Here are a few of my ‘artsy’ digital photos that I shot while scouting various locations for film and television. Part of the fun of being a production designer or art director is being able to travel all over the world and scout great locations for filming. I’m always amazed at what people will show you if you tell them you’re making a film. People open up their homes and their lives to you at the drop of a hat. It’s really quite incredible.

Just finished up another wedding and reception on One Tree Hill. Season 8 has been building to the big wedding between the Brooke and Julian characters. We initially planned on using the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, but that proved to be too expensive for our budget as well as difficult to fit into our shooting schedule. So we instead used the new Convention Center in Wilmington. We gave the reception a bit of a sleeker feel, since the Brooke character would be drawn to that look due to her design background.

Here is the concept art that I drew for the set, as well as some set pics.
