Carlos Zaragoza's journey to production design in animation started out as a youngster in Madrid, and wove through fine art and live action, including working on Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth. We walk through his entire career including key films, and touching on how sees the role of production design.
Carlos has recently been nominated for an Annie for his work as production designer on the Sony Pictures Animation film Vivo, a beautiful Lin Manuel Miranda musical directed by Kirk DeMicco. Vivo is a delightful feast of colour and texture expertly crafted to deliver the vibrant characters and great story. I know you'll love this conversation, so jump in!
