Making Molds

BT_MOLD-03_300w

Last weekend was an incredible opportunity to up my moldmaking techniques… not to mention catch up with an old friend and his family.   Rich’s shop is amazing (as is he) and Nora’s hospitality made it seem like a  professional workshop/B & B.  I would gladly sign up for another.  Here are some photos of the [...]

The Monk Gets a Makeover

Makeover_Head-Bald300w

I’m headed to Valparaiso tomorrow to start making a mold for the Br. Thomas makette.   He’s been in various stages of sculpy repair since I sculpted him over ten years ago so it’s time to immortalize him in urethane (he managed to take a fall off of our new piano only 3 days after [...]

Three by Spooner

Church Father01_Detail-300w

A special thanks to Natalie Lombard and Cathy Strokosch for hosting two separate “Get to Know Br. Thomas” evenings in the Chicago area.  Besides the great food and warm company I was able to pitch the story-so-far to two groups of people who’s insight on art, film, and faith I highly respect.  I came away [...]

Storyboards-Inside the Scriptorim (Part 2)

THMBS_DTL-ACT01.04B_HZ2-800w

Here’s the second part of the Scriptorium sequence, which means I’m done with the first act!!…for now anyways.  It will be a relief to get Thomas outside and focus more on story than atmosphere.

In the second half of the sequence Brother Thomas watches the dragonfly escape through a crack in the window.   His curiosity outweighs [...]

Storyboards-Inside the Scriptorim (Part 1)

THMBS_DTL-ACT01.04A_HZ2-800w

Boarding the first act in the Scriptorium has been much more involved than I first anticipated.  Mostly because the story slows down to take in a richness of atmosphere, introduce the characters and showcase certain details in the space.  I’ve spent a lot of time working out lighting issues, exploring a graphic quality for the [...]

Short Sequence

Baby Coos-TGUMBNAIL

This is another short sequence of panels that gives you a pretty good idea of how things pace out.  This sequence is at the center of the scene where the dragonfly invades the sacred space of the scriptorium and toys with each of the glass characters.  It seems that the infant Christ-child is the [...]

Unexpected Visitor

Intruder-THUMBNAIL

This is one of the storyboard panels that I got a little carried away with.  I can’t help playing with foreground and background elements…and then there’s those light shafts that make everything look better.

Stained Glass Apostles

One by One-THUMBNAIL

Here’s a sequence of images that I’ve been working on.  I find I’m doing more character design than actual storyboarding lately but I guess it all needs to get done at some point.  These are the Apostles that flank the right side of the Madonna and Child.  Eventually they will represent the specific apostles. They [...]

Silhouette

ClimbStool-Thumbnail

Here’s a short storyboard sequence that I like a lot.  Michael Spooner suggested we go for a silhouette on this shot and it really stands out.  It gives a nice break from the otherwise thick atmosphere of the room.

Scriptorium

Holy of Holies-Thumbnail

I’m still working through the boards in the first scriptorium sequence but I keep getting drawn into some of the more involved tonal sketches to get a better feeling for the space.   While it’s seriously slowing down my progress on the boards I’m finding all sorts of visual possibilities within the space (lighting, composition, etc.).  [...]
