They lock themselves in libraries to study detailed plans of city blocks; they completely invent the architectures of fictional planets; they get nerdy about tiny details we may never notice on screen. From sumptuous wallpaper to grimy gutters, Wakandan waterfalls to flooded South Korean alleyways, the attention to detail paid by production designers is often beyond comprehension. These visual magicians create the conditions for authentic storytelling to take place, so who, in your opinion, are the very best?
