It’s time for part 6! If you haven’t seen the first five parts, you’ll want to do that before you see this.

Later this week, Rebekah will show you what went into the creation of the weather machine.
(This post references iSundae II: Attack of the Cones, part 5. You may want to view the movie before reading this post.)
Have you ever been bored and brilliant in the space of a minute? You’re sitting there, minding your own business, and suddenly lightning strikes. A large part of the iSundae II script came about in that way. The whole concept of Fonsuger being after something, and what that something was came out of a bored doodle during a movie discussion. And Reyshar’s hat.
I stopped and looked down at the paper. Now, that prop looked cool. How could we fit it into the movie? And the piece on top . . . where have I seen that shape before? “Hey,” I said, “What if the thing Fonsuger is after has something to do with the first movie? Relating back to why Reyshar wore that weird helmet thing.” The idea took fire and we soon found ourselves with a slidey-puzzle box that contained something that could make you immune to being utterly vaporized. Granted, the “relating back to Reyshar” part changed a bit in the finished movie. We didn’t explain that what was in the box was kept in the point on Reyshar’s helmet, but the general idea mushroomed out of that. [Read more →]
This is exciting! We’re halfway through the release of iSundae II, and this is one of my favorite parts of the whole movie. If you haven’t seen the previous parts, you’ll want to see those first. But for those of you who are ready for part 5, here it is:

As always, you can watch the video on YouTube, too.
Thought I’d try out the gallery feature in WordPress by posting a bunch of photos from the production of iSundae II part 4.
A new movie. A new script. A whole cast of characters clamouring to be costumed. For me, this is the funnest part of design work. I can suspend the trivial details of time and available cash and make an idea come to life on paper. Ah, the bliss of it all! Then reality sets in and I have to either change the designs, compromise, or both.
Have you ever been slammed that way? The perfect costume design has to be thrown out because it would cost too much to make. The detailed beadwork that you absolutely loved goes away or becomes fabric paint. The ornate helmet has to be scratched and replaced with a hat. A felt one. With a bright red feather. Situations like this are depressing, annoying, and even downright ugly. [Read more →]
