Final Project: Oar

It all started out with a concept. Our idea for this project was to take the traditional 80's slasher movie genre and design a werewolf creature that could fit as the killer. Our main inspiration was from 'Friday the 13th' and 'Sleepaway Camp'. We wanted our werewolf to be a camp counsellor who got turned into a werewolf during camp and went out on a murderous rampage.

Now since our werewolf actor was going to be wearing stilts we wanted to give them a support, this is where my oar comes in. I tried to think of a way that a werewolf would pick something up and possibly use it as a weapon, and for that thing to not only make sense in the world, but also in the design. 

This is where the oar came in. A regular werewolf might not think to pick up any old oar, but a camp counsellor might be near the lake when he transforms and picks up the old oar left lying around to defend himself (or just attack in a murderous rage).
