Episode Description from the Publisher

A sign painter - or scenic artist - is responsible for creating all hand-painted signage on a film set - from old school shop signs, to futuristic logos from another world. Yinka meets sign painter Jorge Jacobs to hear all about the artistic touch that he brings to productions. This role requires artistic skill, a knowledge of different lettering styles and techniques, and the ability to work under pressure to meet deadlines and collaborate with other departments.  This is Out of Frame, where we celebrate and explore the work of below the line roles in film and TV. Jorge shares stories of working on The Six Triple Eight, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Lee. Out of Frame is produced by Listen for CrewHQ at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden.
