Tania Salas

Body doubled the principal actress for the motorcycling sequences. Rode my motorcycle through the streets at night, with a passenger on the back while the camera drone recorded from above.

Rode on a vespa through the streets of LA for an Android commercial, featuring wearable technology.

Featured with my motorcycle as a girly biker chick for the reality show. During the taping the Nail Artists (contestants on the show) create a unique look on our fingers inspired by each biker's style and motorcycle.

Principal talent for worldwide all media campaign for new HD Street bikes. Rode a new HD Street 500 and 750 around downtown LA followed by the camera car.

Creating the dark, dilapidated, and seedy look for the Pirate cavern in this commercial consisted of creating a rough texture on the walls and beams, then on top providing a realistic aged and weathered wood scenic treatment. I stained the concrete floor to look like it had cracks, dust, and water stain marks to add to the murky, grimy, atmosphere.

Provided my services as a trained scenic painter to the Art Department. Painted flags for the racing scenes, designed posters for the school classrooms, assisted with set dressing, etc.

Providing a scenic treatment to set pieces for the Halloween installations at Disneyland. Included aging wood panels, creating faux wood grain, staining scrim and muslin as well as aging fabric flags to appear vintage.

Timboctou was a theatrical production, created as a joint venture between California Institute of the Arts' Center for New Performance and La Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico. Responsibilities include: participating in design and production meetings, researching different paint techniques to achieve the desired finish, creating samples to provide options for the set designer and director. My duties also included scheduling work calls, supervising crews of ten or more painters, and providing budget detailing labor and material costs. Timboctou premiered at RedCat in downtown LA. It was a touring production that travelled to Mexico, and so I also had to provide a tech rider and samples of all paint colors used with an explanation of scenic treatment for each set piece- in case touch ups were needed.
