Hello, Dolly has an amazing scene (choreography and dialogue wise) that takes place in a fancy restaurant called Harmonia Gardens. The choreographer wanted a small moment where a waiter skewers a cooked pheasant from a tray, which meant the prop needed to be light and reusable. We placed a funnel inside a foam piece to work around those guidelines.
Just starting the roughing process.
Once the bird got to the fine sanding stage. I joked that the base made it look like a family crest meant to hang on the wall.
The scene later called for a second stationary cooked bird and a separated leg. Here they are with a base coat of primer ready to be fiberglassed for extra protection.
This is the second bird dressed on a dinner plate. Painted it to get a roasted texture.
We ended up scrapping the leg before it could get painted, but the tech crew kept it as a potential prop for future shows. Here I am holding it for scale.
This was my first experience working with fiberglass, and honestly the process worked much more intuitively than I originally expected. I had a lot of fun sculpting and sanding these birds out. It was a great first step getting a feel for these materials, as I'll definitely be using them for future prototyping in Industrial Design.
