Creative problem-solving is an aspect of production design that I thoroughly enjoy. This shoot presented several challenges: daily set-up and bump-out, no permanent fixtures, no existing curtains or blinds to control light, and a stunt involving a major prop that had to be repeated twice.

I constructed non-permanent braces using tension rods and angle brackets to hang curtains; tailored twelve sets of fully functional curtains; built pinboards using fluted polypropylene and fabric; and constructed a faux-wood 'curtain pelmet' to conceal a projector screen fixture.

I sourced items through Marketplace, charity shops and Reverse Garbage to minimise costs and increase circularity. I am thoughtful in how I build spaces, and I find that sourcing and curating materials through these methods helps create an authentic environment on screen.

Continuity was a major focus due to the daily set-up and bump-out. Using a spreadsheet, I logged and organised all props and set dressing, noting their locations, quantities and set-up/pack-down routines. Thorough documentation was essential to maintaining visual coherence and coordinating with other crew members.

The collaboration between everyone on set was inspiring, and I had the opportunity to work alongside many talented people. I learnt a great deal and further developed my abilities throughout the process. Sickbay is a project I am honoured to have been a part of, and I look forward to its release!

Directed by Tom Anderson, Sickbay was a labour of love. Adapted from the 2024 stage play, which was a huge success at the Underground Playground Festival, the production was awarded Festival Favourite and Best New Work at the Avalon Awards ceremony. The project was supported through the Australian Cultural Fund. I came on board as Art Director, working closely with both the director and DoP to bring their vision to life.

Pre-production primarily focused on meeting with the director, Tom Anderson, and DoP, Harry Abbott, to gauge their vision and ideas. I developed numerous visual mood boards, paying close attention to colour, shape and mood, and how these elements contribute to the visual storytelling. Once the location was secured, I began designing and sourcing set dressing and props.
