BRUSAN vs. POLYSTYRENE

This is an analysis of the advantages of Brusan over polystyrene as scenic material based on the hot water's grotto scene of the movie "Sheitan"

BRUSAN

POLYSTRENE

The complete set was erected and taken down in 10 days (9 to mount, 1 to dismount) by a crew of ??.	The planning was for the complete set to be erected and taken down by a crew of 10 in 3 weeks.
Material: 1200 meters of Brusan Canvas single sided, 3000 meters of wood frames, glue and staples.	Material: Polystyrene blocks, heavy wood frames, polystyrene saws etc.
Carbon footprint: 1 van delivered the 120 rolls of Brusan	Carbon footprint: 3 Eighteen wheelers to deliver the Polystyrene.
Environment: Brusan is a clean product: there is not damaging vapors, chemicals or residues and 100% of the product is used. It may be re-used many times.	Environment: Polystyrene emits damaging vapors, chemicals and leaves hard to clean residues when cut. It cannot be re-used.
Safety: Being ultra light (400 grams / m²) Brusan gets the best insurance rates (less risk of a heavy part falling) and enables easy set up of, say, a grotto or a cave's ceiling.	Safety: Being heavier, Polystyrene cost more in insurance. Setting up a cave's ceiling necessitates an heavy framing .
Realism: Brusan enables sharper angles for stones.	Realism: Sharper angles are difficult to reproduce with Polystyrene.
Set environment (water scene): No humidity, easy access to tight places: With Brusan, one can make a large rock décor on a large set that only has tight corridors and regular doorways to access the stage.	Set environment (water scene): High humidity, no easy access to tight places.

Studio Cost: 10 days at €1,500/day = €15,000

Studio Cost: 3 weeks at €1,500/day = €31,500
