"Fallout" "Fargo" "The Gentlemen" "Ripley" "Shōgun" - 2024 Emmy Nominated One Hour Production Designer Roundtable

August 13, 2024

Decorating Pages Podcast presents Emmy Nominated One-Hour Production Designer Roundtable. Joining in the discussion are Production: Designers Howard Cummings “Fallout”, Trevor Smith “Fargo”, Martyn John “ The Gentlemen”, David Gropman “ Ripley” and Helen Javis “ Shōgun”. This episode explores how Howard Cummings utilized virtual reality glasses and a virtual art department to execute Jonathan Nolan’s cinematic vision. Trevor Smith discusses the creative and logistical hurdles faced on the set of 'Fargo,' including building a gas station on an airstrip and battling a snowstorm. Helen Javis shares the meticulous process of recreating 17th-century Japan on location in Vancouver. Martyn John reveals the intricate details of designing a skunk farm set and adapting to last-minute dialogue changes by director Guy Ritchie. David Gropman reflects on the extensive location scouting and beautiful scenic details for the sets for New York apartment sets.

Together, the guests discuss the complexities of creating these vastly different sets in contemporary, period and fantasy. How they went from concept to screen and give us some insight into their personal influence in their careers. 

Emmy voting opens tomorrow! I hope these interviews give a glimpse into the spectacular work that is being acknowledged with Emmy nominations. The 76th Creative Arts Emmy Awards will take place at the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE over two consecutive nights Saturday, Sept. 7, and Sunday, Sept. 8. An edited presentation will air Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024, at 8:00 PM EDT/PDT on FXX.
