For two days we immersed ourselves into The Art Department. A trip into the magic of visual storytelling. Character design, concept art, background visuals, character building, robotics, props, set dressing: every single detail a crew has to think of and decide upon before they can get start actually making the film.
The Art Department was co-curated by professionals in the industry. Amongst others Jort van Welbergen, Wouter Tulp and Leon Tukker.
In 2018 we’re back with the second edition of The Art Department, join us!
Events like Playgrounds are really important for me and the creative industry. It inspires, people from all different backgrounds and ages - Loish
