My Dearest Kaitlyn. Inspired by a letter my mother had written to me when I was a week old and kept hidden until my sixteenth birthday. ----- I learned a lot throughout the course of this project, both technical and about myself. This was the first book I have ever made and I greatly underestimated …
I have been posting a ton about A Strange Dinner, but I've neglected to share my other, more personal, works. I am currently working on creating my first artist book titled My Dearest Kaitlyn. This book was inspired by a letter my mother had written me when I was a week old that she kept …
Frustration. The frustration of two different people with two different ideas instructing what you are to do. Oh well, all of these things were discussed this morning and I am taking it with a grain of salt. At this point I just want to move forward and get these posters done. Right now I am …
Today during class I threw together some quick flyers to hang around campus. These are not the final movie poster (that is Gabby's job, although I will be helping her with the more technical end). These are just to get the word out and people talking about our short film. PS) This event is open …
Sunday October 27 was our second day of filming. We ironed through most of our problems Saturday, so everything ran super smoothly on set day two. I got up at five, bunny and what seemed like a million other props in tow, to be at the school by six (which I learned later was unnecessary …
Saturday October 26th was our first day of filming for "A Strange Dinner". We were on set from one to five. Here's a behind the scenes look of the days events. PS) It was such an awesome experience to see everyones talents come together during filming this past weekend. I hope you all are getting …
Today was a day of experimenting with colors, textures and opacity. With the help of Gabby, Taylor and Laura we set up a "mock table". Below I've posted images of what the final setting will look like. Keep in mind that these objects will be filled with various objects of different colors, textures and opacity. …
As of now we have acquired almost all of our main items, minus a tablecloth which Samantha will be getting today. I will post the images she sends me in the near future. We are now focusing on the littler things that we believe will visually add to this film. -glass pitcher - me -tomato …
Today Samantha, Laura and I went on another thrifting outing in hopes of finding a tablecloth. No such luck there, but we did pick up a few odds and ends for place settings. We came to the conclusion that were going to have to shell out the big bucks and make a trip to JoAnn …
WE NEED A TABLECLOTH.
Anything similar in color or patterns to these would be perfect. Hopefully we can find one on our outing tomorrow. Updates soon.
Since the tablecloth is probably the most dominant prop in the film and essential to the composition, we’re being very particular about it. The colors and pattern need to be perfect. Since we haven’t had much luck finding the right one in thrift stores, Taylor suggested that we look at Joann Fabrics (Thanks Taylor!) So we jumped online and found that they had prints and patterns that would be ideal–the only factor would be price. The fabrics there can be pretty expensive, so if we don’t find what we need within the next week, we might just have to resort to Joann, especially if they have the perfect fabric–which they do! Here are some swatches of the kinds of fabric we’re looking for: Red, mustard, emerald, and neutral browns and yellows. The red and emeralds are more accents to match the main character’s dress, and the Mom will be wearing…
