Lynn Snedden is a Canadian art department professional who served as art department coordinator on the Re-imagined Battlestar Galactica from 2004 to 2009.[external 1] Based in the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia, she built a career spanning two decades in the film and television art department before transitioning into event production, where she currently works as production coordinator at Reveal Events Group.[external 2]
Career
editSnedden holds a Bachelor of Arts from both McMaster University and the University of Waterloo, alongside a Silkscreen/Photography credential from Emily Carr University of Art and Design and a Fine Arts Foundation Certificate from Kwantlen Polytechnic University.[external 3] She also holds a Certified Associate of Project Management (CAPM) designation from the Project Management Institute.[external 4] Earlier in her career she worked in research support and administration, including positions at Children's & Women's Health Centre and CanChild, as well as administrative roles at the University of British Columbia.[external 5]
Her film and television career is rooted in art department work on large-scale productions shot in British Columbia. Following her five-season run on Battlestar Galactica, she served as art department coordinator on Tron: Legacy (2010), the Walt Disney Pictures sequel directed by Joseph Kosinski.[external 6] She later filled the same role on the 2017 family drama Wonder, directed by Stephen Chbosky and based on the novel by R.J. Palacio.[external 7]
By the mid-2010s Snedden had moved into the role of assistant art director. She worked in that capacity on the revival seasons of The X-Files, including the six-episode tenth season (2016)[external 8] and the ten-episode eleventh season (2018), both produced in Vancouver.[external 9] She continued as assistant art director on the Syfy science fiction comedy series Resident Alien, also shot in British Columbia, beginning with its 2021 premiere season.[external 10] After two decades in film and television, she transitioned into the live events industry, joining Reveal Events Group — an award-winning event production company based in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia — as production coordinator.[external 2]
Battlestar Galactica
editSnedden worked on the Re-imagined Series across all four of its broadcast seasons, accumulating credits on 69 episodes between 2004 and 2009.[external 1] In the art department, a coordinator occupies a central administrative and logistical role: managing budgets, tracking purchases and rentals, maintaining communication between the production designer and outside vendors, and ensuring the department's scheduling runs alongside the shoot. On a production of Battlestar Galactica's scale — with its distinctive blended military-industrial aesthetic developed by production designer Richard Hudolin — the coordinator position required sustained involvement through the full arc of the series.
Her episodic credits span the run of the show, including Season 4 episodes such as "He That Believeth in Me",[production 1] "Sometimes a Great Notion",[production 2] and "Deadlock".[production 3]
Many Snedden "Easter eggs" are included in various props, from authoring in-universe books such as The River Runs Red to wall paint from the Snedden Lyntt Collection, and even earlier with a donor credit on the donor's plaque briefly seen in the Delphi Museum of the Colonies.
Caprica
editWhile her work on Caprica was solely for the Caprica pilot, produced during Season 4 of the Re-imagined Series, she was uncredited for her role as art department coordinator. As with the Re-imagined Series, her name appears on a spiritual book entitled The New Spirit, a copy of which had been owned by Zoe Graystone.
