INTAKE 2 - SEPTEMBER 2019
JOANNA TANNER, NATSKO VILLANUEVA, EMMA NEILSON
Creative collaboration is the key to the EDs program. We work in a diverse landscape that provides new challenges daily. Embracing this element we have invited our long time friends Boi & Eskae to work with our EDs for this intake. Combining their music and experience to guide the team for their design project. Sexy dark moody pop. Boi & Eskae express timeless emotions with a depth that shows several lives. Lyrics that find their own place in your head and your heart and melodies that seduce, capture and enrapture.
Joanna Tanner
"Having a background in content creation and studying Film and Television at Griffith Film School has developed my ability to convey emotions and stories even within the smallest details. I thrive off the challenge of creating something out of nothing and working in a collaborate environment. The thing I love most about production design is testing the boundaries of my creativity whilst also taking in the restrictions of budget and space."
Natsko Villanueva
"I never knew a career in design existed until one day my Year 11 Arts Teacher approached me, handed me a carrot and asked me to design my dream house inspired by a plump, satin- smooth, healthy-looking orange root vegetable. Inspired by my teacher’s creativity, I took myself onto a journey of exploration into different fields of design – graphics design, web design, industrial design, architectural design only to find myself signed up for a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design at Queensland University of Technology. My love for performing arts is what led me to explore the stage and set design domain. I’d love to be able to leave a legacy in creating visual landmarks that helps define the identity of a film, tv show, theatre show. I am now thrilled to be undertaking this creative pursuit with Icework’s Emerging Designer Program. My name is Natsko, I am a designer, I am a hands-on thinker and I have the power to shape the world – the real and the imaginary."
Emma Neilson
"They say you can live a thousand lives through stories; joy, heartbreak, risk and adventure are just some of the things I experience when swept up in a film. Pairing this with a desire to find a career that satisfies my need to express myself creatively, I found myself drawn to the film & TV industry. In my eagerness to learn more about the visual storytelling process, I studied Film and TV at Bond University. It was only after graduating however, that I came to realise that production design is where my creativity could truly flourish. I love the problem-solving nature of design, the way it challenges you to think outside of the box. There is nothing more satisfying when this results in a set that transports you to an alternate world, immersing you further into the story."
