What a big mouth you have

Kategori: Props

We started this second term with a quick film-project where we worked in small groups of two or three people . Everything was supposed to be done in less than three days, which made it rather "quick and dirty".

The film was also meant to re-tell or interpret a part of the traditional children's story The Red Riding Hood. As you will see we went quite far from the original saga.

It was shot with a handheld smartphone and edited in Adobe Premiere Pro. Paper was the main material for the set and characters. 

 
 
 

Boy, You're an Alien

This is a small wooden puppet I made for a film-project we finished just before christmas. The wood I used is linden treated with linseed oil. The decorations is painted with acrylics and the joints are joined together with copper colored wire.

The doll itself is around 30 cm tall. Total height, with the strings, is 60 cm.

 
 
 

Fox on the Run

This week we've started a new big project in school, we are going to create an animal head (fake of course). The final piece is to be molded in latex and covered with fur. The goal is to make it look as realistic as possible. As you can see in the photos, I've chosen to do a fox.

 First we sculpt the head in clay which later will be covered in plaster to create a mold for the latex.

I had planned to upload some photos from our latest school projects during my christmas vacation. But, unfortunately, my computer crashed and I'm now trying to identify and arrange my recovered files. So instead you get to see some new pictures of a small private project in progress.

 
 
The bust is around 7 cm tall, sculpted in super sculpey and painted with acrylics. I'm planning to add hair, body and clothes as well, but made from other materials. 
 
 
It's always strange to give your sculptures eyes...it's like they suddenly wake up and adds a little bit of their own personality...
