The All Important “Wings”: Studios 33 and 31, TVC
The side stage wings of CBS Television City’s Studio 33 and 31 were great ideas that helped greatly in production. The designers wanted to create a theatrical feeling, but needed to accommodate cameras, so the wings were built into their design. Many times, when live set changes were occurring, the action would move to the wings for simple transition scenes. This was a dream job too!
Nope, the cameraman won’t fall off. There’s a ‘lip’ along the edge to prevent that. Here, it looks like it’s a good 8 inches high. Nowadays, the lip is shorter, but still effective.
