Tools of the Trade / Fake animals and blood
« on: Sep 25, 2007, 01:24 am »
I am hoping someone on this site has some good ideas about making fake animals.  I am doing props (usually I stage manage) for Bat Boy the Musical.  I have to make a goose that has it's neck torn off with blood.  Also a rat and rabbit and a severed cow's head.  I have theories on how to make these items but in practice my theories never seem to work.  Thankfully we are not going for too much realism with the cow's head and the director has requested that we use red ribbons coming out of the neck.  But..... how does one make a cow's head when I have no artistic ability.  My thoughts are to make a frame out of chicken wire and paper mache it.  Thoughts and suggestions other than telling me I am crazy to have signed up for props before even reading the script.....  Oh yes another thing and please don't laugh...... I have a $75 budget.  Thanks for any and all help.

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / PROPS: The Seagull

OK, so I posted a question about The Seagull attaching it to another topic...... whoops..... it is early in the morning.  So here's my problem.  I usually Stage Manage but have been asked to do props for Chekov's The Seagull.  I have to create a dead seagull...... my idea is to get a large white sock, form it, stuff it and then add feathers to the outside.   Does anyone have any other ideas.  The seagull has to be dragged across the stage.  Love to have some suggestions.  I also have to purchase a stuffed seagull.  Does anyone have any sources.  Thank you.
