Building the mausoleum from The Resurrectionists “Welcome to our fake mausoleum.. The exterior build to the spooky stone interior from earlier. Gave this to Scottish scenic artist Rebecca Hamilton to smash out, from studio build to final touches on location at the foot of Stirling Castle”

ian hubert ( @ianhubertz ): A small part of a set I've been working on with @nathan.h.taylor , @selenannis , and @kaitlinbones for the past couple days. Crazy fun to see so many different pieces coming together and learn so many techniques - this is gonna be wild :D #filmmaking #setbuilding #cyberpunk [posted 2019 jan 29]

Behind the scenes of the DFYLM video, by Jam Cole, set builder.

'Absolutely HONORED to have been a part of this shoot for @calumhood ! Best Director @andydeluca tasked me with building a room where the walls closed in, so I built two 12 ft long walls on casters with a heavy track at the top of the stationary back wall. For transport I had to do everything in panels - my workspace became a physically exhausting game of Tetris and I loved every minute of it. Special thanks to @ssippi for the perfect last minute building space - this was one of those weeks where everything fell into place exactly when it needed to, with stunning results...'

Doing theater behind the scenes stuff (and just theater stuff in general) as a part time job is really interesting because a good 80% of the folks I work with have other far more “adult” jobs. Our stage manager does communications at a local prestigious college. Our lighting designer does software development. And that��s without even mentioning the actors!! I was helping mic up a really nice older guy and he off-handily mentioned that he was animator. What he *didn’t* mention was that he was an Emmy winning animator for dreamworks.

All these people have their own lives and jobs, but they still spend their time making something with theater anyways. It’s made me less scared about wanting to become an artist. If you have that passion, it can work out.

Just throwing this out there: Puppet Mind and other Minds

I am working through my head how I am going to make my list of puppets. I am sorting out which ones I should start first. Current thought is the hard ones first. And put the easy ones in between. The 13th Doctor is first since I must get her into the Dragon Con auction. Then the Shoreleave mystery puppets. Then King Richard and Tad Cooper. In between there will be critter building. Sherlock and Watson already have bodies. This is April and I need to get this done by July to stay on schedule.

I have been writing a novel for several years now. I put it down after the last session of words working. I am going to pick that up or the novel that I wrote a short prequel entitled “She’s a real cougar,” In Bad Ass Moms. This story has been running through my head for years now. It is about a young man who was abandoned by his mother, doesn’t know who his father it, and, having reached the age of 16, found that his heritage has left him with some odd problems besides the usual teenage issues.

I have an idea where I take my puppets, build sets for them, and photograph them. I could then sell the prints online and at conventions. I am excellent at building puppet sized furniture. I believe a bar is the next set I will build because it will work with more than one set of puppets. I would have to build a few more puppets for customers and the bartender. The bartender is going to be important. That is a set I can redress, and magnets and Velcro are my friends. I just need the room to do it.

I know how I want to redo my puppet site and see if I can move some traffic there. I must make a file of all my puppets and find those that are only in my Photobucket and other places. Unfortunately, when Apple changed their photosystem, I lost a lot of photos, or they are on a hard drive I no longer have access to. I might have a reach around for my problem. I do know that a couple of those computers still work. It’s getting the info off them. It would be interesting to see my earlier puppetry work. I have learned a lot since then, so I know they look better. But I want a record of everything.

I am grateful for minds working.

Being a general set assistant is great. I’ll get a text from someone 20 years older than me going “Do you know how to use hot glue?” Then I blink and an hour later I’m building Dr. Seuss trees.

I felt the brick was a little too mid-century so I made it baby blue and added a fancy awning… I hope it doesn’t look too American lol. Fortunately America and Britain were roughly the same in the 1910s in terms of aesthetics, I think.
