Olivier's Class | Episode 303 and 305

Here we're showing Claire trying to find her way in different media and sometimes stumbling. This piece is not all good-the puppet piece is supposed to be a complete fiasco. But that's because you're having to churn all this stuff out in art school and it's not supposed to be all good. Olivier wants them to be brave enough to fail.

Alan Poul- Executive Producer

 

 

To produce these pieces, I'd come in for meetings with the writer and the director and they'd give me a couple of pages of the script. I really knew what I was doing and why. The first time, with the tombstones, we had almost no time. I'd work on the set in the dark during filming, just working with charcoals or whatever they had there, running back and forth between shots to show them what I was doing.
I would go around and do the drawings from all the other easels, where all the other students were. Just in case they got in the shot, it was the right drawing, from that angle. And on the day of shooting, they had me come in to show the actors how to hold the brush, how to dip it in the medium. It was amazing. They went over every little detail.
