Drilling Vehicle

I know...I know...it's been a while since my last post. I've been busy. It comes with having a job...and a family. Also, I haven't been able to post my latest stuff because it's all for films that haven't come out yet. But in the meantime...

...here's a design I just finished for a Victorian-style Drilling Vehicle (a la Journey to the Center of the Earth) for my friend who is going to build this, full size, in his front yard this Halloween. Check out his website www.socalhalloween.com. He's a director and Visual Effects Supervisor, and he builds these rather elaborate set pieces at his house for Halloween ...usually involving some kind of vehicle that's been hijacked by an animatronic skeleton and a crow. Last year he built a train that looked like it smashed through his house!

You have a beautifully insane friend; how nice to be a part of his mind bending holiday antics.

I love it! Very simple design w/ just enough secondary elements to give it a sense of reality.

Gregory Becker said...

I have to bring my daughter to that neighborhood for trick or treating, Of course I would have to cross five states to do it.

Sam Nielson said...

Is he going to have a motor turning the drill? Really cool idea.

Paul Lasaine said...

Sam,

If all goes well, not only will he have a motor turning the drill, but two more motors turning the grinding spikes (in opposite directions) as well as a motor to open and close the hatch, in order to reveal the animatronic characters inside.

Jason Scheier said...

This is so cool Paul! I can't wait to see this realized.. :)

David Campbell said...

Genius! Don't worry about the lack of updates Paul - there's enough here to keep us drooling for years!

Sean "It's a capital N actually" McNally said...

hi paul ..

awesome drilling machine.
makes me remember steampunk age.
cool rendering.!!

i get to understand that you work with dreamworks..
wow.. and specifically this must be the art and design section.

I read a feedback of yours in cookedart and you said you know nicolas marlet, he is my hero.. i bought the art of kungfu panda and went popeye!!.
i had to indeed wait for 7 months to get hold of the book though but the wait was worth it.

im from india and for long want to apply to great story telling houses .. i was planning to apply to dreamworks in bangalore..but heard that there aint no art /design/story division there.

pls do let know if you are coming to bangalore in some way like visiting the team here ( i know thats pretty silly to ask)...i would like to meet you
i have so much to ask. and if you wouldnt mind..can you pls take a look at my online sketchthread ?

this is where i beat the frustration.

Hi Mr. Lasaine,

My name is Kelly Tudor and I am a senior illustration major at Ringling College of Art + Design in Sarasota, Florida.

For my Portfolio class, we we're given an assignment to contact one of our favorite artists that are working in the industry and ask them a couple questions about their work, career, etc.

I really admire your work and would love to set up a time where we can talk over the phone. I would only take up five minutes of your time. I know you're a busy guy.

If you could get back to me at your earliest convenience, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you so much.

Sincerely,
Kelly Tudor
