Brent Heyning will be speaking on the insiders' view of building everything in Hollywood for two upcoming events in 2008.  For those of you who haven't seen Brent speak live, meet him at Arisia in Boston in January or at the Memphis International Film Festival; On Location: Memphis. 

In preparation we are sharing photos from the archives for the coming weeks here on the blog and around the web.  Some of these photos are from films (see third at left, AI, and XMEN3 at the bottom courtesy of their respective studios).  Others including the Fountain Fall installation and bridges are all Toyshoppe Productions, from the Japanese details to the heavy wood construction.  Toyshoppe is currently new bridges and water art for Crustacean in Beverly Hills and preparing for a new stage show in 2008.

So one from the archives, you may not like the audio, but appreciate the LED light work that Brent facilitated for The Do Lab and Patrick Shearn for Burning Man 2006; the Flower and Flytrap, each over 50ft. tall!

Brent creates many unique lighting systems throughout Los Angeles including projection systems, LEDs and color-changing light, art and exhibition display, private homes and parties with water features and light.  Contact him directly if you have questions about a project for Toyshoppe Pros.

The Toyshoppe gets called in on many unusual projects, from models and miniatures on film sets (Resident Evil poster at right, Transformers truck below) to bizarre lighting and sound requests.  Brent did the decepticon tank in Transformers and is currently working on new robotics and orbital designs.

This year Brent Heyning is designing sound along with our work at the Pavilion in Black Rock City.  The OYA elemental installation will be open August 27-31st under the man at Burning Man.  Toyshoppe Pros Evonne Heyning along with Elizabeth Marley and Ryan Wartena from Growing Architecture are collaborating on a sculptural piece and aiding in the growth of art and expression in the Pavilion, a structure dedicated to green awareness and thriveable lives.

Toyshoppe Thursdays start this week!  Brent is hosting a movie night at the Sugar Arts Community this Thursday night!  Just south of Hollywood and west of downtown LA, east of Beverly Hills and Century City....RSVP if you want directions to our colorful ballroom.  Feature movie:  PeeWee! 

Videoblogs live from Sudanese survivors living in refugee camps in Chad will be shown from our friends at Camp Darfur/Stop Genocide Now/iACT.  You can watch them now online on YouTube and Google too.
