Scenic
Decorative elements used to create a stage set or themed environment.
Scenic elements are constructed and installed by scenic shops that employ skilled craftsmen and artisans who work in a variety of trades. Depending upon the design, scenic pieces can consist of wood frame or metal construction and can be finished with paint, fabric, plastic, fiberglass, etc. Scenery is designed and built based on the vision of the Production Designer, Art Director, or Producer.
Some scenic companies have rental scenic pieces and "stock sets" that can be installed at a fraction of the cost of a custom-built set. A hard surround is an example of a scenic element that is stocked for standard screen sizes.
