Quote:
"In a small film like Heartbeat, a production designer becomes the whole art department, though I did work very closely with the director Andrea Dorfman, who has a strong sense of style herself. But basically we [production designers] take care of the look of the film. For example, we accentuate the characters' personalities through textures and colours. We had a theme running through Heartbeat. We started off with a blue, when the main character is fighting herself. As she finds herself she gets brighter, right up to the reds. She's becoming more herself, which is vibrant and outgoing."
