larger images of model with the digital print

Set Design 7/30/08

Hi guys, I think I've narrowed us down to two options - Digital print Vs. Painted plywood. Obviously there are conceptual differences, but the main reason for the comparison is budget. The digital print will probably be $1600 more than the plywood version. However, I do like the version with the digital print better I think.

Things to take notice of: grated window in the wall, door(s) placement in the wall, possibility of using lockers instead of shelving unit. The structure that I have used holding up the wall is a simple modular system based on scaffolding used for safety walkways on streets where construction is taking place. The system would allow for different configurations of our wall for a variety of different theatre types and sizes.

After the model images there are two drawings - one showing the ground plan of Milagro with our set in it. And, the other one is of the two shelving units.

Take a look at the images and please get back to me soon with comments, since my design deadline is technically Friday - Aug.1!! By the way, this may sound silly, but I just want to make sure that you are aware of this feature since it helps to see the images- IF YOU CLICK ON THE IMAGES ON THE BLOG, A WINDOW OPENS UP SHOWING THEM AT A LARGER SIZE.

Thanks, Sibyl

Digital print with and without 'projection' over it (simulated in photoshop!)This version of the model uses plain old plywood sheets with painted over graffiti areas. There are lots of options for where the shelving units can be placed. I think it's important for those units to be built out of old looking plywood or scrap material so that they don't look too misplaced.
Another option for digital print for the wall. It's simpler, but not as interesting as a shape.images showing some inspiration for the 'window' and safety walkway

Video of projection tests in Milagro Theatre 7_23_08

Hi DP kids, here are some images from our video projection tests at Milagro yesterday. Sorry they are all so dark. If you can't view them, scroll down to the end because I added some still photos that are brighter and easier to see. Cheers, Sibyl

This clip is taken with the Mini DV camera so zooming is possible.

These one shows a day to night lighting sequence.

These videos below are taken with a tiny spy camera which allows us to get closer and still focus on the pieces.

These were videos that Chris and I took a few weeks ago. They are projected right on the set model obviously. The set is not going to have that desert image, but it helps to see how the video plays out over the stage. And, they are a lot brighter.

We liked the colors that were projected by zooming way into the cactus with the flowers:

Still images in case you can't see the video since it's so dark!

7/12/08 set updates

Hi, I know there are a lot of images to look thru, but really the coolest ones are at the end of this new posting! Also, sketches of ideas of how to change the SCALE model layout at the end too. Enjoy! Sibyl

SCALE Model

Set model with new cubby boxes
I love this image of Japanese cubbies. Love the labels on them!

Check out how cool it is to see a hand come in and change position of a model piece!
Ideas that Chris and I were exploring for next phase of SCALE model. Having Model sitting on

a rolling cart with drawers/shelves underneath to store equipment, cable and model pieces. Just a quick sketch so that we could discuss it further on Sunday.

camera question??

Hi Andy, can you suggest some tiny, inexpensive cameras for the model? Or are you thinking the miniHD cameras are for the model?Give me a call so we can chat. Thanks, Sibyl

ps. Chris, wasn't there a camera you were suggesting to me for use in the model?
