Construction of the reverse bear trap
For Dragon*Con 2011, I decided to go big and re-create the reverse bear trap that Shawnee Smith's character, Amanda Young wears for her scene. My boyfriend has this amazing idea to use foam and poster board to make it all. I will try to post as many journal entries of my journey through the making of the reverse bear trap.
My first step: capture as many images frame by frame and put them all in a folder. Next, I am deconstructing the bear trap. I am drawing piece by piece on plain white paper and labeling each part. I am also sub catergorizing. For example, one one sheet of paper, I am going through the process of the upper jaw. I am seeing what attaches to what and how it attaches. I am also taking mental note of measurements, seeing how proportion each object is...
This is all I am doing for now. I will write more as I go along.
