Art department, props and set building in Egypt
Egypt can stand in for much of the Middle East and North Africa, and the right art department makes it convincing. We design, build and dress sets, source props and handle graphics and signage.
What our art department does
Production design, construction and carpentry, scenic painting, set dressing, props buying and hire, action and picture vehicles, signage and graphics in Arabic and English, and greens.
Egypt as another country
Old Cairo, Alexandria and the desert regularly double for other cities and countries. With the right signage, vehicles and dressing we can turn a Cairo street into almost anywhere in the region.
Props and costumes together
Props, wardrobe and makeup share references and continuity so the world on screen holds together.
