Experiencing the world of Harry Potter can be a great way for film and TV crafts pros on hiatus to spend time. But it’s not a family excursion: During the often long lulls between projects, it’s a way for some designers to bridge the gap between paychecks. Many have discovered that work in themed entertainment — parks, rides, museums — fits the bill perfectly.
Cory Lorenzen, production designer on ABC’s “The Goldbergs,” moves fluidly between the two worlds. He points out that TV shows and theme parks have a lot in common. Both rely on narratives and skilled storytelling to engage an audience. “You’re still looking at ways to visually tell a story and create a sense of place, purpose, time and emotion,” Lorenzen says.
Draftsman Tom Wagman, who also works on “The Goldbergs,” first met Lorenzen while working on the Harry Potter exhibit for the Warner Bros. studio tour in London.
