So we've been diligently working between the jail and jmo cutting out all the members of the structure. We've only a couple base pieces to finish before we can assemble them and the legs are glued up and ready to be finish sanded this morning by Niezer, Gyllenhaal, and lil niezy. The joints of the [...]
Month: November 2010
On the 11th Day of November My Studio Gave To Me…. Less Days to Build.
Tick...Tick...Tick...Tick... This is the sound of the clock running down to the Citizen Architect showing in Canon Park on the 18th of November. Which also means we are running out of time to get the movie screen up and ready for the showing. All of Studio V is running wild trying to get everything set [...]
8 DAYS and counting…..
Well we officially have 8 days until the premier of Citizen Architect! A photostory of what we have been working on: Below is an awesome wood texture that we found today at JMO on one of the pieces of wood we were milling down! Which reminds me.....the next time you go to visit our structure [...]
“Redneck” Knowledge
I grew up in rural South Carolina, in a small town called Sharon. Growing up in a “lower income” town compared to a richer suburb or downtown allowed me to see how people improvised to make ends meet when they couldn’t afford the luxuries of life. Where I am from, most of these people are [...]
Busy, busy, busy
No time for a long post this evening. Things have been full speed ahead at JMO this weekend with no major hiccups along the way. Hopefully the rest of the road is as smooth. I'll leave you with a great little video I find inspiring. Massimo. How can you not be a bad ass designer [...]
tis the season… of the flu.
Flu... bronchitis... sinus infections... pick your poison, because with a small studio of 11, it only takes one of those bad boys to really ruin your day and with only twelve days left, we cannot kill any progress or motivation on project two. Having the early signs of the flu and knowing that it spreads [...]
Half empty or half full? What do you think?
Greetings, 13 days left until the big day. Allow me to repeat myself; 13 more days left. I think that as we draw closer to our deadline, the number of days left in which to finish grows more and more apparent in our minds. Up until this current week, I’m not sure any of us [...]
Mediocrity… Not on my watch!
Rest assured that Studio V is not building your run of the mill, mediocre, outdoor-mobile-movie screen. (with custom trailer)
Unitary is spelled with a V.
Construction strikes a balance between what is drawn on the board and what can actually be realized. But it does not stop there. In an effort to achieve a unitary architecture, there are many pieces that help to produce a single, final product. By stripping down the excess, peeling away layers, and consolidating ideas, a [...]
“Don’t Take Off Your Architect Hats Yet…”
Last night we took our first trip up to JMO Woodworks to begin the production process. We milled and glued the repurposed wood in preparation for construction, and had our first experience using epoxy to brick lay our pieces and clamp them into one big block for fabrication. There were eight of us there for [...]
