, set in a parallel 1960s. Discovering the perfect alchemy between period accuracy and futuristic vision was the fun part. #KasraFarahani #FantasticFour #Retrofuturism #ProductionDesign

Production Designer Kasra Farahani breaks down Fantastic Four’- First Steps's retro-futurist language: the Baxter Lab’s white-with-primaries palette, dimensional-printed mosaics, and a New York that’s two-thirds period, one-third future. We cover Yancy Street’s realism (40 storefronts), early-color playback graphics, and how the art department’s graphics threaded into marketing. Perfect for designers and cine-nerds hunting practical methods and color/finish logic. 👉 Get the FREE Quick Reference Set Decorating Template: www.decoratingpagespodcast.com Discover the Art of TV & Film Design with Decorating Pages Podcast Hosted by Emmy-winning Set Decorator Kim Wannop, this podcast takes you behind the scenes of your favorite shows and movies.

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.
