Prop Based Characters

I'm getting less burnt out on making straight up characters all the time by having characters that require elaborate props.

Dollhouse

Hello. And welcome to the guided tour of my dollhouse.
I recently helped with the sets, props and a bit of costumes for a music video for a Montreal/Swedish band, Thus Owls (I think my official title was Assistant Art Director). It was the best! I was put in charge of making a dollhouse for the head of the lead singer, Erika. It took me 4 days and at least 48 hours. I might have gone a little overboard. Please excuse the mediocre photos, the lighting in my apartment is terrible. I'm going to take better photos when it's nice out.

 Full house. Keep in mind: insert head.

Side house. Note shingle job, and flower box.

Top Floor dream bedroom. 

Bottom two floors. Note: yes, that is stucco.

I put a red LED in the tiny lamp for the video.

Bedroom detail. Note: family portrait, bed skirt, tiny pillows.

Kitchen detail. Note: tiny faucet, linoleum counter, stained stove.

Burned curtain.

Landscape painting.

Tiny little footprints. Note: I screen printed the wood floors.
