For me, this list is also a helpful guide for negotiations, because as a family we need a somewhat predictable financial basis and I try to earn accordingly if possible. Later, the working hours for teaching were added to this equation, which allowed me to better combine family and career. This career in teaching wasn't planned, but at some point I realized that I couldn't do a film project at the same time when my partner at the time was working. I still wanted to be able to use this interim time productively.

If 90% of the work is in female hands in the future - and it will be, if you look at the young talent, the profession will have to be designed in such a way that women can succeed in it. Then the topic of children and parenthood needs to be given more consideration. However, we as scene designers will have to create the conditions ourselves, because no one will do that for us. It must come from our demands that we can work under certain circumstances and not under certain circumstances! Job sharing is just as important as an appropriately organized team.<\/span><\/p><p class=\\\"_Fliess\\\"><span style=\\\"color: #ffa96f;\\\">A completely different field of work has developed for production design over the last thirty years. With the increasing demands on <i>production value <\/i>that comes with large series, we now have to bring a completely different skill set. The word has already gotten around among good production companies that such projects cannot be created overnight with a small team with 24 days of shooting and four weeks of preparation time.<\/span><\/p><p class=\\\"_Fliess\\\"><span style=\\\"color: #ffa96f;\\\">You, as the next generation, have to develop a certain understanding of how you can offer this required quality. NOT having children is definitely not a suitable option! No matter what profession! Scene designers also have the right to be parents. However, it is also up to you to create the conditions for this.<\/span><\/p><h1 class=\\\"_Fliess\\\"><span style=\\\"color: #ea6f5b;\\\"><span style=\\\"font-family: coupeur-reverse; font-size: 22px;\\\">SVANTJE:<\/span><\/span> <span style=\\\"color: #ea6f5b;\\\">Many young mothers who have studied production design are faced with the question of whether they should choose production design or their child. I hear that a lot. It's not very appealing to be Head of Department under the current circumstances when you have an incredible amount of responsibility and these extreme working hours, and then you have to go home from work and be completely in <i>charge there too <\/i>... in that position you take your work home with you and are responsible the whole time. I wish that women were not faced with this decision. So far I have only been able to work as a production designer for shorter projects. Longer projects can currently only be arranged in less responsible positions for the production design department.<\/span><\/h1><p class=\\\"_Fliess\\\"><span style=\\\"color: #ffa96f;\\\"><span style=\\\"font-family: coupeur-reverse; font-size: 22px;\\\">SILKE:<\/span><\/span> <span style=\\\"color: #ffa96f;\\\">As a production designer, it's actually up to me to enforce requirements that allow me to combine my child and my job. In general, it is important to have a sufficiently large team at the beginning of the negotiations. Because that means relief for me and everyone else. If I have a qualified, well-paid assistant, I can expect them to stand up for me if I have to leave early because of the child. It's not strange when she has to represent me, it's natural. It would be completely inappropriate to demand this form of responsibility from people who only receive minimum wage. For me, a budget that fits the scope of the project is also a guarantee as to whether I will be stressed or not.<\/span><\/p><p class=\\\"_Fliess\\\"><span style=\\\"color: #ffa96f;\\\">It is also important to make sure you earn enough money. In order not to get into the situation where I absolutely HAVE to do a certain job, even if I know that the conditions aren't actually right. I actually always felt quite comfortable in my position as production designer because I had the impression that I could influence these important factors. If I notice that a production company is trying to get me into trouble, for example through chaotic circumstances, late requests, etc., I have to refrain from such a project.<\/span><\/p>\",\r\n      \"align\": \"top\",\r\n      \"row\": 47,\r\n      \"col\": 5,\r\n      \"colspan\": 6,\r\n      \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n      \"offsety\": 0,\r\n      \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n      \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n      \"yvel\": 1,\r\n      \"push\": 5,\r\n      \"relid\": 115,\r\n      \"absolute_position\": false,\r\n      \"zIndex\": 50\r\n    },\r\n    {\r\n      \"type\": \"text\",\r\n      \"cont\": \"<h1 class=\\\"_Fliess\\\"><span style=\\\"color: #b493a8;\\\"><span style=\\\"font-family: coupeur-reverse; font-size: 22px;\\\">JOSEFINE<\/span>:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\\\"color: #b493a8;\\\">How did your child get along with your career?

Am I a good mother? May be, may not be. But I brought home the money for food and rent and tried to dedicate some of my time to my child. I'm only human and I've tried to do the best I can with the job I have. When it comes to film, the projects are at least limited in time. Doctors, for example, always have these extreme working hours. At least I could decide whether I would take care of my child or move on to the next job straight away.

I very consciously took time with my child on the weekends so that I could fully immerse myself in my daughter. I think it's important that my daughter realizes that she has a mother who goes to work. Who can make money. Who is independent. Who gets something like that together. And who is still at the start for them as best as possible. I am a role model. Things were different at my house. My mother was at home. I don't want to work full time my whole life to model that for my daughter. But when I'm doing such an intense job, I think it's important that she notices. During this time she also saw that there were a lot of other people around her. My child is not only focused on me as a parent, but she also has the opportunity to become emotionally attached to other people. Of course the basis has to be right.<\/span><\/h1>\",\r\n      \"align\": \"top\",\r\n      \"row\": 49,\r\n      \"col\": 5,\r\n      \"colspan\": 6,\r\n      \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n      \"offsety\": 0,\r\n      \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n      \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n      \"yvel\": 1,\r\n      \"push\": 5,\r\n      \"relid\": 119,\r\n      \"absolute_position\": false,\r\n      \"zIndex\": 52\r\n    },\r\n    {\r\n      \"type\": \"text\",\r\n      \"cont\": \"<p class=\\\"_Fliess\\\"><span style=\\\"color: #b493a8;\\\"><span style=\\\"font-family: coupeur-reverse; font-size: 22px;\\\">JOSEFINE:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\\\"color: #b493a8;\\\">I also grappled with the issue of whether I wanted children or not.
