Creating the World of Wednesday with Production Designer, Mark Scruton

In this episode of The Costume House with Spencer Williams, we return to the gothic halls of Nevermore Academy for a conversation with production designer Mark Scruton, the creative force behind the world of Wednesday.

Spencer and Mark dive into the making of one of the season's most spectacular sequences: the Venetian Masquerade, including the extraordinary process of building a real canal and gondola so that Hester Frump could make her grand entrance in suitably spectacular fashion.

They also discuss collaborating with legendary director Tim Burton, moving production from Romania to Dublin, and the challenges and opportunities that came with expanding the visual world of Wednesday.

From gothic architecture and elaborate sets to the smallest details that shape a character's world, this conversation explores why production design is far more than simply creating a backdrop.
