Upcoming Print Signing Events
Shane Kindschi will be signing prints of his drawing of Biltmore House at
Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina. Shane's print
is the #1 selling art print of Biltmore House during its entire history. A special event signing table
will be located just outside the Carriage House gift
shop (within the Stable retail shops at Biltmore
House) on the following dates in 2012:
Shane adds a Facebook fan
page with 'work in progress' photographs of his Biltmore
drawing.
(9/10/2010) Shane has added many 'work in progress' photographs
to a new Facebook fan page. Albums include a rare look at his
drawing of Biltmore House in progress, such as the picture above
taken in early 1994, and supplemental material
from many of his best photographs. Young people are invited to
ask Shane questions about art, and hikers may inquire about how
to visit many of the places Shane has photographed. Also, if you
took your picture with Shane, you are welcome post it to the fan
photos album!

Pre-production continues
on Salus
(11/03/2009) Work on the set of Salus is underway as
pre-production continues on the short film written by Shane
Kindschi. The title Salus is taken from the Latin translation of the
word "Salvation". The stop motion animated short will involve
1500 separate still images and have a similar look to such
past films as
The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Corpse Bride, and
most recently Coraline. The film will be made
almost entirely by Shane, who will handle producing, directing,
cinematography, art direction, editing, and the actual animation
itself. Shown above, Shane carefully adds detail to the set,
which is constructed at 1/6 scale (12" = 72"). The scale chosen
is the same as other similar films and allows the human figure
armatures to be approximately 12" tall. Every part of the set
has been specially fabricated by Shane Kindschi. The wall paper
shown above, for example, is printed from a mold Shane has
carved by hand. Strips of paper are pre-tinted and then attached
to a drum, which is rolled over the mold over to apply paint to
the paper and 'print' the pattern. The set structure is
fabricated entirely from cardboard and construction foam.

Shane embarks on an
architectural tour of Canada
(8/17/07) In August, Shane spent time in Canada visiting
several locations for consideration on upcoming projects. Quebec
City was among his favorite sites. He visited the Château Frontenac
(pictured above) within the walls
of the old City of Quebec. The Château was built by the same
turn of the century railroad developers that created the Banff
Springs Hotel in Alberta, Canada. Shane also visited the Capital
City of Ottawa and viewed the Parliament building, as well as
Montreal's Beaux Arts inspired St. Joseph's Oratory.
Additionally, Shane visited castles in the Thousand Islands,
toured Kingston, and hiked in the mountains around Lake Placid.
A few months ago, Shane spent time in Canada at Casa Loma in
Toronto and visited Niagara Falls. "I have a heart for Canada.",
Shane said," I have a deep personal connection with that country
because of the people I know there. It is a place I have
considered moving to." Shane has since toured the flower pot
rocks in New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy, and spent time in
Halifax, Nova Scotia for the annual Tall Ships festival. He
hopes to visit British Columbia in the near future.

Shane produces short film "China"
(Orig.
Published 5/25/2005, Updated April 2007) A University of Southern California thesis film, written and directed by Jacob Hatley, and
produced by Sue Hugh, Eric Myerson, and Shane Kindschi is now
available for
purchase. As production designer for the 22 minute
short, Shane was in charge of fabricating and dressing
the sets and choosing visual elements of the film such
as props and costumes.
Shot in Randolph County, North Carolina, the production
filmed for nearly 3 weeks, with additional pick-ups in Los Angeles.
Shot in Black and White Kodak Film stock, the aspect
ratio of 2.35:1 was used to give the short a feeling of
the Spaghetti Westerns of the 1950s. For more
information, please visit the
Official Website
