So @Omid had a fantastic idea, and suggested adding Statler and Waldorf figures to the balcony seats on the Vodville theatre. I love every bit of this idea, and thought why not go one further and fill up the whole theatre with an assortment of iconic movie characters?
Something that’s this much fun seems like it should be shared. So we’d like to invite the whole Hack Space community to play.
The theatre audience will be visible from above and behind when the movie is playing, but will also be visible from the front reflected in the screen when the house lights are up.
So if you have a favorite movie character and some 3d modeling skills (or even hand sculpting skills and know somebody with a 3-D scanner (hint: this last one is all of us)), do you want to add your personal touch to the East Van Vodville?
Here are the guidelines I am thinking of:
- Iconic film and television characters only (film is global, so the characters do not have to be recognizable to a western audience, but should be recognizable to an average person from its culture of origin.)
- Horror movie characters are okay, but they need to be holding popcorn (you can’t murder the small children watching the show with a bag of popcorn don’cha know )
- Tall characters at the back of the lower bowl.
- No modification to the existing seats, instead boolean difference the seats from your characters arse.
- The theatre scale is 0.018% of real life, or approximately 1:55 scale.
I’ve uploaded stls and step files for the seats here: Seatingfiles.zip - Google Drive
The balcony seats are wild (can be moved around) use the single seat for reference
If there appears to be strong interest, I can make up a seating chart so you can reserve your preferred seat.
