I saw the BBC TVC post and realised we’ve never really posted about our own little side project.
We have been working on some of our own Minecraft TV studio replicas. Primarily as a way of documenting these buildings before they are changed (or worse!).
We have put a lot of research into these fairly undocumented buildings, tracking down floor plans, architectural books, internal images, looking at aerial and street view and watching tv footage. Unfortunate demolition pictures have also helped us greatly.
Getting the proportions right with the limitations of Minecraft has been tricky, and this led us to create buildings with quite a large scale to help with the details. We didn't place these block by block - we laid out the floor plans and then built them up with various plugins.
Each studio has desk controlled lights from production galleries. You can control house lights and various banks of scenic lighting rigs all with separate switches.
