Sustainability in TV and Film Set Construction
Sustainability is widely discussed across the TV and film industry, but the real impact often comes from practical decisions made early in production. Our latest blog looks at where those decisions actually happen and how art departments, designers, and construction teams can reduce environmental impact through planning, reuse, and smarter material choices. Drawing on examples shared through the British Film Designers Guild’s Planet Positive Award and wider industry discussions, the article explores how early conversations about design, logistics, and build strategy can significantly reduce waste and unnecessary construction. It also looks at the growing role of reuse networks, prop hire, salvage organisations, and recycling routes that help materials find a second life beyond a single production.
At Totom, we support this approach by working closely with designers and productions to plan builds carefully, reuse materials where possible, and design sets that can be dismantled and redirected into reuse or recycling streams once filming ends.

How the Man vs Baby Penthouse Set Was Built
At first glance, the luxury penthouse in Man Vs Baby looks like a real London apartment. In reality, the entire environment was constructed inside a studio, combining carpentry, scenic artistry, and clever material choices to create a believable high-end interior on screen.Our latest blog explores how the set was built, from the sweeping staircase and double-height living room to the marble finishes, gold detailing and scenic techniques used throughout the apartment. The design was developed by Production Designer Stéphane Collonge and constructed by the Totom team to create a space that felt architectural, warm and authentic for the Christmas storyline.
The article looks at how practical construction decisions and scenic finishes combine to create convincing on-screen environments, even when the materials behind the scenes are very different from what the camera suggests.

Key Organisations Supporting the Film and TV Art Department
The Art Department doesn’t work in isolation. Across the industry there are organisations, networks, and events that help designers and technicians stay connected, develop their skills, and share knowledge. Our latest blog highlights several of the key groups supporting the production design community. The article looks at organisations such as the Production Designers Collective, the British Film Designers Guild, the Royal Television Society, and the Production Design Research and Education Network. Each contributes in different ways, from training and mentoring to research, events, and professional advocacy.
We also highlight industry gatherings such as Focus London and the Media Production & Technology Show, which provide opportunities to learn about new technologies, meet collaborators, and stay connected with developments across film and television production.

Virtual Production in Film and TV: How the Art Department Uses LED Screens and Set Construction
Virtual Production is becoming an important tool for the art department, working alongside traditional set construction to create convincing on-screen environments. Our latest blog explores how technologies like LED screens and Unreal Engine are being used on film and television productions, and where physical builds are still essential.Using examples from productions such as the Hijack studio set construction, the Cleaner film set construction, and the Haunting of the Queen Mary film sets, the article shows how constructed sets and digital environments can work together. In many cases the physical set provides the structure actors interact with, while Virtual Production screens extend the environment beyond the walls of the stage.
