Donnie Darko rabbit design miniatures
Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2003 8:04 am
I hope costume design fits into this forum. It's my first post here.
The story on these is that I was recently hired to design costumes for the stage adaptation of Donnie Darko, which is premiering at Harvard's graduate school for theatre, the Institute of Advanced Theatre Training. My scanner's busted so I can't put up my renderings, but I thought some folks might like to see our 3D miniatures for the rabbit mask.
We decided to come up with our own rabbit rather than just trying to replicate the rabbit in the film. We made little miniatures of the head from polyclay, painted with acrylics and overlaid with leather, so that the director could see in 3D exactly what the rabbit would be like (better than on a 2D rendering) before we spent several days making the fullsize mask.
Here they are:

The second miniature of the 3 is the one that will be the final design.
