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!

Props pt. 3

Herr Strandgaard is producing props fast and relentless. Beneath this text there's some examples of his latest achievements.



(this fancy furniture is gonna be in the livingroom, next to the balcony door).



(Kitchen stuff; a chair, a kitchen table/closet and a li'l pot).



(more kitchen stuff; a rocking chair, a table and some plates Sarah did).



(The stove with two pots on).





(Stove detail).

Props pt. 2.

Herr Strandgaard has finally finished his sewing machine. And since it is so beautiful done (and also due to the fact that it will be in the background in the apartment, and probably out of focus) I will post some detailed photos of it here for YOU to enjoy.

(Sarah taking the buildings to the next level).



(Johan and Tore talking about a "test-table" in the room where Tore has arranged all our POWER TOOLS and other tools).



(A work drawing of the bird done by Katrine. Unfortunatly the picture is out of focus, even though I have tried to sharpen it in photoshop).



(Herr Strandgaard working on the sewing machine for the apartment).



(Hanna modelling the head of the boy for the maquette).

Props pt. 1

Hereby a little update:
Things are progressing with the pace of horny lion! We are building props, sets 'n making maquettes. It almost makes one ILL to think of all the little things that needs love and care to be buildt - and then it's just some tiny background thing, ALAS - so be it!

(This is the empty and broken food trolley, that will be in the backyard. It's made by Sarah).

(An unfinished lightpole that will be on the sidewalks on the other side of the wall - notice the birdshit that's painted on it! Another prop by Sarah).


(Emil's wooden bucket for the backyard. It is carved in the famous balsa tree - which Katrine and Johan worked their royal arses off to find... BUT NOW IT IS OURS!!!).

(Emil's sheds. The one on the left is an outdoor toilet, and the one on the right is a firewood shed. (and in front of them the bucket!) The sheds are painted black for now - but when the backyard is finished we'll paint it a color that fits).

(Another great - yet unsharp photo by Emil of some maquettes IN THE WORKS! The woman on the left is Johans maquette of Yetta, the mother. The huge bastard with genitalia is one of the german soldiers made by Katrine. The last two is maquettes of Samek - also made by Johan).
