Beauty and the Beast is a wonderful show that was to the delight to many in the audience young and old. A technical and logistical challenge, this is the first production I was able to test out some of my early modelling skills and how best to use them effectively. Forced perspective, hidden doors and traps aplenty in the castle to rolling grand scenery on a turntable, we were still able to make sure the audience could 'be our guest' on Opening Night!

Beauty and the Beast Post show. Shows the scale of which some of these ambitions were realized. All of the castle is also on a turntable to allow for the forced perspective rolled wagons to be brought in for various scenes.
