Final chalk board props 'over-sized school items' game round of 'Teach Em' a Lesson'; Produced by the Television Production students at UCA.
- Made entirely of of MDF, therefore cheap to assemble
- Wood grain made with scenic painting techniques: A rocker comb and layers of paint and washes
- Drawn on with chalk afterwards for authentic writing style
- Rounded corners: Much safer than the sharp, square corners of the MDF before being rounded off.
I'm really pleased with how these turned out in the end, as they look quite authentic. The grain-effect came out well, and these are one of the props I'm most proud of. The only criticism I would have is that they were a little heavy; maybe a lighter wood could have been a better choice? I don't think foam would have had the right consistency, and wood was already the right shapes I needed in order to form the base and the borders for the chalkboards, so in this case a kind of flat, light wood was the ideal material.
Credit: This was a prop I completed on my own, as similarly to the axe prop, not a lot of work was needed to get these from a start point to completion.
