MEET THE SPEAKER: JAMIE LAPSLEY

Production Designer Jamie Lapsley has designed the heart-pounding Golden Globe & Emmy-lauded series BODYGUARD for Netflix/BBC and also recently designed the cat-and-mouse thriller WE HUNT TOGETHER for SHOWTIME.

Working between Scotland, London and Europe she’s designed across all genres and budgets, winning accolades for her work alongside being a key collaborator on many award winning features and drama.

Ahead of our event we asked Jamie to share a few thoughts.

CM Glasgow: Perspective is our theme for March. What comes to mind when you think about Perspective?

Jamie Lapsley: There’s an amazing Art Directors Guild quarterly journal called ‘Perspective’ which features breakdowns and folio’s from all the current films/shows released and it’s amazingly inspiring to see the details of other designers work.

CM: What are you motivated by? What’s your motivation? Who inspires you?

JL: I love being part of a storytelling machine - the discovery that I get to use design and colour, form, texture to illuminate characters and stories for my collaborators and the audience.

CM: What’s a typical day like for you?

JL: When in production it’s sketching out any ideas for my team, thinking about the what and how of any story element, finding time to do this thinking, and desperately trying to get all the ideas out of my head into other peoples hands who can run with them.  Then home to my partner and our delightfully needy cat and trying to decompress before racing back into the maelstrom the next day

CM: Tunnocks Tea Cakes or Caramel Wafers?

JL: Love a tea cake but (I know it’s an awful thing to say) they’re too sweet. Caramel wafer for the win

CM: Lastly, if you could describe Glasgow in one word, what would it be?

JL: Home
