Window. We'll be shooting through the larger aperture

Just some background about UPVC windows that means we'll need to paint ours to make it look like wood(or at least make it look less like shiny PVC) I suspect, as white double glazed UPVC windows wouldn't have existed until the mid 70's.





The Development of PVC-U Systems
PVC-U systems were introduced into the UK from Germany in the late 70s to early 80s and became extremely popular during the 80s. The German profiles were designed for tilt/turn windows and tended to be bulkier than the timber profiles of the casement windows they replaced. However, as the market developed, slimmer profiles specifically for UK style windows were produced which closely emulated existing windows and gave improved performance.

In recent years advances in extrusion technology has enabled even closer matching of windows with shaped and sculpted beads, horns on sliding sashes, etc. In addition, special foils can be laminated on to the surfaces of profiles to give a range of colours and finishes. Long-lasting surface coatings have also been developed to give a wide range of colours

Replacement windows can increase resale value and energy efficiency. Several types of typical windows are listed and discussed here.Wood windows were used from the early 1900s to the present but became less of a mainstay of the industry in the 1960s. They are prevalent in the Northern United States. Steel and aluminum casements and Steel Vertical Operators were used from the 1950s through the 1960s. Aluminum windows were used in the 1960s through the present. Vinyl (UPVC is also known as Vinyl mw) windows were established in the 1970s through the present. The last decade has also seen the admission of composite materials such as fiberglass and vinyl-wood-polymer type products. source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replacement_window
We had a chat about some of our goals and set a few actions. Ian is to look at Google sketch and see how the window we (Sascha and Amie) have acquired might work compared to the initial tests we've made. We are all looking at garments and discussing those, and we intend of catching up with the options tomorrow (as we all have to complete more casting). I hope to take Ian and Lucie somewhere that we can do some serious casting! I'm going to look at the timetable and see when we can all get together and finalise the costume/fashion/hair and make-up issues.
