Split Bathroom Scene
Here's
Ken's side of the bathroom. He's obviously shaving as he is
getting ready for the prom. I've included lots of
accesories that add to what I believed is a typical bathroom appearance
of a male in a whirlwind hurrying to go out. Truth be told, the
female's bathroom was no better!
I used a Mattel made sink/counter
unit. I spray painted the base black. I made towels and washclothes of
various sizes by cutting apart and rehemming a yellow washcloth into
appropriate sizes.
The foreground on the left shows a
wicker laundry basket. The clothes are wrinkled so it isn't clear
whether the clothes are clean or not. There's another pile of
clothes next to the basket just tossed on the floor. His tuxedo
is laid in the right corner across a chair which isn't visible.
The trash can on the right was made from a 35 mm film canister with
small shells glued to the top.
The flooring was constructed from a
large thick piece of foam core board in which I used peel and stick
laminate flooring. This bathroom featured a black marble
look. The walls were constructed from a thinner piece of foam
core board which was spray painted black. I used black faux fir pieces
to cut into the shape of bathroom rugs.
I painted gold diamonds as a wall
boarder and used black puff paint to add some dimension. I cut
out prints from an art catalog and framed them with wooden coffee
stirrers. The shower curtain is a two piece curtain. I cut apart
a real shower curtain liner and punched holes across the top. I
then cut a piece of gold fabric and trimmed it with some black
trim. Atop the trim, I added gold grommets and suspended the
shower curtain and liner from a drawer handle that I screwed into the
foam core board wall. I used plastic shoe cording as shower curtain
hooks. I threw a towel over the top to add some realism.
There isn't room for a shower, but the gathers in the curtain hopefully
added to the illusion I was trying to create.
The toilet was filled with water. I poured it in the competition room and added one drop of blue food coloring to the water. The toilet cleaning brush was constructed from a toothpick and small piece of pipe cleaner. The rolls of toilet paper were just cut and wound around a small cocktail straw There's a roll of toilet paper on the holder, which was just tossed on the floor.
The
top of the sink includes the typical accessories, such as a radio,
cologne, toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving cream cup, shaving cream
brush, and a bar of soap. I took a straw and cut away a piece
from a bar of glycerine soap which easily took a cookie cutter slice of
soap, perfect for the top of the sink. You
