Mini Builds + Shadow Studies
For my Industrial Design and Animation class, I had to build a mini model out of one material only, and then take an interesting photo of the shadow. I’m proud of my first model, I like how neat it is, but I didn’t get an interesting picture of the shadow. I love how the second model’s shadow turned out.
Fish Sticks and Tater-Tots
The second play I helped produce this summer was another original, but this one was set to music with no dialogue. The playful chalkboard look represented the homes and classrooms of the childhood setting. I helped build and paint the set, and designed the costumes of the parents (2 hippie parents, 2 sleepy moms, 2 sporty parents, 1 single dad, 2 supportive dads, 2 military parents and 1 single mom) while taking into account that I had a 5 minute scene with all parents rotating in and out and only 5 actors to play them all!
this jumpsuit is the same as the janitor, so i added a vest to distinguish his character
this bus driver outfit used the same base as the single dad costume
The Betrothed
A Mile Square original written by Chris O’Connor in the commedia dell’arte style, I helped produce this play for my summer internship. The setting of the play was old Italy and I aided in the design and making of all the sets, building up walls and painting flats. I also created the costumes for the characters Don and Dona Pantalone (pictured in red, representing their wealthy status), and Captain Spavento (pictured in gold showing his love for drama.)
You Can’t Take It With You
I just started working on You Cant Take It With You as the set designer.
Skills USA – Additive Manufacturing – Toothpaste Dispenser
I was chosen by my Industrial Design and Animation teacher to participate in Skills USA. My partner and I made a toothpaste dispenser using a Geneva gear and a peristaltic pump. We finished in the top 10.
Stairway to Storage
In my Industrial Design and Animation class, I made a storage unit for a desk. The poster below is of my original model, first the prototype, then designed it in Inventor, and used the laser cutter to create the final product. I redid the project, fixing my mistakes and making the structure more solid. I intend to make a third and final model where all the kinks are worked out.
