| --Jordu Schell's Intensive Workshop |
Last week we had the pleasure of having a very talented sculptor hold a three-day seminar here at Douglas. Jordu Schell, owner of Schell Sculpture Studio in California, spent three eight-hour days with students from our special make-up effects and film programs.
Schell Sculpture Studio is a full-service sculpture and design facility specializing in props, creature and character design, prototypes for toys and model kits, as well as general special effects work.
Mr. Schell has been a designer of film and television characters for over 15 years, and has worked on numerous projects including: Men in Black, Planet of the Apes (2001), Batman Returns, Edward Scissorhands, The X-Files Movie, Predator II, Galaxy Quest, Evolution, My Favorite Martian, Alien: Resurrection, Babylon 5-the series, The Guyver, Bedazzled, and many more.
Our students had the unique opportunity to listen to Mr. Schell talk about his experiences in the business, and watch him do a speed sculpting demo, as well as a maquete demo. Mr. Schell also did a question and answer session with students. He is just the first of many guest speakers we are looking to have at Douglas.
Thank you to Mr. Schell and we hope to see you again soon.
Some student comments:
"Great information about the working industry today."
"It was good to see someone from LA and how he goes about things, his techniques."
"Very talented individual."
"What he said helped encourage me and make me even more certain that I made the right decision to make this my career."
