“With big spectacles I’ve designed, like ‘Avatar,’ it’s hard to ignore the production design because you know it’s not real,” he says. “ ‘Fabelmans’ is the opposite: The work was designed to not be seen. If you notice production design too much, it takes you out of the movie.”buzz. Carter says Spielberg’s autobiographical film is in three acts: It begins in New Jersey in wintertime; then moves to Arizona and summer heat; then autumn in Northern California.
Carter and his team had a balancing act: to depict homes that Spielberg lived in, but not in a literal re-creation. “The key was how to make a set that he would feel at home in. It wasn’t 100% accurate; we had to extrapolate details of three houses and three major points in his life.” Carter is willing to talk about his work, but he prefers talking about Spielberg, O’Hara and his co-workers.
