While Stacy was busy painting the canvases with acrylic gel, I was talking with Ken Plume about the direction for the animation. The next hurdles would be to create storyboards and an animatic to detail the entire animated sequence, and live action bits in between.
The paintings arrived in an over-sized ~60" box a few days after placing our order with Canvas On Demand (opted for rush delivery). Each was neatly wrapped individually and stuck to each other and their box via thick plastic bands. After carefully unpacking the paintings and preserving the packing materials (they'd have to leave in this same box), we went about the business of taking reference photographs for the set dresser, and figuring out how we were going to texture these things.
