The Gorilla Statue "Making Of" (full-length) - Pittsburg State University

[@hipdogdsv]

Wow! I love seeing the bronzing process!

Really enjoyed watching Tom and the other artists explain the making of Gus the Gorilla sculpture. We entertained Nate Garrett, Director of Planned Giving, in our home today and he spoke highly of this video, which peaked my curiosity. The statue is awsome and we hope to visit Pittsburgh State again in the future to see it for ourselves. My husband went to PSU and graduated in 1968. Thanks for posting such a great video! :)

I like how the hand is in a position to "high five" as one walks by. That part will be rubbed shiny overtime.

Unreal cool! I am so impressed with Tom's range and vision.

I was very impressed with the video and the concept of the of the sculpture from beginning to end. I read about the video in the Joplin Globe creating an interest to watch. Pitt State has such a rich heritage in sports and academics. You truly have something to be proud of.

What an amazing sculpture!!! I would love to find out what “a good dollar” is. I’m guessing it was a whole bunch of good dollars haha.
