Romeo and Juliet's Production Design CCAD - Set

What's this that carves with deliberate ease slicing card into wondrous form, each cut a gentle persuasion
creating a life not yet seen. A lovers hold binds together conquering this what once was a blank piece of card. We had to recreate an area of the foyer at Cleveland College of Art and Design as part of some spatial design of which our final statue maybe situated.

A 3DS Max render of the CCAD Foyer

One of the Juliet mock up dolls and her home, the balcony of Verona where her love for her ill fated Romeo entwine in lovers verse. The balcony model was made from foam board. mount board with mirco mesh metal and wooden dowelling 

Another design for our fair Verona where two star crossed lovers meet tragedy. The design was heavily influenced by steampunk cogs and clock work. Heavy metallic golds where used to convey affluence of the church. the scene unfolding on the alter where lovers breathe one last word to end this play of plays. 

I thought it would be nice to but the digital model in a real world setting here it's composited into a real theatrical still.

And finally Juliet stands on her balcony of old Verona. The statue of prop, set and costume created by myself and the awesomenessness of Jessie Croft and Becky Degnan :)

What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.
(2.2.45-6), Juliet
