This was the look for two of our summer series in 2011. I wanted some color and texture but it had to be on a tight budget. So, wandering around Lowe's Home Improvement the final result was to use ceiling grid light panels, tar paper, extruded attic venting plastic and gaff tape to create the set. As with most of our sets the key element is distance and lighting. 20' away, well lit, most sets can look passable.
The columns are 2"X 6" wrapped in tar paper, the column of color is American DJ Par64LED's with some Mega Bar 50s in the mix behind the "unbreakable" light panel lenses for drop in ceiling florescent light fixtures. The industrial faux gridwork is the attic venting plastic cut to overlap symmetrically.
From a distance it looks great and the color really popped. For the money it was a really cheap set that looked good. For the "Summer of Love" series I threw in a disco ball and hit it with some Vizi Beams.
