Fabric Building Leases for Movie and TV Sets

On a movie or television set for filming, any item an actor interacts with is considered a prop. From Indiana Jones’ whip to a Jedi’s lightsaber, or even Monty Python’s cardboard castle and ‘horses,’ all these props need creative design and secure storage during production..

Every prop in any given movie needs to be believable to the audience. If it doesn’t look the part, the whole scene may break the experience for viewers.

In older movies, this wasn’t so significant, but with Hi-Res, Blu-Ray, and now 4k televisions, even barcodes can be made out on screen.

This means that it is a far greater challenge to recreate a facsimile of the real thing, and the smallest mistake will likely be noticed and called out.

Alaska Structures For Production Companies

When TriStar Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Disney, or other production studios are looking to film, it often makes more sense to rent or lease props than to spend the money to buy or build them.

Alaska Structures creates engineered fabric structures used extensively by research organizations, military forces, guide outfitters, and adventure companies operating around the world.

So, when a movie or television producer requests a scene with a fabric building or remote camp system used by actual organizations, governments, or businesses, they choose Alaska Structures.

Alaska Structures offers movie and television production companies options to purchase or lease fabric buildings on and off-screen.

Movie Appearances By Alaska Structures

Movie productions that feature Alaska Structures’ fabric buildings include:

12 STRONG-THE DECLASSIFIED TRUE STORY OF THE HORSE SOLDIERS

“12 Strong – The Declassified True Story of the Horse Soldiers” premiered in 2018. Alaska Structures is the leading supplier of military shelter systems used by the Department of Defense (DOD) and allied forces in the Middle East.

For the creation of “12 Strong”, leasing the actual military shelter systems used by the soldiers the story is based on. It helps tell the story more accurately while drawing the audience into a realistic setting.

“12 Strong” is the most recent full-length motion picture that features Alaska Structures.
