How it was made here
Colonial row for 1950s Ibadan
The six quarters played the district office, a mission house and the dyers’ street.
The dye pits on Stage 1
Twelve working dye pits were built on Agodi with drains into a tank, so actors could dye real cloth.
Costume in the village
Wardrobe took over two cabins and the costume laundry for 1,400 period pieces.
Season two is shooting now
Season two moves into Stage 1 in November, with a ferry rescue in the harbour tank in December.
The art department built a town and nobody had to drive home through traffic at 2am. That is how you make 10 episodes on time.

Behind the scenes
Salt and Indigo used colonial row, stage 1 over 104 days. Our teams handled construction, marine safety, catering for 900 extras and the full post-production schedule.
All titles, people and companies on this page are invented for this demo.
Planning something similar?
Can we use the same sets?
Some sets stay standing between productions. Ask the bookings desk what is up this month, and we can price a redress.
How far ahead should we book?
Features and series book 4 to 9 months ahead for Stage 1 and the tank. Commercials often book with two weeks notice.
Do you help with crew?
Yes. We keep a list of trusted Ibadan and Lagos crew, and our own construction, lighting and marine teams.
