Full Biography
|Keith George Wilson (19 September 1941 – 6 July 2011) was a British production designer of television and film.
Life and career
After studying theatre design at the Medway College of Art, Rochester, Wilson began his career at AP Films (later Century 21 Productions) in the early 1960s, working as an art department assistant on Fireball XL5 and subsequent Gerry Anderson productions. For the production of Joe 90 and The Secret Service, Wilson took over from Bob Bell as Century 21's art director. In the 1970s, he was an uncredited costume designer on UFO and devised sets for Space: 1999 and Star Maidens.
Not wanting to be typecast as a science fiction designer, in the late 1970s Wilson began working in other genres of feature films. He continued to work as a production designer until the 2000s. His final production design credit was The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007). He died on 6 July 2011, aged 69.
