About me
My names Ben Bird, an Assistant Art Director and Draughtsperson currently represented by The Art Department but also looking for work myself.I graduated from Arts University Bournemouth in 2020 with a Master’s degree in film production, specialising in Production Design. I then worked steadily as Art Department Assistant within the Art Departments for ITV’s Grantchester, BBC’s Killing Eve and Netflix drama Damage. In these roles, I undertook a lot of draughting for smaller construction elements on location; plugs, cover ups and location enhancements. I was also responsible for managing these locations and overseeing construction on the instalments.
In my role as Assistant Art Director on Better Man (UK Shoot) I was draughting for all the construction elements, many of which were large scale covers and plugs for shop fronts on London’s Regent Street. I have since honed these skills during my time on Back To Black, The Amy Winehouse Biopic.
My most recent project was as Draughtsperson on Back to Black, the Amy Winehouse Biopick.
