FILLING STATION
This set was built from the ground up on an abandoned airstrip. The structure was fully engineered for wind loads, with additional flex space incorporated to accommodate video village and production needs.
We also paved approximately 1,200 metres of real asphalt and completed the roadway with painted line markings, helping the entire environment feel fully integrated and authentic.

One of the biggest challenges with this set was making sure we had enough product to make the space feel believable. We had the Set Decoration team set up the shelving in the lockup first, allowing us to mock up the product quantities and layout before anything was installed on location. This saved valuable time and ensured we had enough coverage before committing to the final setup.
There was also a specific sequence involving a cast member interacting with product on the shelves, so we mapped out that section in advance and were able to rehearse the action before the final installation.
