LA-based designer Tina Charad has worked on some of the biggest blockbuster films you could probably think of, including 'The Batman,' 'Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood,' 'Blonde,' 'Avengers: Infinity War,' 'La La Land,' 'Maleficent,' 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' to name but a few, and she’s most recently worked on 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,' and Marvel’s 'Werewolf by Night.'
But, despite her impressive list of credits, Tina is not one to self-aggrandise. Instead, Tina talks to Stephen about the realities of her job - that it’s as much mundane as it is magical - and how she feels the glamour of the movies often disguises the reality of making them.
Tina tells us about her move from the UK to the US, from advertising to filmmaking, and offers her straightforward advice to any designers considering a similar change in their career.

In this episode, Kaush tells us how working in design agencies at the beginning of his career gave him a solid foundation prior to making the move into the world of film, and why he’d encourage others to do the same.
Kaush joins us from the art department of his latest TV show, and discusses how he’s seen graphic design in filmmaking evolve over his time in the industry, and how he thinks the role will only continue to grow in the future.

In this special episode of the podcast, we're joined by not one, but two guests.
Andy Bottomley and Camise Oldfield are the co-chairs of the Graphics Union UK, which represents freelance Graphic Designers in the UK film & TV industry.
Like Opening Credits, the Graphics Union UK are all about championing creative talent and building supportive communities for film pros, so it was really great to have Andy and Camise on to talk more about the role of Graphic Designer for film & TV and what they do to help new and existing film creatives.
In this episode, Stephen chats with Andy and Camise about their bold new plans for the Union and how they balance these with their own film projects, which include 'The Crown', 'Luther', 'Wonder Woman' and 'Avenue 5'.
Andy and Camise also answer questions that were sent in by you, so thank you to everyone who asked a question.
