The production has satisfied all of the qualifications and capabilities consistent with the "state of the art" technology available at the time it was completed.

OBS

One of the leading examples of a classic film was Orson Welles’ "Citizen Kane" (1941).

DEF

Technician responsible for designing sets, sometimes also costumes and graphics.

OBS

The art director, sometimes credited as the production designer ..., fills the same basic role as the designer in the theatre, although, as the resources of photography, lighting, and special effects have developed, the demands on him become infinitely more complex and varied.

OBS

There is some confusions nowadays between the functions of the art director and the production designer in feature films. Originally the production designer was someone whose scope and talents were much wider than those of the art director-his task was not only to give sketched ideas of film sets but to concern himself with every artistic aspect of the film from each individual camera set-up through to the design of the costumes and credit titles. Today the credit Production Designer is often used to cover the functions and responsibilities undertaken by the art director.

The designer [in animation film] is the counterpart of the art director in live action film. He determines the style of a film, its visual character, the colour theme and colour continuity, the tones of backgrounds and figures and textures. He may also create the actual characters in a film which he usually draws jointly with the director.... The designer also prepares visual proportion charts of the characters to safeguard uniformity during the production, especially if many animation units are working on the same character.

La technique générale de fabrication [d'un dessin animé] demeure la suivante : Un dessinateur-créateur trace les grandes lignes du sujet, décors et personnages. Un animateur reprend ces croquis et réalise les principaux mouvements.

OBS

Un deuxième artisan fondamental du film est le créateur des dessins. Sa compétence artistique doit être très grande car, de la facture de ses images, dépendra la qualité première du film. Un cinéaste amateur ne possède pas ce don a priori. Aussi s'adressera-t-il inévitablement à une seconde personne : le dessinateur-créateur. [...] Il est intéressant de confier au créateur des images l'exécution des dessins-clé.
