Shrek Magic Mirror

I have been making props for a while, but I haven't posted much of it. I decided to start getting more involved with the community. So I'll start by sharing a project my son and I finished last night for his drama class. He is in Jr High and has to recite the Magic Mirror monologue from Shrek. I made him this prop to help set the scene! (I made it large so we could use it after the project. I plan to put a video screen in it and actually have it display an animated face.

It is made from EPS foam, with a 2 part polyurethane hard coat.

 

Nice work, looks great!

When I was a theater kid (and then into college), I loved this kind of stuff. Made the projects so much more fun!

 

Wow! This is such a cool project. Your son is lucky to have such a talented father....like having your very own prop department in your home!

Also, making a realistic prop from an animation is something I will have to give more thought to. This opens up a new range of great ideas.

Looks great already. Would look even more magical with the face in the screen.
