Episode 383
Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
On today’s episode of In Love with the Process, host Mike Pecci goes deep into one of the most powerful and artistic roles in filmmaking, Production Design.Joining Mike is Academy Award winning production designer James Price (Speak No Evil, Poor Things, Bugonia) whose work on Poor Things earned him an Oscar for creating one of the most visually rich and emotionally immersive worlds in modern cinema.Together they break down what a production designer actually does on a film, how James collaborates closely with directors and cinematographers, and why production design is the backbone of tone, mood, and storytelling. This is the department that quietly shapes how you feel in every scene.James walks through his full creative process, from building miniatures and custom sets, to why he often insists on constructing ceilings for realism and lighting control, to how he creates detailed mood books the moment he reads a script. These books are a collection of sketches, images, textures, and thematic references that guide the entire visual identity of a film.They talk about going to war creatively, solving impossible problems, and turning words on a page into living, breathing worlds.If you love film craft, visual storytelling, or want to understand how movie worlds are truly built, this is a must listen episode.► James IG► Mike's IG ► ILWP's IG Music: Code Elektro , Betamaxx Mitch Murder——SPONSORS——► FujiFilm 10% off Accessories (https://shopusa.fujifilm-x.com/accessories/) and Merch (https://shopusa.fujifilm-x.com/brand-merch/) Promo code PROCESS10► Puget Systems► Blackmagic Design Inlovewiththeprocess.com Hosted on Acast.
