musings on my cinematic wanderings

The coming consumption

Filed under: cinematography,photography,studio — Tags: , , , — Jason @ 12:10 am October 21, 2009

We are gearing up an awesome shoot for November that is a push into our art series. This first set is a series of consumption. This refers not so much to food as is does to those things that we desire and take in and digest. It will involve a couple of fairly involved sets that Stacey will put together. A floor and a ceiling that are connected by a story. The two places go together but are never seen in the same image.  A diptych that confounds the simple observation.

Key players in our little art party include the uber talents of clothing designer Meli Innes-Brown who is hard at work on drafting something gauzy. Her work includes such things as:

On hair and make up is the fantastic fellow who helped us out this past Thursday on another shoot (pics to come soon) Mil u Ranon. He was a true pleasure to work with and I’m glad he’s coming in for this as well. His work that will be similar includes this photo:

And we have the striking Siam on board as our model who is seen both here and there. She will fit perfectly into our visions of the space and understand the delicate balance of the situation and how to behave.

Ah yes, all so cryptic … you’ll just have to wait and see.

All consuming…

You would think that the opening of the studio would be am all-consuming venture, bit somehow I found a way to shove in six hard-core days of production in there. This of course made the remaining time even more studio absorbant.

The jobs were pretty cool with one involving the zepplin, and the other one I can’t quit discuss yet.

So what’s left for the studio? What kind/color of chair for the studio / garage / lounge will best serve or clients and our budget. Chairs that will be used and abused by many to come. Something sturdy, comfortable and washable.

As with everything, it will be an evolution. Off to the pumpkin patch!
