oh wow, the mutantscope is really taking shape – i went in with the fine brush to cover up all the bits i’d missed and brushed it with gold to pick up all the little fibrous surface details – i’m back to enjoying myself again, huzzah! so, todays progress: the only thing i’m not convinced…
Category: Final Major Project
in a previous life…
… i designed monsters for Doctor Who: I’ve decided to have two mutoscopes, one working and one with an ‘out of order’ sign. i’ve also swapped the stands around. so, next steps: touch up and embellish the mutantscope increase the stand height of the original work out signage fix the barrels to the stands when…
getting there…
Well, I’m getting there. The mutantscope is taking shape and i finally got around to dealing with version one – lovely drippy waxy nonsense: the photos really don’t do it justice – now i need to find a sealer of some description, or just be very damn careful. Fixing it to the stand tomorrow!…
introducing the mutantscope
Mwhahahaaaa… the monstrous mutantscope, grown from a frankensteinian laboratory one lightning lit night…. or grown out of last weeks panic and made out of chicken wire and spray foam.

The original barrel was primed, sprayed satin black and then gloss red, giving it a deeper, cherry-red finish that made the whole look…
progressing…
The mutoscope is shaping up and residing at my house after the college exodus – now it needs priming, but first some shots of mod roc layer two… certainly shaping up… although the viewer needs some filing/sanding. so far, so good… vix
‘ello muto…
right, effectively my final piece is due…. (drumroll…) wednesday. Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa. I’ve been cracking on with SkinFlick, which will be presented in a mutoscope (a.k.a a ‘What the Butler Saw’ machine). This is what they’re supposed to look like: So far, this is mine; the plan is to soak fabric…
decisions decisions…
in reality, i only have a couple of weeks til i need my finished piece done…. arrrggggh. I was going through the proposal i did with one of the tutors today, and i’ve decided to forget the witch from the boiling sea section…. while i’ve done a lot of work on it the concept doesn’t…
SkinFlick Stills part two
Doing more work on skinflick, which is finally shaping up… it’s eleven minutes, forty five seconds long (both sections came in with a couple of minutes of each other, so i slowed one slightly and sped the other up), still as unlikely to go onto youtube, but again i have some stills to put up:…
