This is The Art Dept, a podcast dedicated to the art behind movie and TV magic. This is an exploration and a showcase of the creatives that never write a line, say a single word nor appear on screen yet their work creates the scene, the feel and the backstory for the characters you love and love to hate. I’m Josh Cooperman and in this episode, you are going to hear from William DeBiasio, set decorator on such TV shows as Famous in Love, Ray Donovan and Pretty Little Liars and an upcoming new NETFLIX original project called What/If. William is what I would call a complete set decorator. He takes everything into account prior to setting up the design. He pre-strategizes what products may get popular, establishes the spaces for where he believes the characters will develop as people over time and imagines and re-imagines their lives, how they live and react to other characters. This is a conversation with set decorator William DeBiasio.
