Models as Visual Aids

Video Transcript

"Okay, another Visual Aide that you might want to consider is models. And I'm not talking about the type that walk down the catwalk. I'm talking about little figures of houses or buildings. This is something that you would see in the profession, in the field of maybe architecture or scene design, home building. Basically, it is a little tinny tiny reconstruction of what the big thing is going to look like. So it's a little bitty cardboard house. It's a little bitty city. And all of these to scale, which means, if they were blown up X amount, they would be the right size. Models are actually quite easy to make and you can use any number of materials to make them. You can use paper, you can use rocks, buttons, anything you have around the house, especially if you're talking about a scene design model or a model for a movie set or something like that. Again, be careful though because you want to use a model for a small audience. It's not really a huge thing, so it might be too small for an audience of five or six hundred. You might need to make it a lot bigger, if that, you know, you want to use a model for a big audience."
