Once upon a time, well, no, this isn't one of those stories. But it does include a throne.
You see, last month, I received a phone call from Morgan (instagram.com/morganclae/), a family friend. Morgan is a very gifted lady who sings, plays piano, writes music, and directs music videos in Los Angeles. It was in the later function for which she contacted me.
Morgan: Uncle Rick, can you help me?
Me: It all depends. What do you need?
Morgan: I'm shooting a video in a couple of weeks, and we need a throne. Can you make one?
Me: Uh, sure, I guess. What's your budget, and what look did you have in mind?
I'm not going to go into all of the conversation, but I agreed to build it for them at a reasonable price.
Now I have always been a handy guy. I can work on my house and make it look okay, but building a throne for a video is a different thing altogether. So, I broke out my computer and created a rendering of my version of a throne. We went back and forth a bit on the design as you would with any project. Once the plan was approved, the construction began.
It took about four days to build, and I must say it came out well.
The production went off without a hitch, and the princess ascended the throne. Don't you love happy endings?
