It is so great working with Mike from CollideEntertainment.com because I get pushed to do projects I have never done before. I had to help create 7 different sets for a @davidmorinmusic video.
Out of the seven sets I was worried the most about making a mine since we only had 2 days to build all 7 sets. I got it done! Of course with the help of some amazing film volunteers ... let's see how we built the mine.
I had no idea how to do this so researched YouTube and found this great guy who makes all kinds of amazing things ... you can check him out here: News Paper Rocks Video, Fake Rock Face tips Video
My sample to see if it was going to work ... I think it will do the trick.
So, basically here are the steps:
Pick an area and throw down a bunch of random objects,
Using newspaper, paper mache' all the objects, I did 3 layers (Fist layer: only wet the top side, all other layers you want paper mache on both sides.)
Let it dry completely
Paint it all black
Add a light grey colour with a dryer brush hitting all the raised parts
Go back with a dry brush with a dirty white and hit only the highest points. (do this quickly without thinking too much)
Hang it on your wall.
Many sheets drying
Next I needed to create the bones of the cave. The challenge with this was because there was 7 other sets I only had scrap wood to work with but I could not justify buying more wood so I used my pneumatic nail gun and scraped together a shape that resembled a cave.
nailing scraps of wood together to make the cave.
Started to hang all the sheets of paper
Started to paint it all black.
@SophyRomvari and I did the final touches to make the rocks pop.
The final Result with Lighting brilliance of @ByronKopman
