Let's talk a wee little bit about how I made this set. It is primarily made of cork, cardboard, wire, and small pins. Gaffe tape, fabric and paint are used for the facade elements. Key example of the idea that things only have to look like stuff rather than actually be stuff: The corrugated sheet metal in the background is painted corrugated cardboard, and the fencing next to it, obviously, is chicken wire. I also have magnets in it right now, bucky balls, but those might come out.
More on the prop elements and the use of found objects. that tiny harmonica on the table? well, it's a tiny harmonica. Actually works, too, but one octave, that's it, c-tuning. It's taking the role of... a tiny Harmonica. On the other hand, that pocket watch has both become a clock of a kind (with it's base made of aluminum wire, which all the fabricated props have element on) and it's lid has become the removable sheet of the spiral chair. In fact, all the chairs have removable pieces so that they can be used with my puppet's stand. My obsession with detail might have shot me at least partially in the foot here, as I may have to simplify the background if Penny doesn't stand out enough from it. (things to find out tomorrow, I guess, as animation actually begins).
Now, onto the final part, I'm trying to compile who helped me make the background art. Now this isn't so much a worry if I already touched base with you on it (or if you, like Amy Lee Ketchum, Javier Barboza, or Sean Linehan are already recieving a bigger credit) but I'm trying to figure out everyone I need to credit as background artists. These are the pieces I'm using:
And here are the people I'm absolutely sure have drawn on them (the three people I previously listed excluded:
Cecilia De Jesus
Michelle Yang
Dan Wilson
Jovanna Tosello
Lou Morton
I'm absolutely certain other people have worked on them too, I just got to get my books in order, and if you're one of them, please just let me know so you get the credit you deserve. Anyway, TTFN.
... god, I should really be doing sound work.
