Final Wall

Finally, after much trial and error, we nailed the wall. Although we're yet to literally nail it together, it's in its final stage. Here's what the texture looks like under white light.

And here's what it looks like with the ladies' heads in it.

Wall Lighting Test

Test to see how the white wall reacts to color correction. We think that we may need to add an bit of gray to the wall to reduce blow out and darken the image overall. Both of these images have a 50% gray layer added to them.


Test to see how the shadows fall as if there were a head through the hole.

The diffusion is created by taking vellum, normally used for drafting, and double folding it. The lighting is top lit using a 2k.

Wall Attempt 2

Once we put together the foam boards we realized that the seams were a bit too obvious and distracting. So we went out and bought 3 big boards, and cut holes through them.

Then I got started painting stucco and creating the texture with toilet paper. Took me about 6 hours to finish it. I was able to build the texture exactly the way I wanted it. Success!

Building the head-selection wall

A friend of mine, Shyam helped us build the wooden framework. Today, I started gluing the plastic planks on to them to actually build the wall. Right now, it looks very flimsy, we may need to stabilize it somehow. The next step would be to stabilize it and then use paper, papier-mâché, toilet paper and primer paint to create the a rough, grainy texture, as seen on the story boards.

Meanwhile, Ariel Chisholm, another vizzer is working on surfacing/lighting the lotus.
