DESIGN CHALLENGE
You know those widely popular Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) shows that fill the airwaves? We’ve worked with those people—NCIS: New Orleans to be exact. Impressed? We’re huge fans, so we are too.
For those who don’t know, this TV show skillfully combines elements of police and military dramas of the past and hit the air in the fall of 2014. We love that show showcases the lovely city of New Orleans. When we got the chance to work with them we jumped at the chance to put our exhibit design skills right into showbiz set design.
The setting: a trade show.
The stars: 3 custom trade show exhibits that were designed to be visible and set the tone for the episode, plus be set up on a moveable platform.
The catch: it was a one-day build and a one-day teardown.
DESIGN SOLUTION
The plot thickens: Since we were dealing with the television industry (a whole new market set), there was some unpredictability, but we eat unpredictability for breakfast…well, actually, breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. One of the things we used to help cut to the chase was that we showed the production team examples of our past rental exhibits. They liked what they saw, and picked out a design they liked that they felt would capture their needs.
The payoff: this wasn’t your ordinary trade show, this was a movie set design that had to be built on a rolling platform to quickly change scenes for filming. Time was of the essence in the TV industry; you have to work fast and furious to create the magic. This was our first time working with a production crew on a two shoot, working around NCIS tight schedule. The finale: Our design appeared at the top of the show and didn’t wind up on the cutting room floor. That’s a wrap!
