From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A leadman is an art department member who is responsible for the swing gang and/or the set dressers on a film set. The swing gang does the set construction and demolition. Set dressers keep the set in the proper condition by placing and moving elements and props as needed for the story, continuity and to make room for the filming equipment. The leadman takes directions from the set decorator.
