So all I need to do is swap the executioner's gun with a real one to kill target 1, and rig the chandelier to fall on target 2.

When I went to Paris, this was by far the most beautiful building I had the joy to walk through A massive elegant wedding cake of a building

And now we enter what must be the most beautiful concert hall of all the universe! A perfect replica of the old opera house! But who cares?!

As a 3D artist the idea of rendering the baroque hall way makes me twitch.

Yuuup. Makes me think of that beautiful B.O.W. Qin mansion. Out of hobbyist's curiosity, mind sharing a link to your work?

That's Chagall.. A very famous artist.

Yes, and most of his opus looks like ugly pre-k fingerpaint bullshit. Terrible choice.

Massively awesome! Do you have the stories too? I mean, do you happen to know or have any behind the scene work stories? That'd be lovely.

2/2 but the audience will almost never see a mistake because we somehow manage to fix it in the last moment. It has a certain magic to it

1/2 I work in the opera but not in this one. I‘ m always amazed at how much stuff can go wrong behind the scenes or at how hectic it can get

It irritates me that what most people associate with the word "opera" is a musical set in an opera house rather than, you know, an opera.
