The expansive studio features two distinct green screen areas with tracking dots—one forming a curved wall in the background and another covering a large section of the floor in the foreground. Several partial physical sets, including wooden platforms and a detailed building facade, are constructed around the green screens. Suspended above the entire space is an intricate metal ceiling grid densely packed with professional studio lighting and rigging equipment.

Symmetrical rows of small, sturdy wooden benches and footrests for oarsmen line both sides of the central walkway. The floor consists of wooden planks integrated with large slatted iron or wooden grates down the center. Thick, weathered ropes hang down vertically from the heavy wooden ceiling beams in the foreground. Sunlight streams through small side openings, casting long, linear shadows across the empty deck.
