So today marks the start of semester 1 year 2 for me and I met with this years MSc Animation and VFX cohort and had a fun doing a quick 'show and tell' of some of my industry experience, funny anecdotes and mistakes as Art Dept Assistant on Judge Dredd http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113492/
I became adept at brewing tea shade to the exact specification of brown on the art department 'tea' making paint chart...but to begin with was not so great at figuring out that gun drawings, created for prop mock ups, with "1/4 scale" written on were in fact full size.
After six hours at the photocopy enlargement shop, I arrived very late back at the studios, with massive polystyrene guns protruding from my 'open top convertible' 2CV.
My caffeine deprived hysterical boss screeched "Have you ever seen six foot ****ing hand guns?!!!"
Errm.... That would be a no.
Here's a quick snap shot of me taken on the Wild Turkey set; for the scenes filmed with Ian Dury; where I managed to get some experience in Mega City one, sticking fly posters and generally littering for fun.
Oh and here's the best part of the film. I managed to get the task of drawing the door and corridor that Judge Dredd kicks in.
