THE MAKING OF A CUSTOM MADE SHADOW ART EXHIBITION
This is the process for a show we have build for the Beijing Light Festival in 2018.
I teamed up closely with my beautiful friend Gina Arganese. Every drawing are done by our hand first, than vectorization of each one. I'm doing myself the mockups, working on Photoshop and Illustrator to prepare our shadows for the laser cutting. Then, we can manipulate our drawing in their real 3d shapes to play and build our magic shadows carousels.

Every drawing are made by hand. Building a show is about 600 hours of work.
