Set Design 101

How we bring events to life

A quick guide for producers, creatives, and brand teams

What Makes a Great Scenic Design

  • Installs Fast
    Time is tight—our sets go up without chaos.

  • Looks Great on Camera
    Clean lines, no glare, and perfect framing.

  • Rock Solid
    Confidence onstage.

  • Built to Flex. Add a panel, swap a color or graphic

  • It Respects Your Budget

  • Smart design saves money without cutting corners.

Speaking Scenic

  • Flat – A thin scenic wall—painted or wrapped in print.

  • Deck – A raised platform for people or products.

  • Header – A top panel above the stage, often branded.

  • Soft Goods – Fabric elements like curtains and drapes.

  • Masking – Black fabric or panels to hide backstage or tech.

  • SEG Frame – Fabric graphic stretched in a thin, seamless frame.

  • Modular – Designed to break down and install fast.

  • Tech Booth – Where the AV team runs sound, lights, and visuals.

  • Hard Wall – A solid structure (usually wood or PVC), not fabric.

  • Load-In – The setup period before the show.

  • Load-Out – The strike and pack-up phase after it ends.

  • Scenic Treatment – Paint, texture, or wrap that gives a set its look.

  • Rigging Point – A spot in the ceiling for hanging things safely.

  • Turnkey – We handle everything—design, build, install.

  • Truck Pack – How we efficiently fit everything into the truck.
