About Me:

Hello my name is Brian Weeks I am a senior here at Sam Houston State University. I am majoring in a Bachelor of Fine Arts with the specific emphasis in Technical Theatre. After graduation I plan on pursuing further education to receive my Teaching Certification in order to teach in public schools. I would like to work in the teaching field for a while before perhaps broadening my education and returning to college by getting a Masters Degree in Technical Directing. Included in this site are a collection of photos of mine that show some of the carpentry and metal welding and fabrication that I have done in past shows for the SHSU Theatre as well as photo images of computer work that I have done in the past year.

Photoshop Class Work

Working with Adobe Photoshop gave me a new outlook on how to manipulate objects and how to transform them. I used tools such as vector art to create wallpaper, and tools for a different perspective which work in different ways such as filters. These filters create a different outlook or texture from that of what you were creating.





























Class Work





















Marisol

The wings that are shown were fabricated from aluminum conduit/pipe. Some problems that were faced in the fabrication process were due to the height of the wings being approximately 8ft tall and finding the center point or midpoint where the weight was distributed from both sides equally so that the hinge may be able to lift the weight of the upper half of the wings themselves.





















The Full Monty

In my work during building the set for The Full Monty, I feel that one of the things that I learned most of all was how to be able to function and weld with people and things moving past you in a smaller area than what I was accustomed to.
