LIndsey Hubbell: Actor, concept artist and costume designer in Denver, Colorado.

Hi everyone, I was asked to post in here as I maybe able to help demystify the importance of art dept.

I'm about to direct my first film here in NZ, but I come from an art dept background and am happy to give some advice. My first art dept gig was on LOTR doing on set props and costume breakdown, and the latest big title that I've worked on was Avatar 2 (but I'm still under NDA for that so I cant say what I did).

I mostly work in props, paint and miniatures, but for indie films i get picked up for all manner of things from production design to set dec/set construction. I studied as a 3d artist and photographer, but found i enjoyed making things practically more up my ally. A recent jump in technology with aduino and 3d printing has seen practical fx become more and more a viable again. I also work in publishing and have managed over 200 people working on one project a number of times.

As I walk into this new adventure as a director, I feel having an art dept background really gives me good tools understanding what is achievable (at any budget) and a highly tuned BS detector when dealing with this dept practically and digitally.

I'm pretty busy currently, but i will do my best to answer any questions i have experience with (please be patient). Id love to work with you too! But currently booked for the next year or so.

Cheers!

Hi there peoples of Stage32! Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi to the filmmaking community. I'm a filmmaker from Salisbury in the UK who has always loved films and for the past 8 years has (in some capacity) made films. I started making stop motion and moved into live action. I like interesting stories that are told well, that challenge my thinking and emotions. Or just make me laugh. Fav films include Amelie, Blade Runner, Super 8 and The Princess Bride. I'd ideally like to become a professional editor. I love every aspect of editing but I'm particularly fascinated by the meaning and higher emotion and ideas that can be created by putting two different images next to each other. At the moment I screenwrite and direct so I can edit (Salisbury isn't exactly a hive filmmaking activity) and in the process have learnt huge respect for these disciplines and some competence in them too. Hope to collaborate with people on some projects soon! Feel free to get in contact, Joe :)

Simplicity CAN be the ultimate sophistication ... Good luck to all of you, from Vikings in the north of Denmark Scandinavia - it´s springtime.

Hi Llndsey! Thanks for the connection. Have a great one.

When being an actor, it's important to have your own creations from their inception. That's why I paint! Develop visual literacy for yourself.

Wow, what an impressive bio! Thanks for the add, Lindsey! I hope to see you our next S32 Denver Meetup! Feel free to contact me if there's anything I can do to help. Stage32 is here for U!

I wish I had wings so I could fly myself to different Markets/Cities. I love traveling, but if I had wings I wouldn't have to go through security at the airport.
