Is there any difficulty in translating something the Art Department has drawn into what your department actually builds? Where does their work end and your work begin?

Obviously on something like Star Wars it's a huge collaboration with Doug Chiang and the concept team back at the Ranch. Over the two films, we've made that work very smoothly.
It's been fairly straightforward right from the start, and there's a slight separation in what they provide there and what we take and use here on set.
I think looking back on the first film, we sort of felt that 30% of the environments were maybe created purely by our side: the Art Department in the UK. Another 30% was mainly things that we'd interpret directly from the concept group's work. Then the other 40% was sort of a complete mixture between the two of us passing things back and forth.
