Set the stage for success with production design

Across gilded period pieces, far-future blockbusters, and small-budget indies, production designers merge costumes, sets, lighting, and more to add authenticity to film and TV settings from the everyday to the unbelievable. The SCAD production design program places the spotlight on these critical positions, preparing a new generation of visionary designers to command starring roles on set in Georgia, Hollywood, and beyond.

At SCAD, students benefit from extensive coursework on all facets of production design and a trove of sets for experimentation and production of a range of films, TV pilots, and live performances: LED volume stages, soundstages, and green screen studios in Atlanta and Savannah; more than 40 streetscapes at SCAD Film Studios in Savannah, the largest and most comprehensive university film studio complex in the nation; and intimate black-box theaters, a covered outdoor amphitheater, and three historic proscenium stages for large casts. From these opportunities, SCAD production design alumni have graduated to working with studios and companies like 20th Century Studios, ABC, HBO, HGTV, MTV, NBCUniversal, Walt Disney lmagineering, the New York Theatre Ballet, Tyler Perry Studios, and more.
