"My first set up in the storage room in the basement... I soon realized I would need more space. That's when I took over the basement! Thanks Scotty!!"
Three shots of the set I built in the basement living room. The set is built out of scrap wood from a local construction company, Mara Construction. 12 - 2x6 boards and 2.5" screws were used. Equipment provided by the Filmpool.
Here is a series of photos of the making of "chicken", who was originally based on the Prairie Chicken but later became a Ruffed Grouse. Prairie Chickens no longer exist in Saskatchewan - but the Ruffed Grouse does. Ms. Ruffed was made in honour of a Ruffed Grouse who tragically hit our living room window a couple months ago. We gave thanks.
Here is a series of photos of the making of "Aunty Fox", a wise forest midwife who lives in central Saskatchewan. All puppets were made with paper and recycled cardboard. The drawings are done with pencil, watercolour pencil crayons and fine black tip markers. The puppet skeletons are made with a combination of Popsicle sticks, foam core, elastic, wire and hot glue.
The making of Ms. Ruffed's fear of foxes.
This series of photos were taken during a late night shoot of the interior of AuntyFox's den.
I don't have many shots of my work space. I set up the storage room downstairs are a workspace but the only part of the project I worked on down there was the script. It is too cold in the basement. Everything else was created upstairs in front of random television series on Netflix. I found out that some series work good for this, others do not. If you'd like to try this, I would suggest starting with "Heroes". Sets the imagination going but easy to tune in and out of. Foreign movies not so good, although they can be wonderful for creative inspiration - its just too hard to read all the subtitles, especially when you're actually supposed to be creating art. This photo of of my workspace at around 3:30 am on Monday January 9th.
Filmmaker Angela Edmunds shot her puppet film at the rogue shoot stage in Qu'Appelle Valley PuppetWorks, Saskatchewan, Canada.
