A busy first hlaf of the day, building props for the 'Fear Of The Thing Itself' and 'Norman Bates' videos. Making the Bates Motel was most fun, using cardboard and a glue gun, and few plans. It's more of an imaginary dream version of the Bates Motel rather than a copy; there are merely some similarities:
I made this without much of a plan about where the model will be used in the video, though I imagine it would be in the chorus.
The 'Fear Of The Thing Itself' models were made with a basic storyboard planned. By 3pm I felt so tired I almost fell asleep, and didn't feel like moving until this evening! I've made a basic set, and fixed the broken tripod with the ever-useful Polymorph. A few test scenes looked very good, but the felt model was very hard to control, he kept falling over and was nearly impossible to move or hold firmly to any degree. The scene is also very limited in view, the room is note much bigger than what is visible:
Which, funnily enough, was the case for the 1960s Psycho house, which mostly had a front and left side and nothing else.
