Paper Mache Satellite

Today we experimented with paper mache. The idea is that the girl in the video will hold up a satellite dish that will be small in comparison to her body as she is, at the current stage, a giant; she will wave it around, searching for a frequency. While she is holding the satellite her eyes are static like an untuned TV, when she finds the correct frequency the static will lessen and an image of the next scene will appear through her eyes.

In The Forest

Today we were taking photos for the scene where the character is a giant and is interacting with a computer in a forest.

The idea was to take a working computer and set it up in a forest. This required many long extension cords working their way from the closest power point in the garage to the forest.

The effect I am going for in this scene is for technology to be in an apparantly remote area where all there is are trees for miles around; also it is a good setting for a giant woman to appear, scaled against the large trees which are similar in size to her, and the small computer screen which is miniscule in comparison to her.

The computer screen itself shows many errors on the screen showing a malfunction of the computer, the only opition for the character is to press the enter button to restart the system.

 Set making is going to be one of the most rewarding and fun parts of this project. Tonight I had to clear the household hallway of everything; this included taking photos and mirrors of the walls, moving anything that would look out of place, and shifting a large baby's buggy. I then had to set up my computer in the hallway, connect it to a power source, create the folders on the computer, and make it dark and sinister looking by turning out the lights.
