By Camila Zagarzazu

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – Creativity in film and television begins behind the camera. Audiences appreciate actors and action, but the look of the world in which they exist, the environment in which it all takes place, the visual beauty or horror seen on the screen, and the emanating sounds that range from whispers to explosions to enrapturing music all flow from the work of the talented crew, craftspeople and artists hard at work behind the scenes. These are the people profiled in this report: our annual Artisans Elite that highlights the individuals whose work has stood out the most over the past 12 months.
