Casing, Palace, Uv and the end of Panto

So the whole of panto there was never more stress than about the 2 Items I am about to Blog about. 

The Casing was used in the Genie Cave  as a way of transforming the scene into something a little more Bollywood and partyish. Both Sarah and Gary were freaking out about it as it was that we only fabric we had a small amount of material if cut wrong could not be replaced. They got wires crossed in regards to how to tackle the project causing unnecessary stress and a miss communication to myself and Maisie. However with care and  concentration this ended up being one of the easiest things we did.   Normally we would be using Silk but as we were unable to budget for that we ended up using cotton. It worked nicely from the stalls but i did not like the effect from the circles.

The Palace was also seemed to cause a lot of stress. It did appear we were running out of time and Both Simon and Matt were off for a few days during this part of the build. However when it came to painting ( i was not part of the drawing up) I felt it took a lot less time than was expected. Most of this flat was cut out so the coat of Yellow was quick. Getting the curves to give that feeling of circular room was not as tricky as we first expected. 

By Far the funniest part of Panto was the UV painting which was a Shame as it was not able to be seen on stage during the pyramid scene. All the lights were turend off the blue lights on and blue moon party music on and off we went. It did not take long and was not very difficult just a night spirt lifting activity. Afterwards gary showed us chroma-depth and interesting style of painting using 3d style cinema glasses uv light and colours. I love learning about little things like this and often wish we got a hour long lecture a week about techniques, styles or even different practitioners. I think it would help us become more creative. The course is very much  about self motivation and self teaching however sometimes thats hard to do when you dont know where to start.

I pretty clear to me i didn't enjoy Panto. In hindsight i wasent as motivated as I should have been but looking back i learned less than i hoped to but more than I thought i did.  Thats a thought that i will definitely try and remember for next term and hopefully i will be writing that i have learned and developed and grown as a person by this time next term :P
