You may have to scale it to fit the person who will be wearing it. Be sure to print a slice across the cheeks to see if it fits. Once we received the 3D printed pieces from the librarian, I used a beige colored primer to coat all the pieces. In Shrek: Reekin' Havoc, he is the first boss in the level "Bad Pinocchio". He had taken Geppetto, the Fairy with Turquoise Hair, and the Gorilla Judge hostage under control of Lord Farquaad's ghost. Eventually he is broken free from the possession and becomes a real boy.

While he says he is a little boy, his nose grows and he is taken away by the guards while Geppetto leaves with a small amount of money. Pinocchio is one of the fairy tale creatures banished by Lord Farquaad. How to create the costume of Pinocchio from Shrek? At the very end of the cable, we needed a “handle” for the actor to use to slide it in and out, and to cover the sharp end of the cable. The next step was done with two people. We were using all of our hands so I don't have a photo of the process.

He appears on a wanted poster in the Shrek 2 PC game in a prison escape level featuring Puss in Boots. In the console versions, he's in the photo when you finish the minigame floating floors. Sanding: Nicholas did suggest that I sand the 3D pieces before painting. He said to go very light and easy, taking breaks, when doing so because the heat and friction could warp the plastic material. I had a different idea at first, because ours was 3D printed using brown 3D print material. I was thinking that if I used beige primer, and sanded just the outer layer of primer off that the dark brown 3D printing material would show through and look quite a bit like wood grain. That didn't work in the end, so I painted over the primer with spray paint and added the brown lines with paint markers. Yours might be smoother and slide even better if you sand it but, I didn't so I don't know. After reading the article about the engineering student who made her own Growing Pinocchio Nose, and watching the costume maker's video, I had a good starting point. Be sure to use the primer, paints and glue in a WELL ventilated place. You may still want a mask. Allow for several days, due to the dry times for glue, primer and paint. We actually let ours air out outside for a few hours.

I took a large paper clip and slid it down the length of the cable, then slid one end into the hole where the elastic attaches to the mask. I used needle nose pliers to make a kind of cage for the cable. I then just bent the rest of the paper clip onto the mask to hold itself in place. Pinocchio plushA talking McDonald's toy that giggles, says "Oh!", and "I'll never become a real boy!" It was released for Shrek The Third and Shrek Forever After. He appears in the queue on a wanted poster (much like the one from the first film). Pinocchio later makes a physical appearance in the pre-show, trapped in an iron maiden. He is threatened by the Ghost of Lord Farquaad to be turned into firewood if he didn't tell him about Shrek and Fiona's whereabouts.Come join the adventure as Shrek and Donkey endeavour to complete their quest, finding unexpected friendships and surprising romance along the way. Guards (12)- each: gray quilted top, silver pants, gloves, tabard, helmet, greaves (1 cape for Captain) Once that dried, I added the brown wood grain with acrylic paint markers, and pink cheek circles using pink acrylic paint and round tip sponge brushes. Shrek the Musical has a large cast, and our school adds a whole chorus and ensemble so that no one is cut from the show. Everyone is welcome! It is quite a spectacle but it also is quite a lot of costumes.

I taped the cable in place with masking tape towards the bottom of the suspenders, then wrapped the red fabric sheath around it to hide the tape. (I think every time I did this I used more and more tape. I ripped or cut the tape off each time when removing the mask at the end.)

How to Make a Growing Pinocchio Nose

Create a long nose using materials such as paper mache, polymer clay or a foam tube painted in brown. Attach it to the center of the shirt. Pinocchio was referenced several times in the series, with his most prominent mention being in "Shrek's 2016 Presidential Endorsement". He was going up against Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming for election as president of Far Far Away. His plan could be summed up with Shrek's insult, "I'm leaning to the left! I'm leaning to the right! Who's pulling my strings?" Next I glued the largest nose piece to the mask portion, and again allow to dry. I went over the outside and inside of the seem with an additional layer of glue. Our trusted advisor, Nicholas from the Library, recommended this type of glue for this seem. It worked very well but as he warned us, we were careful not to hold or pull on the nose once it was glued. Instead we always held the cheek portion to pull it on and off the actor's face. While researching the growing nose, I found several different photos, articles and ideas as well as some pre-made options. Stress and Fulfillment: It was cool and fun to make this, but also, at times frustrating and hard. I enjoyed brainstorming the different design aspects. But it was stressful to think that if my design failed, it could stress out the actors or cause a distraction during the show. In the end I found it very fulfilling, and was so thrilled that it worked. If this doesn't seem like your cup of tea, here again is that Costume & Prop designer with the Growing Pinocchio Nose for Sale. 🙂

As we’ve seen more and more in modern theatre, especially musical theatre a projection screen is used to enhance the performance and give the illusion of movement. This also really makes those set transitions almost seamless, and shows how technology is being integrated on the stage. We added a couple drops of cable lubricant to help ensure it moves smoothly. I waited to trim the housing and cable until I could fit it on my actor and be sure it was going to be long enough.

When we were ready for the next step we assembled all the 3D printed pieces together, nesting the nose pieces into each other. Next we grabbed the bike cable and cable housing. Using cable cutters, we snipped off one end of the silver cable, all the way at the end. Then you can slide the cable into the white housing. (NOTE: We tried to cut the cable using our pliers and it just mashed the cable. We couldn't find true cable cutters so had to go with bolt cutters. The cut end of the cable will be very sharp, and tends to whip around, so be very careful while working with it.)
