Castle Set Design

Sophie has finished the Castle Design. The first design she did I thought was a bit too straight and sturdy looking, and suggested making it a bit more crooked and sinister looking.









I really love the final design, but I think the scale will need to be adjusted, which I spoke about with Elliot when I saw him today to talk about sets. We both agreed that the castle will need to be taller to accommodate the 30cm tall Troll King. 

The meeting with Elliot went well. We discussed the set design and Elliot is excited about building it. We discussed how the set will be built, and have decided a fairly thin board would work for the base, and the castle will be build with cardboard and modrock. Elliot said he will be doing some material tests this week to work out the best way to do the path, grass and trees, and he should have the set completed in two weeks.

Unfortunately, Sophie has been offered an amazing opportunity and is now unable to design the last two sets, so I will be needing to design these two, but Sophie is still good to draw up the storyboards.
