Prop Making
As I was watching the clip that we are Swedeing, I noticed some key props like that fireplace and the table, and thought to myself, well, how could I make that? While directors do not normally make props, we are a small group, so I wanted to help out. Sweded films are low-budget films, and I do not think a real fireplace will be suitable for our budget. So why not just use Styrofoam? Or better yet, cardboard? So I started researching, well, how do you make a fireplace and a table out of those materials?
In this video, I can clearly see how to make a fireplace out of those materials. While it does not exactly look like the one from The Matrix, I can always just put my own spin on this design to make it look more film accurate. So far, after watching this video, I have been saving up packages and Styrofoam to hopefully start making the draft this weekend.
So, for this, I do think the table being that small isn't very convenient, but I will just have to do the work in the video, like 10x bigger and sturdier, as in the scene, the glass cup with the water must stay on top of it. But I will most likely make the smaller version of the table first to get a hang of the process.
