SDSA Day With the Set Decorator
Universal Studios


Universal Studios was the setting for fall edition of Day With the Set Decorator. 
Students experienced some real movie magic at the studio, where they learned first hand how Set Decorators transform the famous New York Street and back lot into everything from a war torn village to a heavenly hamlet. They also enjoyed an insider sneak peek of  the sets for the much-anticipated WILL & GRACE.

Thank you to these Set Decorators for sharing their work and experiences:
David Smith SDSA, Lisa Alkofer SDSA, Rand Sagers SDSA, Natalie Contreras SDSA,
Jason Howard SDSA and Peter Gurski SDSA.

Thanks to our gracious host Beverly Hadley and Universal Studio Property for
a wonderful and enlightening day.
