Aria Studio Virtual Tour
Reception
Welcome to the Aria Film Studios in Llangefni. Here鈥檚 the reception with the stunning mural of the exterior of the building and the mountains in the background.
The Studio
Here we are in Studio 2 which is home to some of 鈥楻ownd a Rownd鈥檚 characters. As you can see, the sets are backed up to maximise the space.
Dani鈥檚 House
We are now in Dani鈥檚 house, one of the series鈥 most popular and longest-serving characters. Here is a kitchen and lounge area.
Notice that Dani has only half a hallway 鈥 as we or the camera cannot see around corners, there was no need to continue the build.听 The actual front door is located on the street in Menai Bridge.
Si芒n鈥檚 House
Here鈥檚 the hallway in Sian鈥檚 house.听 Notice that the stairs do not lead anywhere, as there is no upstairs on the set.听 This is an exact replica of a private house in Llandegfan. The kitchen set had to be recreated exactly like the real house because it was not possible to film on location after the pandemic.
Jason鈥檚 Flat
This is Jason鈥檚 flat, and in the story, it is located above the T欧 Pizza set, which is on the main set in Menai Bridge.
The Boatyard Shop
This is the biggest set in the studio.听 Once again, the exterior of the shop i sown by the Menai Straits in Menai Bridge. The interior was recreated here to facilitate the filming due to the huge amount of set dressing and pops required to fill the shop.
Arthur鈥檚 House
As we make our way to Arthur鈥檚 house the rest of the sets can be seen clearly. A wall has been taken out here in order to create space for the film crew to work as the set itself is relatively small.听 From the hallway you can see how close the sets are in relation to each other.
The K鈥檚 House
Ken and Kay live here. 听The actual house is on the 鈥楻ownd a Rownd鈥 lot in Menai Bridge, but after COVID, more space was needed, so this set was built slightly bigger than the original house, even though you would not notice this on screen.
From the hallway, we can see into the kitchen.
Dylan and Sophie鈥檚 House
This is definitely 鈥楻ownd a Rownd鈥檚鈥 grandest set 鈥 Dylan and Sophie鈥檚 luxurious house. The Art Department had fun designing this set.
And here鈥檚 the hallway with the staircase leading nowhere and the entrance to the lounge area.
The Gallery
In the corner of the studio the gallery area is situated. Here the director and the rest of the technical crew sit during the filming. They watch the action on the monitors and go back and forth to the individual sets as required.
Costume Department
The costume department is located behind the studio and here all the character鈥檚 costumes are stored, sorted and washed.听 It鈥檚 here that the actors come each day and change into their costumes.
Make-Up Room
After changing into their costumes, the actors come here for their makeup. The make-up department is also responsible for hair styling and cutting, as well as creating special effects like cuts and bruises.
