Panto set and painting

I've been working on the Jack and the Beanstalk set for the last few weeks. Here are some photos of the set and cloths.

Front cloth:

Ida Bean's circus wagon:

The Panto is set in a traditional circus, everything has an aged feel to it, achieved with tinted sepia glazes and paint flicking texture added to the signage.

 Other bits of set and signage:

I've had four work placement students helping with the project and a few other people building and painting with me. 

Thanks to:

 Sam Gillespie, Tashi Gregorska, Beatrice, Charlotte, Alice and Lila.

Panto rockets

For Puss in Boots I designed a rocket built from old windmill sails and baking trays from the Windmill. This is built on stage to their version of 'Greased Lightning'. We replicated this in a smaller scale as well, which is seen during the UV ballet scene showing their journey through space. 

Both had red flashing lights installed.
