The Chimney <
This
(real) chimney on the
left image was given to
me as a guide, or how approximately
should the fake chimney texture
look like, since the scene
was about to be shot at that
very roof. That is, if I recall
the whole story correctly.
I can't remember for which
film it was, nor I've attended
the shooting itself. I just
did the job. The model had
to be able to support two
actors sitting on the top
and climbing on it, so there
was a hard step incorporated
in the base.
Below:
a concept sketch
To
this day, I don't know if it blended
well together, or not so much... I
believe it was OK, since the scene
was to take place at night.The tricky
part was to match the colour from
the photo. I've photoshopped a bit
the image below, 'cause it looked
quite pale when I took it outside
from the workshop, to a milky daylight..
Above:
colour change on the daylight - it
is the same paint job on both images
Combined
image above: paint job looked
OK in the artificial light; However,
to the naked eye, it looked quite
as well in the outdoors. The discrepancy
became visible to me only by comparing
all these photos.
The
photo-split above: the model
turned out a bit pale (left);
It
should've rather resemble the photoshopped
(right) side of the image
