Song of the Whale 2008

I was involved in sculpting a 13 meter Southern right whale to be reproduced as five beached whale props in a German TV production. A giant fiberglass mold was taken and 5 whales where reproduced in fiberglass and urethane foam.








Once on the beach these sculptures caused much upset in the nearby towns. Much care was taken in informing locals that these are film props.

An article even appeared in the local newspaper declaring our explanation as a cover up conspiracy for real whale beaching.





 Red sky from a nearby mountain fire, the resulting smoke delayed filming for days.
