MOVIE SET AND ACCOMMODATION CONSTRUCTION
PBS is a leader in the movie set construction and crew accommodation industry in the South Pacific. We are capable of producing high quality sets for any budget in just about any location.
As unusual as it might seem, PBS has an extraordinary amount of experience in movie set and crew accommodation construction.
Recent projects on which we've been commissioned include:
MTV Road Rules
We were employed as location scout for MTV Road Rules and main contact during pre-production. In addition, we were commissioned as construction coordinators to supply all construction materials, props and sets for the production. MTV hired trucks, tools and boats from PBS.
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (Columbia Films)
PBS was commissioned to transform Viti Corp farm sheds into a base for the Construction/Art department workshop for the shooting of the movie Anacondas. One of our directors, Michael Fairfax, was employed as Construction Foreman for the movie and PBS supplied the core of the local construction department. We supplied tools, vehicles, boats, generators, manpower and local contacts to the department.
Granada's Fantasy Love Island
We were commissioned by Granada to provide materials for the celebrity Love Island on Bounty Island. We pre-fabricated a variety of structures and props.
Survivor (FIJI)
Our biggest crew accommodation construction project was the design and building of the crew accommodation for the crew of Survivor in Labasa in late 2005. We built 174 one bedroom units in 5 weeks on a remote site on Vanua Levu, Fiji. We also built props and assisted with tribal council buildings amongst others.
Endemol's "Under One-Roof"
We were commissioned for the construction of a 3,600 square foot house for the Endemol production, Under One Roof, in a very remote part of the Fiji Island group. We completed this large house in 10-weeks on time and within budget. In addition, one of our directors, Michael Fairfax, was employed as Assistant Art Director. We supplied vehicles, boats, tools and manpower for the duration of the production.
Eco Challenge
PBS was employed to coordinate construction for Eco Challenge. We built starting props and signboards and provided contacts during scouting and pre production.
Other
Numerous international and local commercials and set building - including prefabrication of the entire set for the movie Smiledon where we were commissioned as the construction manager.
We have a wide range of vehicles and tools including generators, boats, trucks, crane trucks and four-wheel drives. We offer a broad variety of specialty services and with our local knowledge can help accomplish virtually any media production in Fiji and the South Pacific. We have a great working relationship with most major suppliers in our industry and can help pass along cost savings through our buying power as one of the largest construction companies in the South Pacific.
