STAFF SHOP/ SCENERY
Arête began as a staff shop and that side of the business is still one of our first loves. In our North Hollywood facility we have complete wood, metal, and soft good fabrication areas as well as a fully-equipped scenic painting area.
Additionally, we have small machine shop capabilities with lathes, vertical knee-mills, plasma cutters and more.
We count ourselves very fortunate to have a team of incredible artisans ready to sculpt, fiberglass, weld, or sew anything you can imagine.
We build, truck, install, and strike sets of any size and for any budget - please give us a call or send us your drawings and we’ll get your quote started as soon as possible.
PROPS:
Many challenge shows require a very specific type of props department. Some gameshows might require 75 of the exact same prop that must behave exactly the same for multiple contestants over the run of a season! Our props department is one of the best in the business with years of experience fabricating games and game elements for shows like Double Dare or Knife or Death. You’ll be hard pressed to find a more seasoned, fun group to play with.
EQUIPMENT:
In-house at Arête we have a 4’x8’ CNC for fast fabrication, 3D printer for rapid prototyping and props, Graco Reactor Polyurea sprayer for hard and soft coating surfaces, and more!
