content: Episode 300 of the Revision Path podcast. It consists of an interview between Hannah Beachler and host Maurice Cherry. It opens with a brief discussion about the role and importance of production design in filmmaking, before segueing into a conversation on the difference between doing a production design for Black Panther and for Moonlight. At one point, Cherry asks if accessibility is considered in the design process, citing colorblind audiences as an example. Beachler admits that she has not thought deeply about accessibility in the past but will try to think more about it in the future. She describes the “Black Panther look-book,” noting that the team visited cities in Korea, South Africa and Oakland, California, while doing production research.
