Another great resource from the BBC Academy - I'm trying to prepare myself for going to the BBC next week by reading up about the art department and how they work. I want to know about the different people and departments I might be working with so I'm trying to find out as much as I can.

Useful/relevant to my position:
'The art department is a very collaborative team and it's a joint effort to make sure that you are able to deliver the sets on time, so each person’s role is just as important as the next. Sometimes you will have months to prepare and other times it may be just days and weeks.'
