Simulated below is a rough version of how our set might look when it is constructed. Note that the Robinson Memorial stage has a lip-type wall that extends 8 feet from each side wall, thus there will be less empty space in the final version.
Featured in this model set are:
3 delightful free-standing cardboard cutouts illustrating the size of actual life-size humans
1 skinny l’il deciduous tree that can be dragged to and fro as needed
4 large metal smoke stacks of irregular height and width to represent the steel industry that forms Hamilton’s backbone
1 rear-projected multimedia screen under the guise of a billboard
3 steel cage type constructions and 1 board that will be used to assemble various set-pieces
2 rear walls of corrugated steel or fiberglass immitation corrugated steel depending on viability to be graffitied at a later date
1 swath of lustrous astroturf
1 unseen construction that allows actors to poke heads above rear wall of corrugated steel
Scale is 1 inch = 2 feet
hey there
I am a third year studio arts student at Mac, I heard about you through the sky dragon, and was curious if you needed any behind the scenes help! I have some experience with sets/lighting but I am interested in all aspects of the project.
Did you email about the pipes for the smokestacks? If you tell me exactly what you need (how many/what size/if you are going to modify them at all/etc), I can ask for you, but you’re still going to have to email about how to transport them. That could be figured out over the holidays, though, I suppose.
Anyway, talk it out with the group and let me know!
