Set and Production Design Expert

Overview

micro1 is seeking 50 contractors for a fully remote, worldwide set and production design evaluation role. The work is focused on reviewing set designs, production concepts, and briefs, then judging how well they support the story, the space, the camera, and the budget.

What You’ll Do

• Review set designs, room setups, and production concepts against a script, brief, or budget.
• Assess whether a design better fits the story, setting, and intended production needs.
• Evaluate scale, layout, sightlines, colors, materials, and how the space will work for actors and camera.
• Identify issues that could cause problems during production, such as an awkward shot, unrealistic materials on camera, or period-inappropriate details.
• Write concise explanations for each decision so another reviewer can understand your reasoning.

Requirements

• Professional experience in production design, set design, art direction, set decoration, assistant art direction, or theatre design.
• Real production experience working from scripts or briefs, budgets, builds, shoot or install days, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Comfort with design tools such as SketchUp, AutoCAD, Vectorworks, Rhino, or Photoshop, or strong hand drafting skills.
• Ability to explain why one design works better than another.
• Clear written English.

Selection Process

• Apply with your resume and a short profile.
• Complete a short curation interview about your experience with exhibitions, collections, and attribution.
• Review of your experience against the project needs.
• If selected, you will receive guidelines and begin with an initial task before continuing.
