In addition to being a general handy-person, I’m a maker of sets and props, and also a tutor at Toi Whakaari for the making of sets & props.
So it was nice to see one of my woodworking jobs quite a few years ago, featured in a viral video, of swan lake bath ballet (you can view the full video on Facebook, via this link).
The two baths feature pretty heavily, from 1 min 34 – 1 min 45, alongside two dancers from the NZ Royal Ballet.
My responsibility was the twin taps tower, you can see in the centre of the above image 🙂
Like with many of the movie props I make, and the many things I make that aren’t for the movie industry, I primarily enjoy the process of making each item to a high standard, more than anything else.
However it is always a buzz to see my work featured in often subtle ways, to a much wider audience around the world. And so it’s nice to share links to that work occasionally too.
