Silhouette Cutting At Zoological Singapore and Singapore Flyer

Did silhouette cutting for McConnell’s Family Day at Zoological Singapore; although there was a worm day, but I was happily to meet the friendly and nice guests. Other thatn that, met some old friends in this event as well liken popcorn provider May, airbrush tattoo and face painting Sheila and her team.Look! This is the white tiger which in the news recently!Basically, due to school holiday, many companies will pick almost the same day to do their family day, hence certain Saturday or Sunday became hot day for entertainer’s booking, and meanwhile we might be booked 2 or more shows within such hot days.

Usually, year end like November and December was peak period for lots commercial promotion activities, hence we could be having 2 or more bookings during week end. As an entertainer, you have to be compromised that your week end burned; because we belonging to the servicing group in the society as well, haahaa!

I was luckily that having 2nd booking at Singapore Flyer!

Some Backstage Job

Like many event entertaining items, my silhouette cutting also need to do some ‘backstage’ jobs which need to trim the papers and the background paper and put it in to plastic bags before I do the show.

Some artists only put the background paper in the plastic bag after they did artworks during the event. There’s nothing wrong but it reducing the quantities you are going to produce within the booking hour, that could be one way to ‘kill the time’, but I think that not so professional.

Except the background paper was given by the event organizer which printed with their event logos last minutes when I reach the working place, otherwise I always prepare them by myself before I go to the events.

The paper for me to do the silhouette or side profile cutting, usually in 1/4 of A4 or roughly about our palm size, so do the background paper.Of course I also prepared some A5 size background and the cutting paper for those cutting in couples. .Some event organizers was requested did it in A5 size as well.For my silhouette cutting, whether is in palm size or the slightly bigger size like A5 size, always inclusive the cut-out piece which is the reverse side of the original artworks. I usually put is in reverse side of the plastic bag.

Not every type of cut-out of the silhouette can be use, like the couples design, due to it needed to cut through the paper, hence it will be throwing away.

One Cut with 2 pieces!!!

Tried these difference styles that seldom people required to do it during event.
