JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG

Though our set was primarily the courtroom, we had to figure out how to portray the other scenic locations throughout the play. We achieved this by using furniture, either pre-existing in the courtroom or pulled from off stage, staged outside of the courtroom area and projections to create a separation between the courtroom and the other places in our script.

Above is the ground plans for each alternate location

PAINT TREATMENTS

PAINT PACKET 2.pdf

A paint packet was created with renderings of the treatments, as well as step by step instructions based off of the paint samples. Space is included so that the packet may be printed out & swatched on.

PAINT TREATMENTS - WOOD

A huge undertaking for this project was the sheer amount of wood treatment that had to be painted to achieve the design. Completing all of the wood treatment took our team around 2 weeks -- but it was well worth it!

Wood Paint Sample

Final push of graining & stain application

Base Paint day for all flats and facing -- beginning of texture & knot pass

And in case you thought we were exaggerating - almost all furniture received the paint treatment too!

The outcome was gorgeous

PAINT TREATMENTS - CONCRETE FLOOR

Original Floor Rendering

We began by taping out the shape and hitting borders with our base color

We then applied the rest of the base with rollers

Completed Base Layer

Floor after Texture pass

Texture was achieved by watering down 2 shades -- one dark grey and one white -- and applying them in a spatter on top of the medium gray base, varying weight in different areas of the courtroom for depth

PAINT TREATMENTS - MARBLE

Marble Paint Sample

Both door frames received a base of black

A dark grey was used to cloud the black base, applied directionally, sprayed with water, and rag rolled over to create variation and depth. A high gloss white was applied with a feather to create the veining

Two final coats of an acrylic gloss seal were added to both doorways to mimic the glossy surface of actual marble

DOOR FRAME PLAQUES

NUREMBERG - DOOR FRAME PLAQUES[69].pdf

To create the two plaques that sat above the doorways, we utilized a laser cutter. This document was given to our wonderful Technical Director, Patrick Brennan, who then was able to simplify the design and upload it to the device for cutting!

We wanted to achieve a sort of "rubbed bronze" look to the plaques, such as above, with a warmer, gold finish

TECH NOTES DOCUMENTS

J@N SCENIC TECH NOTES (11_04 - 11_12).pdf

Communication is key! In order to keep open communication and clear expectations with our teams, this notes document was sent out each night after tech rehearsals wrapped up. High priority tasks were highlighted and numbered based off of the priority to be completed. These are all of our notes through the process!
