The Set Coordinator provides art department-style support for a very busy Production team. We are a dynamic, all-hands-on-deck team with a unique and fast-paced workflow. We have multiple filming spaces/sets that are frequently “turned over” to be used for a variety of projects — this role will execute that turnover. The ideal candidate will be organized, meticulous, efficient, and have an eye for design. This is a highly physical and self-managed role.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Ensure that studio spaces are set up and ready for filming sessions, including striking previous sets and assembling/decorating upcoming sets, from walls to knickknacks.
- Physically move heavy set pieces such as flats and furniture.
- Oversee storage and inventory systems of props and set pieces.
- Maintain continuity of existing sets by recreating and matching past setups from reference images.
- Assist with assembling and designing new sets, including walls, flooring, curtains, furniture, artwork, etc.
- Creatively repurpose existing set pieces in new ways/combinations to create different “looks.”
- Be the point person for executing any art department needs. Perform runs, source and purchase props and new set pieces, hand craft or modify props/set pieces when needed, handle deliveries/returns, etc.
- Help move and organize filming equipment and supplies, and when needed, jump in as an extra hand on set during filming, lighting, or striking.
- Be at the ready for any miscellaneous tasks that might pop up, from coffee/food runs to changing light bulbs to anything in between.
- Work with the general office to build desks, file cabinets, move things around, etc.
Requirements:
- 1-2+ years experience in an art/construction role, ideally in a production or theater-based setting.
- An established understanding of creating spaces and sets to work on camera.
- Detail-oriented, with top-notch organizational and time management skills. Able to juggle a wide variety of concurrent projects in different phases.
- A true Team Player, proactive, helpful, honest, and calm under pressure. This is a no-ego environment where no task is too small.
- Flexible and able to “roll with the punches” within an ever-changing game plan, and able to problem-solve on the fly.
- Some traveling may be required, including flying or driving for long stretches of time.
- Has adequate transportation to drive around LA as needed picking up items.
