A post over at The Doodlers reminded me of these old snaps I took when I was in high school.
Unrelated scared cat (my cross hatching resembles that of Dr Seuss sometimes I think - a kind of refined scribble...)
And woman say something, but I don't know what.
A little too cute perhaps...(the dog, not me).
Go towards the light...
ReplyDeleteThe photos are very interesting Elliot. I really like feel of the top one, has a great tone of mystery and suspense to it. Where did you take those?
ReplyDeleteJAG - Ha!
ReplyDeleteSmooker - these pictures were taken in a very exotic location and with specialised materials, by which I mean it was shot in my bedroom with a small cutout character at the end of a rather long box that was the packaging for a standing lamp.
I used the same lamp to light the end.
Thoroughly low tech.
low tech, maybe, effective, yes.
ReplyDeleteCheers man.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like "set up" shots if you know what I mean?
Little models and such...
My favorite bit about live action directing is fudging the shot with additions to make it look like something that really isn't there.
Do you know Terry Gilliams "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen"?
It's full of these love little models - not designed to look photoreal and even more delightful because of it.
Aww, that last one is very cute.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it should be framed and by your bedside.
Who are the couple drawn at the bottom?...Ren and Stimpy?
ReplyDelete"You EEEEDIOT!!!!"
ReplyDeleteSpookey. there's an almost Xfiles feel to these. We linked you back :)
ReplyDeleteThank guys - and yes - X-files was something I was probably watching about the time I took these.
ReplyDeleteIs that Ella and Elliot in that bottom pic? There's YOUR Bill Peet children's book! Sweet sketch, Elliot.
ReplyDeleteThat repulsively cute picture is indeed me and the mad mutt....
ReplyDeleteThere's the alternate Bill Peet title, "Me and the Mad Mutt".....
ReplyDeleteNice, although I'd probably make it "The Mad Mutt and Me".
ReplyDeleteA lovely tale of a boy, his dog, and rabies.
