Ben Watson is an award-winning Art Director specialising in post production, based in London. With credits across Netflix, Apple TV+, BBC and A24 - including Dear England, Bad Sisters, Top Boy and We Live in Time - his work bridges the art department and post production, taking the visual worlds that production designers build and extending and completing those designs through the post production workflow.
Where traditional boundaries place art direction on set and visual effects in post, Ben's practice has always existed across both. From replicating physical sets to creating virtual ones. Enhancing costumes and makeup digitally to achieve effects not possible practically. Creating screen graphics and motion design that live within the same visual language as the production design around them. It's always been about the coherence of a world - however it's made.
Ben works across both post production and production design - a natural reflection of a practice that has always been about building worlds, not just finishing them.
