ROH 1-3 PLACMENT

Sometimes I find not succeeding at first more valuable than getting something right first time. If i had done what i originally wanted to do in life i wouldn't have got to do all this cool stuff!

Stages

Always need to remeber its just a stage and the ppl around me know that. I think I have written that so many times in this blog

So tired of drawing up.... This is my life

Tommy

TOMMYT

Tommy was a show of textures and effects. I reminded us the even painting something white can be alot of hard work. Looking back there was sterile white, maghonny, brass, steel all to be painted on a  vairty of surface, wood, metal and plastic. It was show that reninforced primming processes and the importance of creating a feeling of depth from the beginning. I made us as a group think about the under tones and how they would come through .

Due to minors, electives and first year rotations i am finding it difficult to rally up a team as there is not enough work for everyone in the paint shop and the students involved keep changing.

Grad show is coming along. It is interesting to see how we work as a team but it is frustrating. I guess it is good to remember we are all still learning and have little experience in each others spealsims 

work in progress

Sometimes, people like to change things. Like cut half the show and not tell you. Like add set and not mention it and people not bothering to reply to your emails. During times like these you need something else to focus on. So instead of coming home and getting annoyed by this i can pop a movie on in the background and get annoyed by the fact that this womans lips, eyes and nose aren't right but be glad in the fact at least i can say its still a work in progress. Roll on the weekend

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
