Snowdown 2022 | Out of This World Entertainment "Movie Knight"
“Movie Knight”
Taking place on a Hollywood film set, a director struggles to film a climactic final showdown between a knight and a fierce dragon. On-set antics ensue between the bonehead actor, hot-tempered director, and animatronic dragon puppet.
A work of blood, sweat, tears, anger, worry, expense, and exhaustion, the production of this float really checked all the boxes. Be that as it may, this project was my dream come true. For much of my life, I had always wanted to build my own controllable puppet, with inspiration drawn from movie creatures made by Stan Winston Studio and theme park animatronics made by Disney. With Snowdown providing a catalyst towards this lifelong desire, I decided to go for it.
The production of this dragon began two years ago. Originally, the float was meant for last year’s Snowdown, until it was cancelled. But as soon as Snowdown was announced for this year, work on the float resumed.
The story, as mentioned above, molded the design. An articulating dragon puppet needed to be constructed. It did not need to be hyper-realistic as many movie props are not and gain help in post-production. This puppet only needed a head and neck as something for a knight actor to interact with. The creature was planned and designed in CAD over 10 days. With only a month to produce the float from start to finish, I knew January would be busy. After a final design was settled, I began buying supplies and building the dragon.
The project began with a Styrofoam block. This block was expertly carved into a terrifying head by my sister, Annie. The inspiration behind the design was the dragon beneath the castle in Disneyland Paris. This is a slender yet angular dragon. One with an ominous presence like no other. After the head was sculpted, I sculpted the jaw. I had never sculpted foam before, but as challenging as it was, I rather enjoyed it. Next up was casting the head to create a sturdier final product. The Styrofoam was covered with plaste
Come see our float on Friday the 28th during the Snowdown Light Parade! 6pm in downtown Durango.

Genesis | SWCYC 2021
SWCYC 2021 was a major success!
The theme this year was Genesis, rather fitting after taking the conference online last year. Genesis marked 10 years of SWCYC - Southwest Catholic Youth Conference and a return to an in-person conference.
As always, it's a joy getting to work with LifeGuard and grow my storytelling skills through more complex projects.
A huge thank you to Holden Grace for his work on the short!
