Crafting a Custom Set for Nu Finish’s Commercial

LA Set Construction had the exciting opportunity to fabricate a custom display for Nu Finish's commercial, highlighting the transformative effect of their car polish. This unique set featured a split car silhouette mounted on a rotating platform, visually demonstrating how the polish rejuvenates a vehicle’s appearance. As the platform rotated, one side of the car, left dirty and unpolished, contrasted dramatically with the gleaming, polished side, clearly showing how Nu Finish makes any car look brand new.


Precision Manufacturing for a Flawless Silhouette

To accurately replicate the car’s side profile, we began with a 3D scan of the vehicle. This process allowed us to measure every curve and contour with precision, ensuring that the silhouette fit perfectly on the rotating platform.

Our carpentry team constructed the silhouette’s structure using high-quality plywood, providing a sturdy base. For a smooth, sealed edge, bender board was applied along the open borders. After assembly, our painters meticulously spackled any holes or imperfections in the plywood, ensuring a flawless surface. Once the spackle dried, the surface was sanded to perfection, preparing it for the final finishing touch.

A Polished Finish for the Perfect Presentation

The final step was painting the car silhouette with a matte white finish, giving it a sleek and professional appearance. This ensured the silhouette would stand out against the rotating platform, drawing attention to the before-and-after effect of Nu Finish’s product. This attention to detail exemplified our commitment to high-quality craftsmanship, ensuring the set looked as good as it functioned.

On-Set Display: A Real-Time Visual Transformation

The rotating platform brought the set to life during the commercial shoot, allowing viewers to see the car’s transformation in real-time. As the platform turned, the polished side of the car gleamed under the lights, emphasizing the power of Nu Finish’s product. The side-by-side comparison vividly communicated the campaign’s message: with Nu Finish, any car can achieve a like-new appearance.

Conclusion

This project for Nu Finish’s car polish commercial exemplifies LA Set Construction’s ability to combine creative design and precise manufacturing to produce high-quality custom sets. From 3D scanning and expert carpentry to flawless painting and seamless on-site assembly, every step of the process was executed with care to meet the client’s goals.
