News Sets

Network-Quality News Sets for Feature Films

When your story needs instant credibility—breaking news, a scandal reveal, election night, a live press hit, or a newsroom montage—our news sets deliver a cinematic, network-quality look without building a newsroom from scratch.

News scenes created at L.A. Castle Studios and ABQ Castle Studios have appeared in major productions including The Mummy, Greenland, Aquaman 2, Bosch, and Deadliest Catch (and more). If you need the “real broadcast” feel on camera, we’re built for it.

Designed for Film Schedules (Fast, Flexible, Controlled)

Film days move fast. Our news environments are engineered to keep you efficient:

• Instant on-camera credibility for anchors, reporters, and press segments

• Repeatable lighting and continuity for pickups and reshoots

• Controlled stage environment (no location permits, no street noise, no weather delays)

• Multiple looks in one day (national, local, sports, political)

Whether you’re shooting a single pivotal scene or building a montage sequence, we help you get premium results with fewer moving parts.

Fully Customizable Looks (National, Local, Sports, Political)

Need a different city, tone, or network style? We can quickly adapt:

• National broadcast look (polished, modern)

• Local newsroom look (smaller-market, grounded)

• Sports-style desk and graphics vibe

• Political / press style reporting (desk in or out)

• City skyline swaps and regional backdrops

We can configure desk placement, talent positions, and background elements to match your script and camera plan.

What’s Included (Turnkey + Production-Ready)

• Ready-to-shoot news desk and newsroom configurations

• Customizable background looks and city options

• Production-ready lighting and infrastructure

• On-site support spaces (green rooms, makeup, production offices, and more)
