The original photos and pages for this behind-the-scenes look at HOUSE are no longer online, but the lesson still applies: TV series are built on careful planning, with call sheets, lighting plans and stage setups decided well before the actors arrive.

If you want to learn from professional sets, study call sheets and lighting diagrams from shows you admire, and try recreating one lighting setup on a small scale. What TV series do you study for its look?
