He operated a spotlight at the Woodstock festival in 1969, and was Pink Floyd's lighting designer during two world tours. In 1975, he settled in London, completed a bachelor of architecture degree at the Polytechnic of Central London and later, an MA from the Royal College of Art. He first entered the film industry as an assistant to Stuart Craig on Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, and designed television commercials for Ridley Scott and David Fincher, going on to collaborate on feature films with them both. He has been nominated twice for Academy Awards ® (Gladiator and American Gangster) and six times for the ADG Award. He is currently working on Alien: Paradise Lost, his twelfth film for Ridley Scott. Art Director MILES K. MICHAEL was born in Detroit and grew up in nearby Royal Oak, MI. After high school, he joined the US Air Force to travel and work with aircraft. Tech school in Texas and maintaining nuclear bombers in North Dakota don't seem like training for the film industry, but he moved to Brooklyn in 2001 and immediately began working in film and television Art Departments. Seasons on series such as The Apprentice, Ink Master, HGTV Design Star and 24 Hour Restaurant Battle, all with Production Designer Chris Potter, honed his skills. He tried a stint in Los Angeles, along with many cross-country motorcycle trips, and now splits his time between New York and Detroit where he has a shop. He loves the Motor City best, but is always willing to leave for a few months on the next exotic location—like Ghana where he was the Art Director on Beasts of No Nation.
