I've created 10 different costume designs that i may possibly use for my characters for the film. These include clown/mime/puppet/puppeteer character costumes and also femme fetalle costumes. My inspiration has come from looking at costumes from the circus, costumes from films that i admire (that include femme fetalles or have a characters with a certain style which i admire) and i have also looked at fashion magazines. 

If you would so kindly comment to tell me which ones you like and would be interesting to view within my film i would "gert grateful" :D ta!

Gondry! :D


Taken from the science of sleep. amazing film! Tonns of special effects! Trys to use as many "natural" special effects as possible (not done with computer) to add to his querky and childlike style for his work. I love all of his work, pretty much! He's done loads of music videos that are simply Fab....I may copy a technique or two......:D
Just wanted to show a couple of pictures of Gondry.... used to be in a band called Qui Qui and did music videos for them....that kick started his career into music video and film making. he's quite an odd..... likes to combine a lot of effects together and doesn't always make set answers in his films, i think this is a good idea, i really like interpretive films and art and would like to have the same effect on my audience as he does with me! 

Areas of interest

Okay..... so I'm going to just make a big fat list of random words  and thingemybobs that i may want to look at and explore to make my music video super! :D All of these things i think will be visually interesting and may have some historical background and symbolism behind them when I put them together........ don't worry all will become clear........it is all a bit scrambled eggs at the moment:
