CRUNCH TIME

I've got two weeks to finish the Glam Jam video! We are having the debut party before the 20th of May since I will be leaving to Prague the 22nd. I've been thinking about this video nonstop. Here are some screen shots of what is being worked on:


A neon room with stop motion dancing/posing. The lights grow brighter with the beat of the song.


Unicorn tattoo shot (white background is being taken out, rad backgrounds to come!)


In the video, this shot is going to be silhouetted and the doodles are animated. Better doodles will also be used :P






Another thing that's happening this week:
HYPE N SWEET SHOW


The guys from Cul n Sweet will be joining with the Hype Headz this Friday for a badass fuckin night. I will be showing my visuals from Monterrey (which will be recut a bit), and there will be a special guest attending!!! Come to find out whooooo!

I know this blog has been moving more to my obsession with film, but I swear more fashion to come! I got interviewed last Saturday for Austin Style Watch. I'll let y'all know when Rachel posts the link to the video :] It was mainly about what I think about Austin style, my likes and dislikes, etc.

Make it GLAM

I've got the dance sequence pictures, but they are just such big files with a cut out background that it makes FCP run super slow! Last night I worked on the video for a good 4 hours and I have nothing to show for it. Then again, I was just messing with it and playing around with the idea of multiplying Jordyne and adding a rainbow outline around her. It's coming along. Hopefully we can film on Wednesday or Thursday. I still have to round up equipment, so I'll probably do that tonight.

I also have started thinking more about the animations that I want to incorporate. Lately I have been drawing really thick borders and minor details, but the more I think about how I want this video to look, I keep seeing thin borders, line detail, colors...I guess it's kind of hard to explain. I just wish I had one of those pads that you can plug into your computer and draw on. Next investment after a lappy, fasho.

Here are some behind the scenes pictures of last week's shoot:
















In other news: I have decided to try and grow my hair out again...but I am still gonna keep it platinum. We'll see how long I can go without cutting it!

Glam Jam

Sorry for my absence! I have been a busy bee making visuals for the Cul N Sweet JUICEBOXXX n Dre Skull show in Monterrey and McAllen! They were a success!

But what I REALLY wanted to post about was my first Tummy Toast music video shoot that went down last night at Jamal's apartment!



My lovely lady and voice n image behind TT, Jordyne, her boyfriend/producer, Mat, n my BFF Jamal all worked really hard styling Jordyne n posing her for shots for her first ever music video! We had been talking about making a music video for a while, and I really would love to do an entire video for her set, but we are starting on "Glam Jam." What we had in mind for this video is just all out glamour and sexiness, which was achieved after 2 Sparks and one 24oz. Lone Star. Here is a sneak peak of the pictures from the shoot!


















Mat (L) n Jamal (R)
Mat took tons of behind the scenes pictures and video that will soon be posted!


Jordyne (L) n Jamal (R)
James did a fucking wonderful job of working with Jordyne's body and making her poses look naturally hot.


Jordyne (L) n Me(R)
I look like a little boy standing next to her! I had so much fun directing/styling her though, she was down for anything!
