Sarah's Wall Tests.


The li'l piece of wall to the left is made out polyurethan foam, which Sarah carved bricks in and painted. The wee bit larger piece of wall to the right is made out of polystyrene. Once again she carved bricks in it and painted it.
We have talked about using both materials for background buildings... ...for maxium efficiency! (depending on just HOW decayed we want the buildings to be).
We also talked about making the actual wall (surrounding the ghetto) out of small plaster bricks and then creating the wall like you would a REAL one. This is to get the right look of the wall; which would be hard to get by carving the bricks in some sort of material (like the background buildings).

Script.


(Richard Raskins original script written at a Starbucks in Greenwich Village (Manhatten) on January 25th 2003).

Sarah's paper courtyard.

Here is two pictures of Sarah's paper courtyard... ...IN 3D!!!



Them Nazis... (Concept drawings of the German Soldiers).

A Monday update:

Thus a new week has begun - and in WF.HQ we are picking up the pace; Sarah and Katrine is drawing like crazy people.
Sarah is working on the buildings (both interior and exterior), making small paper models of the ghetto backyard and the apartment.
Katrine is making concept drawings of the nazis and of Samek (the boy) - so Johan can start the maquette building.
Johan is making weird esoteric documents and lists in excell and modelling on the maquettes, while Emil is updating the blog and designing props.

and now... what you all came to see...
