“When you see it, you are a kid in Texas Star Wars Y bleeding“This is the first time I’ve watched subtitles and seen a concept artist and all the people behind the scenes,” said production designer Bruton Jones. “This is what I wanted to do and I haven’t looked back.”
When they took him to work Great teamJones immediately jumped on the concept. “I was very excited about the slogan because it was about what’s black,” Jones said. He was also impressed with the team he worked with. “I didn’t realize there were so many people of color in the industry,” he laughs. “I often move around on my bladder because I’m usually the only one in the room.”
Created by Phil Augusta Jackson, Great team is a sitcom about a group of friends who meet regularly in a wine bar. The ensemble includes Eco Kellum, Nicole Bayer, Justin Cunningham, Aaron Jennings, Carl Tart and Grass Mercedes.
“It was really great to do this project,” says Jones, “and to study Los Angeles as a person of color who is not tied to a community.” The venues in the series, despite being built on the stage, are modeled after the actual Los Angeles districts, which required Jones to explore the venue. He says: “It is always important to look for places to draw inspiration from and influence what this space will be like.”
While location scouting was important to his work, an even deeper understanding of each character was even more important to Jones. “Phil invented Tom,” says Jones, “the Bible about every character, what they were and the music.” [they listened to]”What they read and what influence do they have”. After reading the numbers, Jackson took Jones and the team to meet his friends who were influencing the characters. “When I immersed myself in the environment and took the light and the textures, the conversations of the people, it already provided me with the tools I needed: its tone, its musical influence and its place in the environment.”
After creating the core set, Jones was able to refine the details. “As a designer,” he says, “I like to try to create familiar spaces that have certain details, textures and stories, so that even if you haven’t been to the space, you feel familiar.” Jones used these details as visual cues to give the visitor an idea of the location, such as the architectural style used in certain neighborhoods or the variety of plants and flowers native to different parts of California.
One Easter egg that Jones wants people to notice is the wines on display at the bar. “Every episode [Phil] “We have introduced a different wine,” said Jones. “I have done a lot of research in many red wineries and vineyards around the world … [so] I have selected several red wine cellars that do not receive major exhibitions “.
