Am I blind or there is there no dedicated space here for production designers?
Are there any registered? If so, feel free to connect!
It feels totally weird, not fitting in any of the pre-made categories ... it would be lovely to see some of the work people do in that field here on stage 32. So if you know of anyone registered here, please point me in the right direction.
Cheerio.

I might not be understanding your terminology. When I think of a 'Production Designer', I think more along the lines of someone who designs and builds sets for film but more often for theater.
Dear Doug, that's exactly how I would define it ;) Again, I may have simply overlooked it when I browsed the "lounges".

A PD is responsible for the overall look of a TV show/film. Especially in TV, the PD is one of the two creatives responsible for translating the showrunner's (whereas in film, it's the Director's) vision into reality - the other key creative being the DP. For the PD, this often includes overseeing HMU and wardrobe, in addition to sets and locations. It's an oversight, coordinating position, much like the Line Producer is for budget and scheduling.
But you're right, Tommi Brem, there's no specific Lounge topic for PD, or for any Art Department topics for that matter. Hey, Beth Fox Heisinger, maybe start a new Lounge Topic?
John - I/we used to call those folk in charge of the overall look of a tv show...'Showrunners'. (I still do.)
