Another stop in New York City, via Hollywood: Set Decorator Greg Grande on the set of FRIENDS. “I got a call to do a pilot,” Grande shrugged. That pilot, of course, has parlayed into nearly a decade of work for him. SET DECOR Win 2003 Photo by Ellen


A Day With Set Decorators

By Eric Althoff


In SDSA’s Educational Outreach series Day with Set Decorators, prospective set decorators once again mixed it up with seasoned professionals. Warner Brothers Studios generously opened their prophouse and drapery department, as well as the soundstages and sets for some of television’s most popular shows: ER, FRIENDS, and the crime drama
WITHOUT A TRACE. Numerous DWSD volunteers, from committee members planning the event to mentors guiding the groups, shared aspects of set decorating with those literally following in their footsteps. Special credit goes to Tracy Balsz and her colleagues at Warner Brothers Marketing, for making this special day possible.
