Production for The Pet Rock has Begun!

Well, I'm back at college.  With everything starting up, I was able to shoot the first shot today after working on a few set pieces for the film.  It appears this one will be a little more complicated than "The Booger Monster."  One particular challenge is the pet shop.  I can't have the pet shop feature just the pet rock and the fur ball.  It has to appear somewhat populated and at least resemble a typical pet shop.

First, I started with the front counter.  I bought a nice variety package of balsa wood from the Hobby Lobby.

I marked where to make the cuts to make pieces for the counter.

Using a hot glue gun, I put all the pieces together.  It looks more like a table because I plan to use it in the future as a regular table.

For Christmas, one of my sisters bought me this nifty package of foam texture.

 To make the table look more like a counter, I covered it with the foam.

I also had to quickly put together a sign.  Yes, the wizard from "The Booger Monster" is returning.

I also had to build a pedestal for the pet rock's cage.  Nothing too fancy, just a bunch of cardboard put together by a hot glue gun.

Here's the final display for the pet rock.  The plastic box is from the Hobby Lobby.

Here is the entire population of the pet shop.  The pen for the fur ball was designed to break away, so that I can get some interesting angles from the inside.

That's all I can share for right now!  Thanks for reading and may God bless you!
