Others May Deceive You

When I wasn't working on painting the floor, there were plenty of other set pieces to be working on. In an early version of the set, the trees and circles were all on one platform. I traced them, using a projector and sharpie.

These trees did not make it into the final show, but neither did the colored circles, either. Paul, the director, made a technical choice to only show the black sides of the circles.

It was an interesting experience. I saw three versions of trees get scrapped before the final version. Those three were only the ones that the director (Paul Prece) and sceneographer (Tony Naylor) agreed were worth trying. Tony spent all summer coming up with concepts for the show.

Notice the trees in the background, and compare them to the trees I'm tracing in the two top pictures.
