hot set
Don't touch anything
A hot set is a film or television set that must remain untouched between shooting sessions because it's still in active use.
Props, furniture, and lighting are precisely positioned for continuity, so crew members know not to move or disturb anything: Don't touch that coffee cup—it's a hot set.
Signs typically mark these areas to prevent accidental disruption.
