interior sets on TV shows – where do they come from???

588 views

I’m thinking of shows like Law and Order or Mad Men, single camera shows with up to 15 different interior sets in a single episode, many unique from episode to episode, how does this work? Is there a library of seedy new York apartments just sitting around waiting to be used, like an ikea showroom? Are they fully set up and torn down each time, or are they left set up so different shows can use them? Do the walls come apart like a theatre set?

Thanks for any insider info!

They usually are in large buildings that look like warehouses. The sets are built and taken apart by professionals who are experts in lighting, object placement, interior design etc…then through camera work and editing, a tv show or film is made to look more natural.
