<span class=normal>What was your first project as a production designer? <BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>I had worked on over 20 films before I had a chance to be a Production Designer. I worked my way up in the Art Department from Production Assistant to Assistant Art Director to Art Director, over a few years. I was very happy being an Art Director and one of the best jobs I had was art directing Zack Snyders remake of Dawn of the Dead. A few years later the line producer from that film asked me if I would be interested in designing the latest George Romero movie. It was a dream come true but unfortunately George didnt want anyone associated with the remake, as he wasnt involved with it in any way, other than the minor fact that created the entire genre and Dawn of the Dead was the most successful example of it. I understood and had given up on the possibility of this job. After two weeks I got a call from the line producer again late on a Friday. He set up a meeting with George. It ended up being a very cordial meeting. Moments after I left the meeting I got the call from the line producer that I had the job. It was my first try at a production design job and it was on George A. Romeros Land of the Dead. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Stay tuned for Part 2 of interview with Arv where he talks about RE: Afterlife</span>
