So much has happened I think the best way to do this would be a list.
Phaedra’s
The production is a “creative design process” as working on the show for the td and paint team I have learned a lot. It Made me much more aware of the importance of maths, and consistency. The painting is fairly easy with a mostly white water wash with dabs of colour. Master carpentry work my main job on the show was a big learning curve for me being something I don’t really do much of it was hard to adjust again to the sweep, routers, jigs and pneumatic screw guns but I finally feel like I’m getting it. All good. Helped on a few other shows as well an hour here and there, just marking out and priming boring but necessary.
Chasing Eden
Spent this weekend working on the set for one students film thesis. The films called Chasing Eden and the house we were filming at this weekend if absolutely gorgeous. All tho simple Set design/ dressing it looks really effective and makes you aware of continuity. Its also interesting to watch the filming process. I think my fav thing so far has been meeting these new people.
Music video,
My friend is spending this weekend shooting a music video and he required his guitar to be giving a make over in the style of John Pollock. First I took apart and sanded down the guitar masked of the areas that was needed then applied a base layer of white spray paint. Once dry I took a waster bottle with a few small holes in it and filled it with paint and a drop of water . Then dribbled the paint over the Guitar. I applied 3 layers in yellow, blue and red. Then a layer of spray varnish was applied.
Disneyland
This weekend myself, roise and Tom went on a trip to Disneyland to see behind the scenes of the costume shop. Looking at the sketches, designs and fabrication process was astounding. The actually costumes were breathing taking especially the wigs and masks. Paulette the shop manger also took us on a small tour around Disney as well as letting in to see Aladdin. The production was visually and technically breathe taking. With there being 2 flying carpets ( one a costume with a amazing acrobat and the other actually flying over your head) a life size elephant costume as well as camels and horse we were nothing but blown away.
Another amazing thing was the floats they were building of course a lot of it was top secret so were unable to take pictures but the ones in development look fantastic and I hope I get a chance to see them before I head home.
Classes
Light lab class is killing me. I love it but most of the girls are not interested at all and it drives me insane to work with them.
Model making is ok, I find with the busy out of class schedule I don’t have time to work on my models as much as needed but what I do have time to do is good so hopefully soon I will be able to spend more time on them.
3D sculptor
I like this class because the aim is to get us comfortable with a Varity of different mediums, wire, polystyrene, joint compound and lately wire and concrete to crate a sculptor that we can apply mosaic to. Cant wait to see how it turns out!
Scene painting.
Currently working on a translucent painting copying the work of mookia. Currently on the drawing up stages but cant wait to see how it turns out. Really hoping to add it to my portfolio if it turns out well.
Stage craft.
Currently working on making a carnival game. It gives us the opportunity to make flats, platform, treads and doors so it a great all round basic stagecraft education. Really learning a lot from it and finding this class very valuable.
Friday drawing
Friday is still my drawing day and although not progressing as fast as I was at the start still a lovely way to finish the week.
Although busy with work still been having fun .. Rosie birthday, Vegas, Management office beers, Long beach, Venice beach, Margaritas and days by the pool
