Developing white card models is a key aspect of set design that I am particularly passionate about. Throughout my studies in Film, TV and Stage Design, I have explored a range of model-making techniques, including traditional construction methods, illustrative approaches, and detailed 3D-printed designs.Â
The Controller’s Study
Influenced by Japanese interior design, I created a clean, precise architectural model using a combination of traditional techniques and 3D-printed structural elements. Figurines were incorporated to communicate the scale, movement and functionality of the space, particularly within the central conversation pit, while demonstrating how scenes could be staged and filmed.
The Talented Mr. Ripley
For my white-card model of The Talented Mr. Ripley, I combined classic architecture with 1950s Italian influences, incorporating interior arches and integrated doorways. I considered how the set would transform throughout the day, using a lit backing to replicate natural environmental light and enhance the realism of the design.
