Avalon’s purpose built studios are supported by an extensive and well designed infrastructure that will enhance your working environment and help to achieve the very best from your cast and crew.
The studios, production offices and support facilities are all housed under one roof making for safe, secure and comfortable working conditions.
The talent dressing rooms all have showers and changing areas and are positioned close to the studios, make-up positions and wardrobe. There are cast and crew dressing rooms and changing areas for extras. The green rooms have direct access to the studios and are large and comfortable.
The set build and construction areas are immediately adjacent to the studio entrances with direct under cover vehicle access from the loading bays. The paint spray shop is in a bay off the main set construction area and close to the prop store.
Within the complex are a range of cutting rooms as well as track laying facilities and
there is access to a large viewing theatre within the TVNZ archive that can be used for watching dailies.
The back lot is suitable for building large green screens and provides the opportunity to shoot natural light sequences without leaving the complex. There is also a water reservoir that doubles as a wet stage.
You’ll find within the complex a cafeteria as well as plenty of space on the back lot to bring in your own location caterers when necessary.
And if you need to fly talent to and from the studios or to locations there is a licensed helicopter pad on site.
But most important of all at Avalon you will enjoy high quality production that will be evident and identifiable on screen and the service and support from our dedicated staff will ensure your stay with us is hassle free and you can concentrate on ”film” making.
