Brian is one of the designers we have happily worked with again and again. Brian gave us the conceptual drawings and we constructed the sets. #testimonialtuesday #feedback #reviews #review #testimonial #briansykes #outofhermind #sarapascoe #setdesign #totom

How do you feel about concrete? Do you love it (like our operations manager!) or do you just see grey stone? We built a section of a highrise for the opening sequence for #GangsofLondon #fridayfinishes #concrete ​​#setdesign #totom

The majority of this movie was filmed on location, but we were lucky enough to work with Production Designer ​#CristinaCasali​ on the scenes in the trenches. Doesn't it look striking as the sun sets 🥰 #oxfordmurders #ElijahWood​ #JohnHurt #trenches #ww1 #setdesign #totom

Anyone remember watching this? #HotchPotchHouse with Raggs, Shelley, Woolie and Nana. #ProductionDesigner #DavidBevin sent us these photos and I just had to share them, they make me nostalgic for my childhood ❤ #CBBC #90s #retro #throwbackthursday​ #setdesign #totom

A top-secret process to produce this beautiful crackle effect ❤ Just another example of the skill of our painters here at Totom. #fridayfinishes #FabulousFriday #crackle #painters #painteffects #paintfinishes ​#setdesign #totom

Something to brighten up your Monday morning 💗 Paloma Faith in some lovely Agent Provocateur underwear. We made the set for this commercial shoot. #AgentProvocateur #PalomaFaith #lingerie #pink #commercial #advert​ #setdesign #setproduction #setdesigner #productiondesign #totom

#RussellDeRozario​ was the production designer on #Jolt, an #Amazon #film. He was great to work with, and we're proud of the sets we created for it. #KateBeckinsale #StanleyTucci #BobbyCannavale #SusanSarandon#testimonialtuesday #behindthescenes #makingthemagic #setdesign #totom

Let's finish the week with this fabulous bit of wood panelling, finished to look old and distressed. #fridayfinishes #FabulousFriday #woodpanel #distressedwood #paintfinish ​#setdesign #totom

One of our coolest projects has to be the structure we made for Paul Smith. He wanted to demonstrate his new suit, one you can cycle in, so we built him this structure. #paulsmith #cycling #stunts #bikestunts #travelsuit #scaffolding #launchparty #setdesign #totom

It's official, Totom are Award Winners 🏆 We won the award for Best Manufacturer, and are very proud of our achievement. Thank you BizX for a fabulous evening on Friday. #awardwinning #awardceremony #bizxaward #BestManufacturer #trophy #awardwinning #awardwinner​#setdesign #totom

Once again I'm amazed by the talent in our paint shop, would you believe this is a sheet of plywood with some paint on it? #fridayfinishes #FabulousFriday #painters #painteffects #paintfinishes #marble #stone #makingthemagic​ #setdesign #totom

Have you ever been to #Salzburg? If you have you've no doubt seen #SchlossLeopoldskron, aka the house from #TheSoundofMusic. #12DatesofChristmas was filmed there, we were asked to build a replica of the castle as a #model to be used on the show. ​#dollshouse ​#setdesign #totom

Finally, spring seems to have arrived, flowers are starting to bloom. I just wish my garden was as nice as the one we created for The Furchester Hotel. Doesn't it look lovely 🥰 #furchesterhotel #spring #garden #flowers #janececchi #cbbc #setdesign #totom

Most props are made from cheap, light materials, like plywood, but they don't look very pretty. Thankfully our expert paint shop can make it look like a multitude of other, much more expensive woods. #fridayfinishes #makingthemagic #mahogany #wood ​#setdesign #totom

I lied! Last week I said Paul Smith was our coolest project to date, it wasn't, this was! The launch of the #Fiat500X with #Dynamo, the #magician 😎 Full-length video can be found here totom.co.uk/project/fiat-5… #dynamomagician #magic #magictrick #setdesign #totom

Some behind the scene shots from the #LarkRisetoCandleford set we constructed. You can see how the space is utilised, with sets close to each other but with space for a camera and crew to work. #behindthescenes #makingthemagic #backstage #SarahLancashire ​#setdesign #totom

As a Set Construction company, you have to be able to make things look old and weathered, and moldy mildewy timbers are needed quite a lot. ​#fridayfinishes #painters #paintfinishes #makingthemagic #mildew #mold #taboo ​#setdesign #totom

Last week I showed some of the internal sets for the Lark Rise and Candleford series, and as promised, here are some shots of the villages created from scratch on farms in Box and Neston Park. #transformationtuesday #behindthescenes #makingthemagic #backstage #setdesign #totom

Another example of ageing needed by the tv and film industry - rust! Make something brand new (and probably not made out of metal!) look old and rusty. ​#fridayfinishes #FabulousFriday #painters #painteffects #paintfinishes #rust #aging #makingthemagic ​#setdesign #totom

We've been working with #Amazon this year, building sets for #Citadel, the new thriller series that’s just started; have you seen it? Here's a few shots from a scene we constructed for some reshoots. #RichardMadden #PriyankaChopra #StanleyTucc​i #tvthriller #setdesign #totom
