This week we offer you two videos looking at the production design work for the movie Barbie. It is a wonderful example that built scenery and hand painted backdrops still have a place in filmmaking today.
First, HGTV sat down with Production Designer Sarah Greenwood and Set Decorator Katie Spencer for a look at the set of the Barbie movie. They walk us through Barbie Land’s intricate sets, sharing the renderings and concepts behind the design choices that brought the iconic Barbie Dreamhouses, and more to life.
Then in the Architectural Digest walk-thru video you learn more about the practical design elements as actor Margot Robbie tours Barbie’s house noting the design details, while director Greta Gerwig and Greenwood discuss the design choices while showing the crew shooting on the sets.
