Designs for the different band members, each with their own personalities. It is becoming apparant that these shall no longer be sculpted figures, but paper cut-out figures to create a contrast between the Prigley character and the contents of the box.

More Development things
Lists of things to do and puns for book covers.
Two parts of set design drawn out by team member Hon Hou
Bits of Detail.
Scale test
Might be reconsidering the contents of the box. Instead of being sculpted figures, they could be paper-cut out elements.
More box colour schemes.

And so onwards.
A touch of book-binding.
A small scale book constructed from an inner section of polyboard and three additional cover elements cut from craft foam. First of many books with interesting names, puns and such in the spirit of Wallace and Gromit. Intended to be background detail and a reward to people who rewatch the film, should they choose to.
A little wedding ring made from a half-loop of wire. Shall be used for a sense of pathos in the film.
Sat at my work desk and had a sudden "Eureka!" moment. If he was once married and still loves the woman he lost, then surely he would still wear his wedding ring. Felt a bit embarrassed that this detail hadn't occured to me before.
A smoking pipe, another little personal detail and a prop for him to fiddle with to imply mannerisms. Sculpted from Sculpey polymer clay.
Half-moon spectacles, made from acetate and card, removable also. Tremendously fiddly but another nice detail.
Required in the storyboard.
Box Progress
In-roads on the miniature music box prop have been laid. Shall be made from a selection of elements. Sculpted (roof, base, contest), metal (hinges), card/wood (side panels, interior struts).
The construction of this will be the president for the full size prop, which is an ongoing construction project.
A Sense of Scale
Though it would be wise to measure the figure's heights for future reference.
