Have you ever worked in a TV studio?
Set building is its own craft that's separate from installing video walls, which is separate from integrating them with your broadcast infrastructure, which is separate from lighting, and rigging for sound...
Add in the current requirements for social distancing meaning far fewer people working on set at the same time. We don't know what else was going on behind the scenes that caused this project to take so long. Maybe under normal circumstances they could have squeezed it into a week's parliamentary recess, but giving themselves until the end of the summer break gave them plenty of time to work with new dependencies and time for piloting, etc
No. But I was specifically referring to the video wall build. A friend of mine does event production and has told me that once things are down a person could quickly build a video wall in a day or two - one similar to MSNBC’s 3A (which removed older video walls as well) that was done in a weekend. Additionally I’ve seen floors done quickly over two days (from time lapses of set construction and that one video of Peston’s set at ITV) and speaking to set designers on the process.
It’s a bit different here: the floor was torn up and relaid with a new design. It’s not just some paint or vinyl like you would find in other studios.
Was the floor completely leveled and redone? Or did they remove the old flooring and just lay down new ones.
