Hi guys

This is my first weekly post since setting up the blog so they should be slightly shorter than the first 2 posts.

This week I was only expecting to finish the house set for the opening scene this week, but I have also managed to start work on the box machine.
________________________________
Here you can see the finished house for the opening scene of the film. I have added the guttering and the windows. I am very happy with the overall look and I can sign it off as finished.

Building the outside of this house has taken almost 3 weeks to complete. Its a lot of work for what will only be 10 seconds of film!!! This is why Christmas is a likely deadline for the whole film.

Below are pictures of inside the house set, where a mysterious dog will be working hard at his office desk.

The box machine is probably one of the biggest and most intricate sets i'll have to build. I built the outside wall off the machine from MDF wood. This will be painted using hammered metal paint. Then I will wipe the shine off it and add brown boot polish to give the aged and rustic look in certain areas.

I think all of next week will be taken up finishing the machine, then there is moving conveyor belts inside and out to build.

Keep posted next week, I will add more pictures of the machine taking shape.

Thanks for your continued support
