Beyond just making things look pretty, in the art department Sarah has used visual elements to tell the story. Her choices in color palette, texture, and period-appropriate decor can establish a film's mood and theme, whether it's the gritty realism of a crime drama or the fanciful whimsical nature of a fairytale/or a great work of fiction. The art department must have a wild imagination to create a world but also have the practical knowledge to bring that vision to life within a specific budget. Sarah is very resourceful, she has worked on short films with scrappy budgets and feature films with ample resources; her goal is always to deliver the highest quality work no matter the funds.
