Starting to design the chair

I have started to think about the design for the chair that the librarian will be sitting in for a large part of the film. I've measured up and cut to size two pieces of thick foamy stuff which will be the basis of my chair and which I will build ontop of with other materials.

Following my tutorial on the set it was suggested I have two holes either side of each leg which go through the whole of the seat of the chair so I can thread wire through to secure the puppet down whilst sat.

Work on the bookshelf has started!

I've started work on the bookshelf that the librarian is seen selecting books off of in the first shot. I will also use this in the background of other shots to instill the sense that it is a library.
Working in a jewellery shop is pretty handy when there are a lot of unwanted boxes lying around that I can recycle into bookshelves for my film!
I then covered these boxes in mod roc to harden the whole thing.
After my tutorial on the set it was suggested that I try making books out of cardboard and once painted cover them in a layer of PVA glue so that it gives them a leathery shine effect. I also thought I could add bits of string running along a few of them to give the effect of the ridges on old leather bound books.
