Big items such as chairs, sofas etc went on open, flat, two sided trailers to store. These were parked up in the ground floor of Design Building and locked. They were towed to studio by a sort of small fork lift style truck.<\/p>\n<p>This crew was often in late night. Night setting started by removing (Striking out) the previous days recording set.<\/p>\n<p>Strike-out started at 10.00pm.( except for over-runs). When Tec (cameras) were away; there might be a floor wash to remove any painted floor, then a light rig, then the dry floor re-painted if required.<\/p>\n<p>Dressing crew then came in overnight or very early am. They may not have seen the set before (a Designer might not be there yet), so they needed the Reset\/ Dressing photos (that you now have) to put series items out, for the Design crew to finish arranging when they got in.<\/p>\n<p>So with 8 studios running 365 days it was a very complex logistic operation.<\/p>\n<p>Regards, Alison<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/trotter-flat\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" src=\"\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>The Trotters flat layout, so this subject has long been discussed ever since I drew a layout 10 years ago &#8211; see Nelson Mandela House Layout I know a lot of you are interested in costumes and props so you may find this interesting We recently made contact with an art director from the late [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[22,53,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-behind-the-scenes","category-featured","category-only-fools-and-horses"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
