Night Shift is a short action film produced by the award winning production company ‘Prima Lux Films’. The story follows a guilt ridden police officer who is reluctantly caught up in a deal gone wrong between her partner and a notorious mob boss. What follows is several floors of cat and mouse as she fights her way out of the building making it to safety.

My first short film project saw me thrown into the deep end designing several sets without much knowledge of film design. Relying on my own intuition and Architectural design background, I managed to build a world that represented the story. Having now established myself as a confident Production Designer, I can see several areas that could have been developed at a much deeper level, however I am proud of my efforts and am proud to see how my work has grown since this first project.

DESIGN EDUCATION

Night shift was a great opportunity to learn by doing. Throughout the project, I learnt several invaluable lessons just by trial and error. Looking back on this project, I can also identify several design concepts and ideas that have been touched on, where if I were to return to this project now, these concepts would still be used as a foundation while the level of design and detail would be explored in far greater detail.
