High Level Signage with the regal touch!
Needing a dependable supplier with the capability to undertake the project of supplying and installing high level advertising signage, Elstree Studios in Borehamwood turned to Signs Express Harlow to provide the solution to promote Netflix's series 2 of 'The Crown' currently being filmed.
Signs Express recommended using a flex-face system allowing the Studios to replace the interior skin whilst keeping the frame intact when any future need arises to promote a new film, series or commercial. The sign itself needed to be 8 metres x 6 metres and specifically positioned on the wall of Studio 9, high enough to be seen from the neighbouring Tesco car park creating maximum impact. IPAF certificated and experienced in installations of this nature, a four man installation crew from Signs Express Harlow completed the fit. Working simultaneously from 2 mobile access platforms they first fixed the frame, piece by piece in its precise location, then securing the printed skin into place with specialist fixings. Following the enormous success of the first series of The Crown, Netflix are currently filming series 2 at Elstree Studios, where the drama continues following the political rivalry and romance of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and the events that shaped the second half of the 20th century. Elstree Studios over its 90 years' history has firmly established itself as the number one Film and Television Studio in London. Located 20 minutes from the heart of the city, the studios are home to some of the top shows on British TV today such as Strictly Come Dancing, Big Brother, The Voice, Celebrity Juice and The Chase to name a few. Known as the birthplace of Star Wars, some of the most famous films in the world have been produced at Elstree Studios; the Indiana Jones and Star Wars trilogies, Superman and The Shining as examples. More recently The Danish Girl, Suffragettes, The King's Speech, Sherlock Holmes and Paddington Bear have found their home at Elstree.
