VectorWorks Designer Plays Role in Set Design for James Bond's CASINO ROYALE
Nemetschek North America announced that VectorWorks Designer was used to assist in designing the sets for the new James Bond film, CASINO ROYALE.
For CASINO ROYALE, art director Steven Lawrence used VectorWorks Designer to produce 2D drawings and site plans to assist the production designer and director in mapping out how action would take place within an area. Lawrence also used VectorWorks Designer to create 3D models of sets to help the team get a feel for a set before they arrive on location.
"EON Productions wanted to kick off a whole new era for the Bond films, and we wanted to do that within the art department as well, with a hot, new look," says Lawrence. "Most art departments in the UK still draw with pencil and T-square and are skeptical such a radical change. But when they start to use a few of the tools within VectorWorks Designer and see how much more they can do and how much faster they can work, they're blown away."
He continues: "Using VectorWorks Designer, I can design a set-complete with 3D models and views and 2D construction drawings-with so much more speed than hand drafting with the same detail and much more flexibility. VectorWorks has given me quite an edge in terms of production output. Now I can spend a lot more time on the design than on figuring out the geometry or specifics, or redrawing requested changes."
