WF.HQ 8

Johan and I are fighting against a vicious illness, that has dug its wretched claws into several members of our crew. Where is the famous Dr. McCoy when he is needed? Where is Nurse Chapel? And where is Jesus Christ? Well, we shall overcome non the less.

Johan, Herr Strangaard and Steffen are still racing against time to finish the set, and one could now see the potential in Dr. Septimus Pretorius (from James Whales' Bride of Frankenstein, 1935) – who creates small weird people in glass jars who, if disciplined, could help build our set. Or maybe we should look to Bob the Builder... or that guy who invented the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park?

When not deprived of healthy energy or time Johan's looking for a motion control for the camera. (This is a strangely esoteric and troublesome task, I can tell you). More on this as it develops.

And why, you might ask, is there no pictures in this post? It is hard to tell – it is hard to tell. Well, for now there's not much more to say, then happy Monday.

Sets pt. 6

The spaceship Event Horizon (from the 1997 film of the same name) - disappeared beyond Neptune in 2040. The ship reappear in a decaying orbit around Neptune in 2047. The ships unique feature was that it was able to "bend" time and space and leap to any possible destination...
When the ship reappear it is discovered by Dr. William Weir (played by Sam Niell) that Event Horizon has payed a visit to HELL. Slowly the Event Horizon starts to get to the various people involved in the film, and in a diabolical and necro rage Dr. Weir watches as they fall like flies.
Why am I writing this?
What is the point of this?
Well, I guess it's just an observation that every now and then things doesn't go according to plan - and even though people and things can venture to the realms of hell one must pull through and wander towards the brave new world with good intentions and a open mind.
Thus things are progressing with the new set, and we are happy to show these pictures of the transmutation of the backyard set.


Here Johan & Steffen are glueing on THOUSANDS of foam bricks onto what will become the wall seperating the jewish ghetto from the German side.


On this fancy picture Johan is making a hole in on of the buildings so that it might look like it has been bombed.



Our plan was to build the whole backyard set in three weeks. This is the result of the first week.

The result of the second week.

And finally the result of the third week. As you can see we didn't finish it in three weeks... so we failed....... But we will preveil in the end!

Johan desperatly trying to finish the set... ...in time!

Sets pt. 5

Bees, like ants are fascinating things... unlike the domestic cat - whose lazy behavior is preposterous and a travesty upon the working mentality. Tore, Johan & Steffen has been / and still are working like the famished aggressors of the deep oceans. And I indeed are working on the sheds - and helping out with the molds. Take my hand, and follow me on this little four-picture journey through the set building.

BEHOLD!!! The new wee model of the backyard, made by Steffen. This li'l beauty will help us a lot in the making of the actual backyard. The sky behind is a print of Else's sky in the right scale according to the wee backyard.

Here, Johan is working on the backyard set. The clever observer will notice the weird duck-tape formation on his hand. Alas Johan, in a split second of unawareness cut himself with the hand saw.



Tore drilling in screws on the backyard set. (Let's all take a moment and wish Tore good luck on his new school)... May your days be glorious - and may your beers be cold.



Steffen calculating infinity... ...perhaps? In the backround Else is painting the gigantic sky-picture. (When talking about this picture, one must keep this in mind; It COULD actually kill a grown man if it chose to fall on him). But let's hope it doesn't. Stay tuned for more WF-activity... And may the Queen of Denmark bless us with her omnipresence.

Our man, Asqes, smiling as he leaves us to venture into the unknown (or rather to the isle of Sjælland to visit his father). With the promise of returning one day he left our studio one rainy Thursday afternoon. One might notice the rather "dead" look in Asqes' eyes... that is because I painted them black to cover up the red spots in his eyes caused by the camera flash.

In the words of Vera Lynn we send our regards to you, young prince:

We'll meet again

don't know where - don't know when

but I know we'll meet again

some sunny day.

Here's a picture of my little sister, Lærke Arberg Kastrup making the barbed wire. She has been working as Asqes' assistant and as a substitute runner in the absence of Asqes. May your work on this production be glorious! Welcome aboard.

And lastly a picture of Herr Strandgaard - who when this picture was taken didn't do much running. Working on the props - his mind became foggy and his eyelids became heavy. Perhaps it was because he was working on a bed for the apartment, and he himself wanted a shrinking machine (working in the 1:5 scale) - to shrink him so he could sleep in the comfy bed. Alas, reality seldom satisfies the tired mind, so taken refuge in the slumber realm we found him asleep in this chair, the two handsome directors found on a dump-yard.
