TF2 Production Designer Hired

The writers strike may be going on but appears that pre-production on Transformers 2 continues with the hiring of Nigel Phelps as production designer. He previousily worked with Bay on The Island and Pearl Harbor. No clue what that title is so a quick lookup on Wikipedia says production designer "refer to the person responsible for the overall look of a filmed event such as films, TV programs, music videos or adverts. Production Designers have one of the key creative roles in the creation of motion pictures and television. Working directly with the director and producer, they must select the settings and style to visually tell the story."
