Scenic Painting 2017 at Scenic Oasis

On April 1 2017 I took up the role of Head Scenic Artist at Scenic Oasis Film! I hadn't had an actual ongoing Job since 2008, so this was a big change. I began freelancing for them in March 2016, painting sets and props, mainly for commercials. Working in film for a scene shop I have learned a great deal about scenic paint skills as well as construction, installation, and the process of film shoots. I lost count of the number of commercials we did over the past months, but here are a few I was able to track down, with some behind-the-scenes photos.

Chiquita Banana - Sun Announcement
Production Designer - Athea Boyes

Chiquita Banana took a pretty funny approach to the solar eclipse of August 2017... we did the sun and the moon out of styrofoam, and I painted the floor to match the giant backdrop. 

Duracell Christmas 2017 
​Art Director - Pedro Romero

Duracell's Christmas commercial for 2017 was a really big project for me: all the shelving was painted, the floor was huge, plus the plaster-finish walls, a stone fireplace, and a variety of other items. This commercial was shown in Canada (most of what we do is not) so it's nice to have people see my work.

Hershey's Cookie Layer Crunch - A World Without Layers
Production Designer Katherine Reynolds

For the Hershey's commercial we made a "lava" table, using Plexiglass, tinted Versagel, and painted Polyurethane. It was altered quite a bit in post-production computer graphics but you can still kind of see what we made.

Xfinity xFi - Dinnertime
