Late Night Talk Show

3D model using Autocad

This set is made of two sections; an area A where up to 6 guests join a presenter to discuss the weeks topics and an area B where a second presenter is located for handoffs and media displays.

The 6+2 set is designed for Studio 5 at RTE, Donnybrook.

I used the bell tower at Trinity College, Dublin as inspiration for the architecture of the set

Final Rendering

I refined the design by turning the pillars into smaller LED panels that surround the area A platform and lowered the canopy to the ground to create a better sense of space. I removed the wall behind area A and joined it to the textured wall behind area b. However this meant the entrance would be stage left rather than centre. I chose chairs instead of couches as they looked like statue plinths for the guests to debate and discuss topics from.
