Media Production at King of the Hammers

Johnson Valley, CA - Studio Technical Services (Studio Tech) recently delivered a fully redundant remote connectivity platform for Morning Walk, the media team supporting Optima Batteries at the King of the Hammers off-road race, demonstrating how modern productions can operate with enterprise-grade infrastructure in remote environments. Using a 30-foot tower trailer as an elevated communications hub, Studio Tech deployed a Peplink bonded router aggregating three Starlink High Performance terminals to provide high-bandwidth satellite connectivity capable of supporting continuous high-resolution photo and video uploads to cloud-based workflows. Starlink Mini terminals with magnetic vehicle mounts enabled chase teams to transmit content directly from the course.

Las Vegas, NV (February 2026) Coffee House Industries partnered with UFC's production team to fabricate a custom Paramount+ LED octagon stage for high-profile UFC fight promotion filming at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Designed as a camera-ready platform for commercial shoots and promotional video content, the stage features internal multi-channel LED lighting, a durable acrylic top surface, and a large Paramount+ logo finish that reads cleanly under studio lighting. The project highlights Coffee House Industries' ability to deliver precision-built scenic fabrication under tight deadlines while meeting the demanding standards required for professional broadcast production.

From Concept to Completion

A member of UFC's production crew contacted Coffee House Industries directly to develop a fully fabricated octagon-shaped stage that would serve as the centerpiece for promotional filming. The production team needed a platform that looked bold and polished on camera while remaining structurally stable throughout filming. Coffee House Industries fabricated the stage at its Los Angeles facility, where the in-house carpentry team built the octagon structure and aligned each panel precisely with the geometry of the design. After completing the structural build, the team moved immediately into finishing and lighting integration to meet UFC's production requirements.

Multi-Channel LED Lighting and Acrylic Top Integration

A key feature of the build was the internal LED lighting system. William, Coffee House Industries' printer operator and LED specialist, integrated multiple LED channels throughout the interior structure, creating a consistent glow designed to read clearly on camera. The team installed an acrylic top panel to provide a stable surface while allowing the internal lighting to diffuse evenly across the stage. William then applied the large Paramount+ logo finish, giving the final build a bold branded presence designed specifically for broadcast visibility.

Transport and Setup at UFC Apex

After fabrication and finishing were complete, Coffee House Industries transported the stage from its Los Angeles facility to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas using the company's logistics network. Once on-site, the crew installed and positioned the stage for filming while coordinating with the production team to ensure camera framing and lighting captured the stage's illumination and branding exactly as intended. The result was a fully camera-ready platform built specifically for UFC promotional fight content.

A High-Pressure Build With a Broadcast-Ready Finish

With a tight timeline and broadcast-level expectations, the project demonstrates Coffee House Industries' ability to execute high-stakes scenic fabrication for major sports and entertainment productions. From structural fabrication and LED integration to branding and final installation, the Paramount+ UFC stage reflects the craftsmanship, coordination, and speed required for professional promotional environments.

Johnson Valley, CA - Remote film and television media teams face predictable - and expensive - connectivity problems: no wired infrastructure, unreliable cellular service, large-format media uploads, cloud-based editorial workflows, producer approvals in real time, and field units spread across miles of terrain. When you leave the studio lot, connectivity quickly becomes one of the biggest operational risks on location. At King of the Hammers in Johnson Valley, Studio Tech deployed a fully redundant remote network supporting Morning Walk's media operations for Optima Batteries, the events principal sponsor - a real-world example of how modern productions can operate efficiently in infrastructure-limited environments. We built the deployment around our 30' tower trailer, serving as an elevated network and communications hub. A Peplink bonded router aggregated three Starlink High Performance terminals to create resilient, high-bandwidth satellite internet capable of supporting continuous high-resolution uploads to cloud workflows. Elevated Wi-Fi access points mounted on 25' stands created structured production zones at base camp, while Starlink Mini systems with magnetic vehicle mounts enabled mobile teams to transmit content from anywhere on the course. A professional Motorola radio system with a base station antenna at the top of the tower ensured reliable voice coordination across the footprint. The result: faster uploads, real-time collaboration, mobile connectivity for field units, and redundancy designed to minimize downtime - even in harsh desert conditions. If your next production is heading off-grid, your network should be purpose-built for the environment. Studio Tech designs and deploys remote connectivity systems that keep production moving.

In the upcoming documentary The Last Rocketman , Dan Schlund, CEO of National Set Medics, does something few leaders would ever consider - he literally places his life in the hands of his own emergency medical team. Long before founding National Set Medics, Dan Schlund was known around the world as "The Rocketman," performing jaw-dropping jet pack flights across international stages and major events. His high-risk performances thrilled audiences, but in 2013, a catastrophic crash changed everything. Schlund broke his neck in a life-threatening jet pack accident - an incident that could have ended both his career and his life. Instead, it became the turning point that reshaped his purpose. After recovering, Schlund transitioned his focus from performing to protecting others, becoming a paramedic and eventually founding National Set Medics - a company dedicated to providing elite on-set emergency medical services for film, television, live events, and high-risk productions. Now, more than a decade after his accident, Schlund is strapping the jet pack on one final time for this highly-anticipated documentary with his trusted medical crew by his side. Beth: When Dan made the decision to fly again, it wasn't lost on any of us what was at stake. This wasn't just another stunt. This was a man who had once broken his neck doing the very thing he was preparing to do again. As Director of the Reality Medic Division for National Set Medics, my job was not to hope everything would go well - it was to prepare for the exact moment it didn't. Our preparation mirrored the standards we bring to every high-risk production: layered contingency planning, clearly defined extraction pathways, pre-staged advanced life support equipment, spinal and airway management protocols, hemorrhage control strategies, and rapid transport coordination. We ran the "what if" scenarios over and over - hard landings, loss of consciousness, spinal compromise, fuel-related burns, cardiac arrest. We positioned ourselves for immediate access without compromising the shot. Every medic on that line knew their assignment before the engines ever ignited. There is no room for ego in that environment only precision, discipline, and trust. My years serving as a medic on multiple seasons of Naked and Afraid shaped much of how I build these teams. In remote, austere environments, you learn quickly that rescue is rarely simple and never convenient. You learn to anticipate problems before they declare themselves. You learn to operate autonomously, to improvise when necessary, and to stay clinically calm while the world around you is not. Those experiences, along with work across other reality productions and high-risk shoots, forged a team culture built on redundancy, adaptability, and quiet competence. What made this mission different was the personal layer. Dan wasn't just a performer. He's our CEO. He's a colleague. He's a friend. Watching him trust us enough to step back into the air carried weight. But that's what National Set Medics is built on - the understanding that preparation replaces panic. When you commit to elite medical support, you commit fully. In the end, The Last Rocketman isn't just a story about flight. It's a story about resilience, calculated risk, and trusting the unseen professionals who stand ready when courage meets consequence. Our role is simple, even when the circumstances are not: when someone puts their life on the line, we are there trained, prepared, and ready to bring them home.
