So I had a very fun, very exciting week working on the nightclub that Wally and Spencer are going to, to scam on chicks. Pretty much the whole thing takes place at the bar. I decided to go with a blue theme because none of the other sets I've done for the series so far have had that color scheme and I like each episode to have a totally unique look and style. I've never been much of a set guy, I've always been better at creating the characters, but I feel like I'm finally starting to get the hang of it, and even having a little fun too.

The bar was pretty fun to do, it's just painted wood and styrafoam. I bought a few of the miniature bottles, but decided that I needed so many that it just wasn't in my budget to buy them all so I made a bunch more myself using baking clay and paint. The bottles that I wanted to look clear got painted the same color as the background. They don't look fantastic up close, but they won't really be in focus in the actual film, so it's all cool.



Once the puffin got his body and a more furrowed brow, he looked much more like I hoped, so I was pretty happy with how he turned out. As for the other characters hanging around, I just placed them in the shot to make it more interesting, that won't be where each character will be, besides, that's only about half the background characters.

Anyway, I should start animating on Wednesday, and with the right camera angles and lighting, I think this is going to be really great.

So here's a question for you all, what should I name the nightclub?
