mwahahaha

Transluscent Drop Process

My first transluscency!!! I mean the first one that I've charged... the first DROP that I've charged... EVER. I'm pretty happy with it considering
A) We cartooned and painted it in four days.
B) For 90% of it, it was just me and one other girl.
C) Everyone else on the paint deck is less experienced with me in knowledge about transluscencies (their words, not mine).
D) I'm doing this on a PAINT FRAME for God's sakes... which I've never worked on before this summer.
E) We had to be FAST- barely any time for planning.

So all in all I'm pretty proud and pleased and I guess I'm not as scared of charging as I used to be. There are a lot of problems I have with the drop because it is NOT really true to the picture in some senses... but in theatre, the 2 of 3 rule applies (money, speed and quality... you can have it fast and look good but it'll be expensive... you can have it cheap and fast but it'll look crappy, etc.)

Mostly I'm going to have to ignore the fact that we had to just OPAQUE as fast as possible without leaving some spaces for leaves to have light shine through... and some of the clouds are not as detailed. Fortunately, the designer wanted it fuzzy. So we have some allowance for lost of detail.

Anyway, I'm glad to have had this experience and I believe I will put it in my portfolio... all we have to see now is how it looks with backlight!! ::fingers crossed:: But it shouldn't be too bad because it's just tree and the sky... the ground row is going to be sketchy (the landscape) because I'm not certain of the density of the pigment used and it was really hard to do tests in the time given. If worst comes to worst, we can opaque it in the space.

Anyways, off to shop! <3

Just supportin U of M!!! I mean it's hysterical anyway...

The Pierces

This singing duo of sisters has definitely got me dancing around to their "Sticks and Stones". The video is a little creeper but just sit back, enjoy and ignore their over-acting...

First Paint Charge Project!

So I'm actually heading up my first real drop ever at Heritage Rep. Fortunately for me, it's going to be a BEAUTIFUL movie still from Gone with the Wind for "Moonlight and Magnolias". I've decided to document the process as it moves through each stage.

Here are pictures of the pictures my charge received:



I'm really excited! The big challenge is that this is my first time working on a drop on a paint frame, so all of the spray work is going to be tricky if we don't want drips. However, I'm mad stoked and know it can be done...
