From the script into physical space.
Set Construction
Physical sets, from structural build to surface finish.
Structure
Timber framework
The internal framework defines the shape of the set. Curves, ribs and bracing become the basis for the visible surface.
Surface
Timber cladding
Timber cladding brings the structure into view. The surface translates the underlying framework into scenic form.
Texture
Surface treatment and finish
The close view reveals grain, tonal variation and surface treatment — the details that give the set its character on camera.
Metalwork / Structure & fabrication
Precision behind the surface
Steel frameworks, fabricated panels and components: a closer look at the physical construction behind the scenic finish.
Sculptural work / Fibreglass & scenic finish
Material acquires character
From a shaped surface to a finished prop, the detail needs to hold up to the camera.
Integrated scenic fabrication
