Hey everyone, now I been thinking while I was making my set design question.
https://firemansam.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000124267
I was thinking about the sets for the Fireman Sam stage shows, from 1990 to 2024.
I was thinking that, what if we had to redesign or make our own takes on the sets? Like if we were recreating one of the original Fireman Sam stage shows, or making our own Fireman Sam play, what would the sets look like?
Well, thinking of that, I took a look and notice that each Fireman Sam stage play has something of the sets that’s included in each show.
Each sets must include:
Pontypandy Fire Station (whether it’s inside or outside the station)
Other location (any that would be connected to the story)
Such as
Pontypandy high street
Sam’s house or his Inventing Shed
Bronwyn’s cafe and the key side.
(this would also include location that may only show ones or that’s important to the story)
The mines in Norman’s pit fall
The fun day ground
Pandy lane where the bonfire was lit.
Or even in the country side outside pontypandy.
(Every one off locations or main location are impossible to be sets in the show.)
Each set has to be moveable (big or small)
Now some sets would have to be moved to keep the story going.
For one example, the set from the 1990 has four locations on a big turn table.
So the turntable would turn to the location that the audience would need to see.
This example was the same with the 2007 set
When the lights when off, crew members whose move parts of the fire station set to make it into the high street set
Final example would be sets like the shop and cafe in1992/1996 along with the Tent in 1990
Sets like these would be off stage, until they are needed to be used, they would be push on to the stage, ready for the scene.
Depending on the effect
(Now some of the sets might need a little special effects to keep the story going, whether it’s smoke for a fire, bangs from a firework, flashing lights, water splay, or other things like that.)
These are just some of the ideas can think of that each set of a Fireman Sam stage show must include.
Now, if I had to do my own set for a Fireman Sam stage show, I find a way to show both the inside and outside of the location of the set.
But what about the rest of you, what would you do or include, if you was ever recreate or making a set for a Fireman Sam stage show?
