Set Construction Course
Considering a career in the movie business? Are you handy with a hammer? Maybe set construction is the new career you’ve been looking for.
One of the most important positions on a film production is set construction. Creating a unique environment that “sells” the scene can make or break a movie.
Lifton Institute for Media Skills is seeking students for our first set construction class beginning October 26th. In this course students learn the craft of set construction, a process by which a Production Designer works in collaboration with the Director to create the set for a film or television production. Course includes hands-on instruction in standard operating procedure in the set department, vocabulary and crew positions (Production Designer, Head Carpenter, Key Scenic, Greens Man, Set Painter, etc.) Students will learn the unique way of building sets for production including safety aspects, color schemes, building techniques and moving of sets. A comparison to standard construction and how it differs from set construction will be studied as well. Must be able to lift a minimum of 50 lbs. and have extensive building experience. Course includes up to 6 weeks of hands-on video and/or film projects.
