Textiles I have on hand.

The colors are a bit off in this pic, of course. The bottom left is def more orange.

Mostly fem fabrics but some could be used as accent...

Big chunk of burlap?? Dunno...

Pretty pretty...

storyboard VERSE THREE

 do two trees convey a sense of non-loneliness? a spurt of green amidst red, the sign that the fire is dying out, at least for awhile???

storyboard VERSE TWO

again, an attempt at bringing previously drawn images together....

storyboard VERSE ONE

.

i REALLY like your drawings of the fire coming into the house, i think there's a better way to arrange this scene, and integrate that idea (my last image is pretty weak on that front... i imagined red seeping in through the cracks like yours.

storyboard, TITLE

TITLE PAGE/during the musical intro.

there are lots of ways to go with this. here's one idea.

storyboard-- big picture

PART ONE: the storyboard overview. 

NOTE: this is a rough rough draft. with no color... i wanted to get something out into the world so we can tweak it & etc... 

in a field.

church ideas...

i'm thinking now, we do a backlit magic thing on this one.. .but here were some ideas for some pretty puppetesque/popup book solutions for engulfing the church in flames...

each day i'd wake up smelling the dirt

hmmmm

in response--

a choice to be made here-- shadowed or frontlit? (compare fahey's video to any of ours that are cloth/etc)
kathy used fancy light gels to film hers... the puppets are black/white because you just see the sillouhette-- a form of shadowpuppetry ... if we do a front lit crankie, all the color goes onto the paints/drawings...and allows for drawing/painting as opposed to sillouhette cutting. which were you envisioning? i am envisioning front lit, but i am flexible!

i am not super into the angularity here, and feel like the color palate is somewhat unfocused, here... but there are great inspiring mments-- like the sea, especially

katherine fahey's

totally inspired by her coloring! it could be really cool to begin & end the video in blue, cool tones and change it to red/yellow/orange for dream. i assume we could use stagelight screen thingies for this?

ellen's is super impressive too but it definitely made clear to me that i'm more into the darkness/shadow puppets/light changing route. very into ink and clear lines with color placed within the drawings. (as opposed to coming from a place of blocks of color).
