I'm learning so much about proper project organization, what it looks like to be highly self-motivated, and all the technical things you are documenting over at the Mission.Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-65840046012401423442007-02-15T01:05:00.000-08:002007-02-15T01:05:00.000-08:00Thank you, Corey!Thank you, Corey!Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-32377285218311970382007-02-14T15:13:00.000-08:002007-02-14T15:13:00.000-08:00Yeah....Its so awesome to learn from you guys.

I'll build as planned in paper base and then make a "cut aways", slices into the set top like a anatomy diagram, along the whole side of the descending steps for EASY access to underneath the path.<BR/><BR/>In other words, for "show" situations the entire set assembles as if a real world, but it can also come apart where needed in order to animate. yay. <BR/><BR/>Thanks!Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-19269772532716243052007-02-14T09:28:00.000-08:002007-02-14T09:28:00.000-08:00Ding, ding, ding!

I used to order for them from Unnatural Resources in New Jersey or H.G Pasternack, Inc. in New York I think.<BR/><BR/>Great points, Mike, of course I was imagining that the boxes would be open underneath or at the side for reaching the tiedowns but I will have to think more about exactly how. And yes, the water would be slightly above floor level. There's not much action taking place in the water at all. <BR/><BR/>The entire Halfland set is primarily for setting appearances and will not have animation taking place on it. Just the walk down from the porch and back, a chicken with his feet in place, and a snail which could/will be done in close up on another swath of larger scale landscape and then dropped in later.<BR/><BR/>There'll be wind blowing through the quilt on the clothesline and in tree leaves but those things will be in reach from the edges of the set.<BR/><BR/>It's great to get me to think hard about these practical aspects now, Mike.Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-65642711184764493722007-02-14T03:54:00.000-08:002007-02-14T03:54:00.000-08:00Just took a better look at your pic, and you're pr...Just took a better look at your pic, and you're probably fully aware of all this, but a couple things that concern me -<BR/><BR/>If you're planning to use tie-downs, you'll need to substitute something like a ramp for those crates so you can get a hand underneath to work the screws. That could be a wooden ramp with thinninsh ground cover bult over it that you can drill through, or could be a shell made of the fiberglass cloth/plaster mix. <BR/><BR/>Also, I'm assuming the lower level of the set will be higher than the actual studio floor, since I believe Kira needs to be submerged in the water (for Rana to pull her out, or however it works)? And of course the need to get under that level as well for tie-down purposes. Not to mention your aching back if you try to animate on the floor!Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-6201842917956054362007-02-14T03:49:00.000-08:002007-02-14T03:49:00.000-08:00It does sound like Celastic, and I believe that's ...It does sound like Celastic, and I believe that's no longer being made. <BR/><BR/>Nick uses fiberglass cloth and plaster to create landscape shells over chicken wire supported by plywood forms.Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-41150452308417021122007-02-14T01:58:00.000-08:002007-02-14T01:58:00.000-08:00Any idea what that toxic material was?
