Of
Resurrection commenced in early April
of 2005
|
The
ship pictured below was the first prop I started with. Believe it or not the
hull of the miniature craft was constructed with cardboard from a diaper box.
I worked on the ship in a hit and miss fashion and by late 2006 the ship,
except for a few minor details was completed. The
next project was the miniature cave set (below top left). It was built a year
prior to the construction of the fortress and it’s surrounding valley. You
can identify it just below the fortress in the mid ground (look close). The
fortress set consists of twelve separate segments and measures 8ft wide by
10ft long and about 3ft tall. To this day I continue to augment the set until
I am satisfied that it will meet the requirements needed of it. Much
of the preproduction work was carried out and complete by Donato Cocuzza and
myself. More than two years were spent crafting and building the various
items that I wanted to have available at our disposal once tape began to
roll. I was not planning on shooting your run of the mill fan film. My intent
was and still is to make a complete project. This one just happens to take
place within the Star Wars universe that we all cherish. Resurrection has been an all
volunteer endeavor ever since its conception and continues to be. Without the
support of dear friends a project of this nature would not have been
possible. I thank you all for your past and continued support. I shall
cherish it for all eternity. |

The
fortress was constructed from plaster of Paris, scrap metal mesh, and junk
lumber. |
We
refer to it as the S.M.C. -Sith
Moving Company- Nothing
shall be left undamaged. We guarantee it. |
Something
functional yet inexpensive, and best of all, it works! |

Now
clad in all leather and rubber. The look I was trying to achieve was getting
closer. |
Guardian
mask was a store bought item, then modified in similar ways as other items
that were purchased. |
Several
saber hilts were handcrafted in various grades according to their use and
character. |

Christina
Johnson played a vital role and made her character ‘Virus’ her very own. She
did a wonderful job. Thanks sweetheart! |
Finding
the right locations was a long and critical process. Several regions were
scouted, and few fit the bill. |
Early
conception of Captain Tiris’ makeup, but ultimately another crazy idea was employed
- a skin tight helmet was crafted. |
