Keep the sawdust where it belongs: off the stage and away from rented
locations.
Some scenery and
props jobs are too small to be efficient using a full-time, full-size scenic
studio. Facility overhead and management costs add both time and expense. The
alternative of packaging your own crew and building onstage or at your location
involves yet another set of trade-offs:
Perhaps the rate of a build day is expensive, or the stage not available
-- or the location just isn't accommodating to the sound of saws or clouds of
sawdust......
A small shop space
gives a producer or production manager an intermediate choice.
Using a small rental
shop, a build can take place with moderate cost, easy layout, handy tools, and the
built units can be easily trucked to camera.
Arriving at the shooting site with pre-built
units, even as ready-to-assemble kits, always simplifies setup and makes for a much
shorter and more productive day.
