Road-Map to Your First Job in Set Design...

And Avoiding a Quarter-life Crisis

If you’d like to work in props and set design,
but you’re not sure how to do that,
this is the perfect place to start...

The road into the film and TV industry is rarely a straight one.

This is especially the case if you're trying to work in a props / set design role.

​Don't worry - it's not just you. It was exactly the same for me as well.

But it doesn't need to be as difficult as this.

​With the right knowledge and guidance, the process can be a lot easier.

About Me

My name is James. I initially studied mechanical engineering and industrial design.

Shortly after graduating, I unexpectedly got a job as an Extra (SA) on a BBC documentary.

I really enjoyed the experience, and it made me realise that I would like to work in the film and TV industry in some capacity.

However, I knew absolutely nothing about the film and TV industry. As you can imagine, it's not the sort of thing they teach you about when studying mechanical engineering.

​As a result, when I was trying to enter the industry, I experienced a "quarter-life crisis".

Eventually, I managed to find my feet and secure regular work in the industry.
