MICHAEL JACKSON 'Scream' music video.Specifications: Three 4'tall painted porcelainvases with plaster base add ons.
Materials: Porcelain vases with plaster bases added on and painted.
This was fairly simple. Starting with large, real porcelain vases, we added on bases and gave them beautiful black paintjobs. Each vase was shattered with pyrotechnic charges with the hockey pucks added in post production, so they would 'hit' the vases at the perfect time and angle. Earlier than this job, we had painted a series of breakaway glass vases for Hot Shots 2 with that wound up not being used. Real porcelain vases were substituted when they were found to respond much more dynamically (with sharper, more interesting fragments and movement) to the pyrotechnics shatters.
