experiments of textures

I used the opportunity of being on a studio with the actors fully dressed on costume to explore different textures, color schemes and styles for looks for the short film.

As production designer of “Clowning Around”, I am interested in creating a different look to the classic english look of short films. In collaboration with the DOP Azul Serra and with our incredible costume designer, I am able to experiment with colors, details and photography filters.

Here are some shots I took on the photo shooting last week. Exploring colors to the limit!

‘clowning around’

I am working as a production designer for a short film, directed by Damien Cullen, ‘Clowning Around’.

We are in first stages of ideas, and today I had the second meeting with the crew… The color palette is starting to create shape, together with the costume and the photography. We intend to create a ‘lomo’ look, with light and soft colors on the background but having vivid colors on the character’s costumes.

2010 in review

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

Healthy blog!

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

Crunchy numbers

A Boeing 747-400 passenger jet can hold 416 passengers. This blog was viewed about 4,000 times in 2010. That’s about 10 full 747s.

In 2010, there were 84 new posts, not bad for the first year! There were 171 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 733mb. That’s about 3 pictures per week.

The busiest day of the year was May 20th with 522 views. The most popular post that day was IMG_7584.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were facebook.com, vimeo.com, digg.com, cantonoar.blogspot.com, and obama-scandal-exposed.co.cc.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for macbeth script, bianca turner wordpress, bianca turner, create activity, and aoife crehan two peas.

graphic design

Currently I am also exploring my abilities as a graphic designer. It started because we don’t have a graphic designer for the web series “Jack Malchance” and as I am in charge of all art department, visual identity, I decided to try to do some graphics as well. expanding abilities!

These postcards are for publicity and adverts of the web series; and at the bottom is the poster I’ve quickly done just for the screening of Jack @ Shortcutz London, last sunday.

The word scenographer is now universally accepted and is used to describe the artists who have responsibility for all the visual and aural contributions of theatre and performance: the stage settings and properties, costume design, lighting and sound design.

inspiration for composition

“the edge of love” is the kind of film that doesn’t inspire me as a story, but in terms of composition, colors, art direction, props, costume design is absolutely fabulous!!!!!!!! When I was watching, during some shots it was almost unbelievable how beautiful was the composition.

The shots from the top are incredible, I’ve done it on Jack Malchance episode 3.

the cinematography as well is stunning; normally when a film visually attracts me, is the cinematography and art dptm together having a great composition of textures, light and colors.

If I would show any reference of my ideal work as production designer It would be this film.
