Inspired by Italy's rich cultural history, Ernie returned to Los Angeles and practiced architecture for fifteen years. During that time, he traveled extensively to study the architecture of Europe, Japan and Egypt. Seeking a creative outlet for his intimate knowledge of historical styles and his interest in exotic cultures, Ernie began designing and sketching sets for television, film and themed environments for entertainment-industry clients such as Walt Disney Imagineering. Currently, Ernie teaches design and perspective sketching to the Production Design Fellows at the American Film Institute and regularly teaches public classes on a variety of art and design-related subjects. JEFFERSON SAGE grew up in Reno, NV, one of several sons of the local dermatologist and his wife. He earned a degree in theatre arts from the College of William & Mary before moving to New York City to pursue a graduate degree in theater design and Art Direction at NYU's School of the Arts. Out of school, he worked as a draftsman, model builder and Scenic Artist in a variety of venues, from theater and opera to commercials and industrials. Mr. Sage eventually found work as the Art Director on a few feature films—Donnie Brasco, Analyze This, Mississippi Masala and Bed of Roses, among others. He and his family moved to Los Angeles in 1999, where he designed television series such as Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared and The Bernie Mac Show, and feature films which include Bridesmaids, Paul, This Is 40 and Spy. He lives with his wife Tina and daughter Livia in the Valley Village neighborhood of Los Angeles, and is passionate about traveling, painting in watercolor and bluegrass music. After receiving a degree in architecture from the University of Notre Dame, NORM NEWBERRY began his motion picture career as a Set Designer at Universal Studios in one of the last of the large studio system Art Departments. After a stint as an officer in the Navy's Seabees, he rejoined Universal as an Art Director, designing many television series and dozens of features and becoming expert at design related to traditional visual effects. During a slow period in film work, Norm found a home at Universal Creative and spent fourteen years as Executive Art Director and Design Director for all of Universal's Studio Theme Parks and backlot set streets. In the last ten years of his career, Norm reinvented himself again as a motion-capture Art Director, embracing the new digital technology. He served on the Board of the Art Directors Guild for over twenty years and was President of the Guild for two terms. He is a 35-year member of the Motion Picture Academy and lives in Toluca Lake, CA, with his wife Carolyn.
