Budget affects everything.

Budgets

I don’t even know of a room that doesn’t have a flat-screen TV in it. These are things that just come in environments these days. And if you were going to walk into a space, where did you come from? Was there a bathroom around the corner? These are things that are authentic, and that’s what makes successful television. It’s not pre-produced garbage. It’s believability and connection. The environment has to tell that story.

Teacher

I was a gay kid in high school in the late ’90s, and I was in theater club. I was never a thespian. I was much more of a lighting guy or a backstage guy. Because I wanted to do something easy for the rest of my life, I thought, “Maybe I’ll go and apply to colleges that specialize in theater set design. I’ll do that. That’s what I want to do”. With theater, really, I’d be around the gays.

School

I was applying to the art school, but there was a checklist that said I had to do either production design or stage management or acting. I thought, “I don’t want to be an actor, but I know production and stage management take acting classes” – this is literally my internal monologue. I was like, “Designers don’t have to take acting classes. Cool. I’ll check that box”.

I’m being totally honest, but I really do get chills every time I see something that I designed, painted on the biggest stage in Universal, standing proud there among all the other stages. I think, “That is so amazing that I did this”.

If the person or artist doesn’t touch it, and if the camera stays relatively far away from it, it doesn’t really have to be real.
