PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

workbenches, tools, storage, logistics
It's impossible to see all that stuff once the film is finished, but one thing is sure - there wouldn't be any parts of this film without it.

-The workshop- was situated in another studio. I've converted almost whole three room apartment to serve as a workshop for pre-production, and occasionally, during production.

-The storage- that other studio took the burdain of storage for all of the used props and the ones for much later use.
That place was completely fullfilled with all the props/models, unused materials and auxilliary equipment, after the shooting.

-The transport- It would be just perfect to put everything in a big van/truck and transport it in one, or two takes to, or from the studio.
However, these props, puppets and all the tools are a handfull, if possible at all, to pack. Everything's fragile, only a few things can even fit into proper boxes,
so high transport spaces were of no use. Also, there's only that much I could carry through doors and stairs, so no more than a backseat of a car was needed. And that
backseat travelled to the Moon and back.

-the camera accessories
I made this tilt device for animating the tilt frame at the time.
This stop-motion machine is actually a writting machine with extra long feeding cilinder.
-Workbenches etc
-I've used this old army steel profiles, originally for shelves, to construct the stands - benches, that can be moveable, yet firm and steady. Three of a kind.
And one frame for holding the backdrop in position. Additional profiles were easily attachable to benches, for various purposes.
-usefull junk- now, that's really something- day or night, working day or holiday, I had to have everything I might (*) need in the "arm's reach".
But, hey, there's been roughly a million things I "might" need!?
So, I needed some sort of "library" for parts and filing system, so I can find particular part when needed. Metal parts, plastic ones, wodden, glass beads,
rubber parts, paper/cardboard, textile, ribbons of all sorts... cylinders, cubes, discs, balls, sticks, big, small, long or short... Most of the those parts
were situated in the workshop's storage, neatly classified at the beggining. As the shooting progressed, I didn't have enough time to return unused pieces
in their propper boxes or drawers, so the chaos begin to creep-in. At the end, it was mostly mixed chaos that's left behind. The place is so filled up that
it's almost impossible to bring some order in it.
