What are some ways to create a faux castle stone wall for a movie set?
It’s for a Harry Potter fan film I’m making and I’m on a budget. I’m considering concrete or grout on top of foam boards. Any other clever suggestions?
I’ve made large stone-brick walls for an outdoor castle at my house by “stamping” a very-huge cardboard box with a large sponge usually used for washing a car… can’t remember what type of paint I used on the sponge, just something that would be okay outside.
I first painted the whole background of the wall a sorta dark gray.
Then I trimmed the sponge a bit so it would have less smooth edges and slightly different shape, and dipped it into a lighter gray paint on a plate, then stamped each brick/stone onto the background leaving gaps between (as the “mortar). You could use any combo of colors though.
To age and “dirty” the castle walls, I used some flat black spray paint to lightly swipe here and there over the stamped stones in a random way. Could also do that with some greenish colors for moss, etc., or perhaps some brown too.
If you needed even more “texture” in your individual stones, you could use a slightly darker color (of “stone”), then pounce the color here and there on the stone using a wadded up bit of plastic wrap.
If you wanted a more irregular set of stones, you could use several large sponges cut to different shapes.
You could also make larger stones by using some kind of flat foam rubber to make the basic shape of the stamps, then glue (permanent white glue) them to a board or plywood shape as large at least as large to make them into pressable stamps.
I did mine the way I did because it was really quick and cheap, but my son has used a huge stencil at his high school theater dept., then spray painted or sponged or brush-painted inside each “stone” opening. So you could also make yourself a stencil or two for each stone, or each few stones …or perhaps you could borrow something similar from a high school with a good drama dept or from a community theater, etc.
( I think the concrete/grout/plaster/etc., would be much more trouble and also heavier and likely to crack. . .some of that spray foam insulation might be a possibility though???, then paint over it.)
As for backgrounds, it might be best to go with large insulation board from Home Depot etc., so not too heavy. But you could also do the same thing on a king-size sheet, then hang it from a board.
Good luck!
