Set Design: Behind The Scenes Of Your Favorite Tv Shows

How you ever been so immersed in your favorite TV shows that you actually thought you were part of the scene? Yes, a huge part of that is due to the set design. Production and set designers make it a point to create sets that draw audiences in.

Take for example HBO’s mega-hit, “Game of Thrones.” If we were to depict the interiors of the houses and castles accurately, it wouldn’t be as appealing. There would be very little to no lighting and viewers would barely see the medieval fixtures. But somehow, set designers have managed to create interiors that have natural light as well as interior lighting to illuminate a great deal of a room or chamber, so much so, that we can see things clearly even if the setting is in the evening. 

Sitcoms such as “Friends” and “The Big Bang Theory” on the other hand, have sets that are designed to make viewers feel like part of the group. The living rooms and bedrooms are cozier and more spacious than how ordinary apartments in real-world locations would be. And check out their blocking in the scenes; they more often than not leave a space unoccupied, which helps audiences imagine they were there with their favorite characters.

What’s Next In The Kawhi Leonard-San Antonio Spurs Saga?

The drama surrounding the injury of Spurs’ superstar Kawhi Leonard has dragged on for months.  Many NBA aficionados have made a big deal of this and for a good reason; Leonard is seen as the third- if not second-best player in the league outside LeBron.  Recently, things have reached a fever pitch with Leonard’s unsolicited statement that he wants to be traded to Los Angeles. 

This is a truly huge development in the league, as many people are already sold on the idea that LeBron James is leaving the Cavaliers for the Lakers.  A tandem of the two will constitute a new powerhouse team in the West.  Of course, San Antonio is keen on not letting this happen; coach Gregg Popovich even arranged a meeting with Kawhi to iron things out.

However, by all indications, Kawhi is not letting anyone change his mind.  Many believe that Lakers’ Magic Johnson is now working behind the scenes to consummate the trade.  Even if the deal would involve trading their young talents Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, or even the revelation that is Kyle Kuzma, having LeBron and Kawhi together is totally worth it, possibly even making the Lakers the new favorites next season over the dynasty team in Golden State.

Other viable places Kawhi can go with good salary cap space are Boston and Philadelphia. Both these teams will likely give up key players, too, for a chance to acquire Kawhi.   Wherever he does end up and assuming the Spurs cannot ultimately keep him, Leonard’s decision will change the face of the league in almost the same way as that of LeBron.
