Simon Bright

Art Director

Wellington, New Zealand

Q&A

What is challenging about your job?

Collating the latest information, much of which gets changed last minute, to assure that the complete sets are ready to shoot.

Most exciting thing about working on the sequels?

Seeing the new environments on Pandora and getting glimpses of their context in this world.

Most memorable thing from seeing Avatar in theaters?

Seeing how our live action sets were actually just a small part of the story. There was so much in Avatar that I hadn't seen before while making the movie.

First job in film?

Art Department Runner.
