What’s it like to be a Set Production Worker?
Set production workers produce sets for films, plays, concerts or other
entertainment productions.
Set production workers work in conjunction with a technical director and a
scenery workshop leading hand or supervisor. They may have to work at heights
and observe health and safety standards when working on big sets. They may be
involved in a variety of production areas or specialise as set makers or
scenic artists. More experienced set production workers often work interstate
or overseas on the installation and venue-to-venue transfer of major
productions.
Set production workers can work indoors or outdoors. They may have to work
irregular hours or long shifts depending on the type of set they are working
on. For example, they might have to work at night or early in the morning to
install and dismantle sets prior to and after production. For productions such
as film sets, they may have to stay on the location of the set for extended
periods of time.
