IMDb profile

Lynn Snedden is a Canadian art department professional who served as art department coordinator on the Re-imagined Battlestar Galactica from 2004 to 2009. 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.

Career

Snedden 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. She also holds a Certified Associate of Project Management (CAPM) designation from the Project Management Institute. 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.

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. 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.

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) and the ten-episode eleventh season (2018), both produced in Vancouver. 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. 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.

Battlestar Galactica

Snedden worked on the Re-imagined Series across all four of its broadcast seasons, accumulating credits on 69 episodes between 2004 and 2009. 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", "Sometimes a Great Notion", and "Deadlock".

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

While 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.
