I've built several news like video sets over my years starting out when i was just a teen. I ended up mostly in radio but very much enjoyed creating these things and worked at a local TV station running their morning and midday news. The last one I built now gone was a half scale due to limits in room size octangular setting. I don't know where you got your desk, but the one I had I built. To match the set it was also half octangular, built pedestal for it to sit on. Had local glass cutter place custom cut the top layer that set over top. Background had window for large flat screen TV to mount in. Had fully functional weather center on right side, panel mounted weather instruments and video monitors through wall. Actually looked decent for working with free panel scraps and I bought the boards.
Awesome! I am pretty limited on space so we make do with what we have, but I would love a weather center. Our news desk is just an office desk I got free from the local classifieds! I would love a new one with a nice glass top. I thought about having a screen behind the desk, but we use the desk for all sorts of school things. I didn’t want to have to make graphic for everything we use it for.
@@KirkHMiller When I first built the last studio, the flat screens were very new and also very expensive. The window behind the set I started out with just blinds over them. Today everything is much cheaper. Also now greenscreen or chroma key is more accessible. I used to do an on line weather forecast for my local area. Now days I'm mostly radio. The only space I'd have to build a "weather set" or "news & weather set" would be the basement. It's not very nice down there now and also the floor above is so low. When I was a teen decades ago I fit better. And as I've already discovered many sets ago, trying to get it to as close to full scale is a must if the person sitting and working at it is a full grown adult. Having a pole barn or free garage with concrete floor and climate control is ideal.
Thank you for including your plans! I'm a high school TV Production teacher and we're in dire need of a new studio / set !!! I'm going to try this out :) I really appreciate this video!
Miller you truly inspire me so much. I’m working on something for you and this is making me emotional thinking about how you truly care about your students. Thank you for EVERYTHING
Thanks! I should break it all down... Lumber was about $200, LED Lights were about $100, the rest I found free on the classifieds or had taking up space in my garage!
You might need to alter it to fit your plans, but here's a PDF (sorry for the delay, I just found it going through old stuff!) drive.google.com/file/d/1q5M3mqruUWjK38eYMgJh5ZtAPM2oMNfz/view?usp=sharing

How long did it take to build all of that
About 4 days of planning on paper and then a week of actually building it!
Can you share the plans please?
I will dig it up... We're still using it and loving it!

Where can I find the plans for this? Did you do it yourself?
This was a wild idea that I got and built myself... I will scan the plans and post them for you!
