How Much Time to Produce A Silhouette Cutting?

Talking about silhouette cutting, we required how much time to produce a simple hair style silhouette cutting? By us a palm size paper, my speed about 30-40 second, in a very slow cutting way, no reason to cut a silhouette more than 60 sec, unless the guest's silhouette having real complex style.

Silhouette cutting is emphasize on the feature of the side profile portrait of the guests face, it is an outline observation, the silhouette is cutting the outline to produce the artwork, within a minute is a reasonable time frame, I not talk about how many second to produce an artwork. 

In my view, in an event which having a booth and there are a queue of guests, producing 30 cuttings per hour should be reasonable speed and my speed about 45-55 cutting per hour is if such setting.

Not like caricature drawing, you need to draw the face shape, the eyes, nose, mouth, the hair style..etc. 

Unfortunately, I saw many other people who do silhouette cutting in Singapore during various event, they spent 5 minutes or more time for a cutting! This mean they either had not put effort to work hard, do not have the skill and think can just do it and most guests do not know what is going on so they can any how cheat!

Filming for TV program

Got a chance that doing my silhouette cutting demo for a TV's educational program in coming next year.

It was an exited experience because this time I got to do some explanation according the script. 

One of the Roving Silhouette Cutting Job

Did roving silhouette cutting at the field at Marina Bay last month, for one of the NTUC event under event company's engagement.

It was one of the biggest event I do up to now ;p

I always try my best to do the cutting within 1 cut, so both pieces of artwork can be given to the guests ;p

Silhouette Cutting for a Private Party

Did silhouette cut for a private party weeks ago. For this event, client had asked me if they can have a copy of the artwork as well besides giving to their guests, so I suggest stack 2 pieces paper and do the cutting, one pieces jeep by the guest and the other piece let the guests put their name and paste on the board that provide by client.

Thought the outcome is interesting ;p

However, due to 2 pieces paper stack together for the cutting, I need to put more strength to cut the artwork out. Anyway, it was a fun experience.

My Silhouette Cutting

Just did an event for product launch last week and great I got a chance to do for Chanel's event again ;p

In my experiences, a product launch event, the size of the guests could be from 20 guests and it could be up to hundreds of guests.

As an entertainer, you have to apply your skill to entertain the guests well and as a professional silhouette artist, I will try my best to entertain as many guests as possible within the booking hours.

Within an hour, I am able to produce about 40 silhouette cuttings and if some one  could help me to paste/ put my artwork on the card /plastic bag, my speed could up to 70 cutting per hour.

Due to the portrait silhouette is mainly emphasize on the outline of the side view or the portrait, you need not need to do any detail on the eyes, the ears, the ear ring, the eyes etc, meanwhile you should be able to produce an artwork within a 1 minutes unless the hairstyle of the guest is really complex that will be different story, but it would not required more than 5 minutes to complete the artwork.

I believe most professional silhouette cutting sure be able to complete a straight hair silhouette cutting within a minute.

I able to do 2 in 1 silhouette cutting but only limited to selective events, because such cutting required more than a minute. You really required a real skill to produce a two in one silhouette artwork, it was testing of how good of your visual skill that able to apply the right scale and ratio of both side profile in a piece of paper.
