Before you call Horatio Caine, the heads not real! It's this weeks quick job for a cosmetics company info-mercial. We didn't have a huge part in it, but a part nonetheless! It was totally straight forward, which is a really nice break, everything laid out in black and white.
We basically just had to fabricate a telescoping aluminum pole, in a brushed finish, that the various heads could attach to. I think for hair-cutting, as per all that hair in the head bag I guess.
I had our little Techno lc3024 cut all the various reducers and caps from 1/2" rigid pvc.
It would've been o.k. except for some reason I decided to draw the original pieces for some kind of magical telescoping pole that doesn't exist! So I had to recut them. Weird.
We had B&M Welding do the aluminum welding for us. We have moved into the world of welding now, but aluminum I save for the pro's. Once the second round of reducers, that actually fit, were cut, the assembly was a snap. The pole will bolt to a raised platform via the flange in the picture.
The other portion of the build was the company's logo for the back wall of the set. We cut these from 1.5" styrofoam. No need to hardcoat, just a few thick layers of latex primer and paint. My kinda letters! We'll fasten these to the set wall with some light-weight double sided tape.
We install tomorrow around 10 am, but as the studio is right downtown in the city we'll be leaving early for sure.
Well, I guess I need a break from getting up at 11:00
