Inside Hoggworks

This is how we make puppets.

New Sets

As part of the whole ‘treating Hoggworks like a real company’ thing, I’m working out plans for multiple shows. Going to be the dotBoom, plus the Inside Hoggworks, plus some others. The plan is to create a framework which will allow me to easily shift between shows. As part of that, I present a big of a cross-post from the dotBoom blog, talking about ideas for set structures that I’m thinking about:

These are some quickie Google-sketchup images of the reusable set structure I’m thinking of for dotBoom 2.0, and all other shows I’m planning. There are details missing from this (doors and windows), and I have to adjust the designs to accommodate any other specific needs of the other shows (which I still have to figure out), but this is the overview: a series of 2-foot segments, each 9-10 feet tall, with a five foot set area, each segment to be re-arranged based on the look of the given set, with the visual elements clamped on top, removable and re-usable.

Modular. Extensible. Excellent.

And so far, I don’t see the Big Problem that will keep it from working. Hopefully there isn’t one.
