Ben Grounds
Art Director
Ben initially trained as an interior designer (although he tends to keep that quiet) with this being quickly followed up by an apprenticeship at the BBC as a set designer and a brutal initiation working on pop promos as an art director!
With over 20 years experience working on all formats including 35mm, 16mm, HD and for web video, Ben knows how to stretch a budget and exceed expectations. Ben has worked on the complete range of productions from the exacting world of commercials, TV, corporate video and short film:
| Commercials | Delta / SKY / NTL / Warners / Child Line | |
| Documentary Drama |
BBC Horizon | |
| Promos | Channel 4 / E4 / Living TV / Discovery / History / MTV | |
| Web Video | Flash / Bounty / Macdonalds / R.A.B | |
| Corporate Film | BMW / BAE / Glaxo / BT / PWC / Barclays / HSBC |
Ben can provide an art department that will scale up to offer a complete range of art department services under one roof including:
- 2000 Square Feet Studio/Equipped Workshop Space
- Assistant Art Director/ Art Deptartment
- In House Model Makers/Special Effects
- Construction Manager/Build Carpenters.
- Scenic Artists/Painters.
- Prop Buyers/Prop Man
With this level of control over the design process and its implementation, costings are realistic and can suit all budgets.
