any of you here watch the new mr and mrs smith on prime? loved that beautiful brownstone (and all the other houses), but learned this morning that the interior of that house were just stage build outs and not 'real'!

Hey! Ex Star Trek set designer here. 🙋‍♀️ *most* interiors you see (and a lot of exteriors) on big tv shows and movies are built on a sound stage.

You also have the benefit of “wilding” walls (being able to remove a wall(s) so that you can set up a camera for a particular shot or allow for easier crew access). It’s so much easier than shooting on location. But stage sets often mimic / reproduce real locations.

There are a lot of benefits to stage sets, but a big plus is lighting control. “IRL” you have to film a scene quickly or else the changing light will look strange (if there’s sun streaming in for the first half of a scene but then a sunset or darkness for the second half of the scene, it breaks the continuity).
