In this scale model we can see the Project idea, we work
with 2x2x0,5 meters prismatic pieces build with a metallic structure cover with
medium density panels and rear projections screens that are easy to assemble
in the workshop and easy to build in the studio.

with 2x2x0,5 meters prismatic pieces build with a metallic structure cover with
medium density pannels and rear projections screens that are easy to assemble

We need three sets for this TV program:
- an interview set with a door at the background that allow the possibility to surprise the principal actor of the story.
- a performance set with stairs to go down the scene and a platform for shadow play.
- a central set where all the stories ends with the tribute of all the people in the studio.

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'll ever get to see this programme, but I think it's amazing that you've solved the three problems with one coherent solution. I like the way they seem woven, like a tapestry of life. The model is interesting too and I totally believe that simple models or 'maquettes' in paper and coloured can often be more convincing than beautifully finished models in wood or metal.
