Speaker Series Features Hollywood Miniature, Model Maker John Eblan, Sept. 23

September 23, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

The Appleton Museum of Art continues the monthly Inspired Speakers Series with John Eblan on Sunday, Sept. 23, at 2 p.m. These monthly presentations feature individuals who not only excel in their fields, but are also an inspiration to others.

Eblan will discuss how he became a model-maker and highlight some of his past model-making projects for big-budget Hollywood films. Largely self-taught, he has created incredibly detailed miniatures for “Pearl Harbor,” the “Star Wars” movies, “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith,” as well as “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and “Star Trek.” In addition, he has built or overseen several fantastic model builds for a number of high-end collectors around the world, including Kuhn Global.Founder of the FX Company, Eblan is currently vice president of QMx FX Cinema Arts, leading the QMx shop. Eblan says, “There’s no doubt that what we do is work. But it’s in a really fun environment. We get to build spaceships and cool props all day. Everybody here has the opportunity for creative input and collaboration.”

Tickets are free for Appleton members and CF students; $10 for nonmembers. Advance reservation or purchase is recommended at AppletonMuseum.org or by calling Griselle Gonzalez at 352-291-4455, ext. 1836.
