Set Design and Fabrication Pricing
Fifteenhundred offers affordable scenic design solutions for budgets large and small.
General estimates
While every project is different, a basic news set with anchor area, standup area and weather center generally costs a minimum of $20,000*. Simple anchor-area only sets can start at $10,000*.
Fifteenhundred can also produce inexpensive solutions suited for small cable channels, schools and live events for as little as $5,000*.
These prices don’t include any on-set technology such as computers, flat panel monitors or rear projection screens — these can add anywhere from a few thousand dollars to $50,000 or more. Fifteenhundred can, however, often offer you with special pricing on electronics or find creative ways to finance such technology — ask for more details.
