Diversifying And Personalizing Your Modular Set Design

                                                                                         

The modular approach to set design has opened up a new world of possibilities for broadcast entities ranging from local networks and cable and public television stations to schools, government and military installations, corporations, and more. As a pioneer of modular set design and construction, Uni-set Corporation offers our current users not only a variety of total system packages and news settings for every size studio, but also a number of great modular products with which to enhance each modular staging system. By incorporating such enhancements into an individual set design, the ultimate goal of establishing "program identity" is served.

Users Uniset's full-size modular products including geometric shapes that stack for walls, risers,and steps, triangular risers for multi-level sets, talent tables, pre-finished walls that match talent tables, modular cyclorama modules for green/blue walls, corners, ground row, and floors, and more. While these products form the core of any set, they are just the beginning in terms of personalizing each set and establishing an identity.

One product that does just that is Chroma Key. And while you may not be familiar with the name, chances are you've seen it in action time and time again. Chroma key is a technique whereby there are two images or frames, and one is removed or made transparent, revealing another image behind it. This technique is commonly used in TV news for weather forecasts where the weatherman appears to be standing in front of a map. In fact it's a blue screen and not a map at all.

Lighting plays a key role in the look and feel of any set, and lighting professionals know that any tone and/or mood can be established in mere moments through the use of soft color lighting gels. Stick on and peel off vinyl lettering and graphics also provide an easy and fun way to enhance a set while establishing name or brand recognition for a program or product. Simple touches such as these can go a long way in bringing a singular quality to your set.

Limited budgets, studio space, and staff no longer have to be an impediment to producing quality programming. Discover the endless variety of modular set designs available to you. In the process learn how set designing via modular pieces can create video content that draws in viewers by virtue of its unique identity.
