Sets and Props 2

We move forward... with a pace unseen in the realm of lazy heavenly bodies!



To start where we finished last: Here is the second sign, which is in polish. We want to thank Piotr Zapart for the polish expertise. WiredFly has worked together with Piotr on the creation of an Agnostic Chicken fuzz pedal for guitar... (if any of the readers of this blog are interested in great guitar pedals check out Piotr's website:

On this site there's also some pictures of the Agnostic Fuzz pedal).



O sweet lord; Here he is – our man Anders Bøge Henriksen (who also drew the storyboard and a lot of the concept drawings). On this picture he is drawing the polish sign.



Johan & Herr Strandgaard working on the balcony door with great precision and concentration. May the lunar rays of infinite wisdom shine upon them as the conquer the winds of haste.



Jules is doing great work creating the lamps. On this picture we see his work station with different kinds of lampshades and lamps.

Here is a little video update from the WiredFly studio.

Sets and Props

Listening to fancy electronic upbeat music, the WiredFly crew is working steady and neat to finish the set and the props. Take my hand as I guide you through these four pictures.



During desperate and confusing times (and in lack of time) we almost decided to skip the building of the lamps. But then – inspired by the cosmic winds – we took a giant leap on the path to a great looking film and decided to make the lamps; fast and relentless. On this picture above Jules has just finished the first table lamp. AND ISN'T IT WONDERFUL!!! Let there be light indeed! Unfortunately Ellen pointed out that the kind of lampshade Jules made wasn't invented until the fifties... …by a Dane! O, the humanity! But he is working on new lampshades and lamps. Godspeed!



Here's the finished woodshed for the backyard. There is a newspaper on the top of the wood, that is an actual polish '39 newspaper that we printed down in scale and painted. It is hard to see, but in the left corner of the shed there is a little shelf, where upon there's two bottles. These two bottles was made for our project The Agnostic Chicken by Mette Bülow Duus; professional glassblowers from Aarhus, Denmark. The wood is made out of balsa wood and Styrofoam, and dry-brushed afterwards.



Nina is painting the cobblestones with a dark wash, as Johan is trying to figure out where the lamppost should stand. Speaking of which – it took as many interstellar thoughts to figure out how to do the lamppost – but then Johan & Herr Strandgaard come up with a new design that is both easy to make and looking mighty good.



And here's the finished “Achtung” sign for the German side of the wall. It is painted with a light wash and then the text is written with a Uni-pin fine line 0.8 felt pen. Oh yeah!

Set pt. 7

A quiet wind blows outside our studio. A bike is standing forsaken in the rain. An emptiness is roaming these shores - the WF.HQ is silent as the flight of butterflies.

Johan is making rubble to give the illusion that a house has been demolished.

Here we see the German side of the wall, without rubble.

In joy Johan is putting the barbed wire on the wall.

And here is the result. Perhaps we'll paint it, but perhaps it's awesome... ...time will tell. Time will tell.

Puppets pt. 5

We like to entitle this picture: "The Dangerous Duality of Nazi Mysticism", and it is a picture of the two finished puppets. Josef with his gun, and Karl making the Vulcan Salute; Live long and prosper indeed.

And here is the finished Grandmother. Isn't she a beauty... Women, some say age like wine, it matures with grace and beauty... until one point where it gets sour and lonely, but note that this hasn't happened to the grandmother yet.

A family portrait! The finished puppets together in rapture...

Behold; Ann sowing the costumes for the Grandmother, making it work, taking it across that one bridge, to quote the Macho Man Randy Savage.

Johan, in agonizing desperation.... gotta make that nazi Luger pistol (and gotta make it look good)... Will it happen? Will it look amazing? Will it be everything Johan has hoped it would be? Keep reading and watching!

Oh dear... wait for it.... wait for it....

Eureka! The finished piece! O, lordy...

WF.HQ 9

Strikes and gutters, says I! Herr Strandgaard didn't even make it to work today - he had to call in ill. Johan is getting better, and just recovered from her illness Chris came by today. Alas, yours truely isn't so fresh either... Strikes and gutters indeed! But we must document non the less:



(Here is the brand new entrence to the WF.HQ; we painted the door red and made fancy mossaic on it).



(And here is our new runner, Nina, working the windows).



(The famous shed, that once upon a time was black, but now it is painted sallow yellow-ish and washed with some fancy darker water-ish colour).

And last, a very discret snapshot taken of Johan in the midst of working on a Luger P08.
