This week Alex & Ryan conclude their talk with production designer Paul Rice, in the second episode of a two-part series where they discuss some of his favorite design work in film.
Paul Rice is a multi talented and multi dimensional artist, designer, fabricator, and performer. Paul began his art career early, working at his father's parade float factory and attending an art magnet high school in Memphis, TN. He won a full scholarship to Pratt Institute in New York. He graduated from Pratt with a fine arts degree in painting. After graduation, Paul continued by showing his paintings in galleries in New York as well as conceptualizing and completing unique art installations, such as his water project, 'Reservoir'. Paul's talent for painting and sculpture, as well as his vivid imagination and excellent design aesthetic, eventually led him into the theater and movie industry. There he has worked in several capacities; from sculpting on projects of all sizes (miniatures to epic proportions), to design and fabrication of complex machinery and puppets, to performing and puppeteering (who knows the puppet better than the creator?), and eventually to art direction and production design. His credits include music video collaborations with artists like Beyoncé and the Arctic Monkeys, Julie Taymor's 2007 film Across the Universe, Darren Aronofsky's 2014 film Noah, and critically-acclaimed TV series like FX's Reservation Dogs and Amazon Prime's The Tick.
