Allison Brownmoore - Design Director

The Doc Makers

Show Notes

In this episode I’m talking to Design Director, VFX and Titles Designer Allison Brownmoore.

Allison’s work can be seen in films including 2023s Oscar winning Navalny, Alex Gibney's Citizen K and We are X, which we discuss in the show.

Faking it until you make it became strong theme throughout our conversation. (Or at least buy the book!)

We discuss how Allison found her feet on children’s favourite ‘In the Night Garden’

And there’s some advice in there to not waiting for so long to start doing the things and telling the stories that you love.

I’m delighted to kick off season two talking to BAFTA winning producer Lizzie Gillett.

In the final episode of season one of The Doc Makers podcast I’m talking to documentary editor Luke Flight. Luke is a close friend and co-conspirator on many a project, so this episode was originally done as favour to me and as a test run for the podcast, but I think there was too many lovely thoughts from him contained within our chat to keep to myself and he’s very graciously let me me share our conversation with you all. Luke is a BAFTA nominated editor for his work on Unforgotten: The Bradford City Fire, has been part of the Drive to Survive phenomenon with Box to Box and Netflix, and also cut projects for Amazon, Sky, ITV and Channel 4. We talk about him getting into a film and tv course because he thought it’d be easy, maybe not getting certain jobs because he doesn’t sound the right way (something I think will resonate with a few people out there) and receiving some eye-opening advice from a seasoned editor whilst first starting out, and a little warning as there might be an F-bomb somewhere in here too for all you sensitive souls!
