Props pt. 2.
Herr Strandgaard has finally finished his sewing machine. And since it is so beautiful done (and also due to the fact that it will be in the background in the apartment, and probably out of focus) I will post some detailed photos of it here for YOU to enjoy.

1st human eyes test!
Thus Johan has been working on some pictures to test the actors' eyes.
The first two pictures are of Samek (the boy) with my little brothers, Hjalte's eyes.
The last picture is of Yetta (the mother) with Ene's eyes. The heads are from the maquettes, and when cast the will offcourse have hair and look even more neat!

Greetings from the swampy realms of the Wiredfly Headquarters! Things are still progressing with the pace of a wee bit tired but yet agile moose!

I will update the blog later today with test photos, where Johan has composited eyes of potential actors on the maquette heads Hanna has made.
Till then....

Misc.1
A li'l friday update from WF.HQ:
Today we got CRAZY amounts of oilbased clay with the mail. Two big boxes indeed! We also got a scale that Hanna is using, as I write, to measure stuff for the mold.
We have talked with the actress Ene, who played the mother in the pace video we did to test the pace and the rythm in the movements and the editing. She was very interested in letting us use her eyes for the puppets. I don't know if this has been mentioned on this blog yet - but we will composit real human eyes on the puppets. This will offcourse look awesome!!! So now we are making tests to see if Ene's eyes will "fit" the puppet. More on this as it developes.
(A portrait of Ene, that she sent us to test her eyes on the puppets).
(Johan and an armaturemaker named John Wright have mailed weird drawings back and forth concerning the armatures. Above here is one of the pictures. The armatures isn't finished yet - but O the glory when they are!).

Artsy Fartsy picture!
Here is an artsy fartsy picture of Sarah - taken by Emil.
And for the sake of old times - here is a crying child.
(one could manage to say that all creative studios should have a crying child painting on their wall - or one could dare to differ. This crying child painting was bought in a second hand shop for 50 DKK! Insane price indeed).

Greetings potential readers of this blog!
Yesterday, glorious Wednesday - Hanna Habermann started in WF.HQ. Johan and I have been busy making as much as possible ready for her coming!
(Hanna in her brand new fancy workroom in WF.HQ).
Also we got visited by Herr Strandgaard (his name is actually also Johan, so we needed to figure something out to avoid the chaos and confusion). Herr Strandgaard will be helping out building the props. Welcome aboard!
(Herr Strandgaard talking with Johan about the props).
(Sarah has been working on making the windows for the buildings in the backyard. Here is a few of them).
(Katrine making the maquette of one of the soldiers).
The ship is sailing steady and onwards ... towards unknown havens...
TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE!

New crew members.
We are proud to welcome Hanna Habermann to the team. She will start in one week - helping us out building the puppets and we will feast on her knowledge like parasitic leeches.
(A picture from our first meeting with Hanna Habermann. Next to her, Katrine is sitting with a shark, that she has fallen in love with).
(On this film noir-ish photo taken by Emil, Tore is standing next to the building Johan has build. Tore will be helping us out finishing the buildings and perhaps making props. Welcome to the team!).
(A girl who is not new on the team - but she is finally cought on film: Christina Martiny Moltke. She is doing the Behind-the-scenes on "Four Minutes"... Here she is sitting sorting the vast amounts of clips she's recorded).
Props pt. 1
Hereby a little update:
Things are progressing with the pace of horny lion! We are building props, sets 'n making maquettes. It almost makes one ILL to think of all the little things that needs love and care to be buildt - and then it's just some tiny background thing, ALAS - so be it!
(This is the empty and broken food trolley, that will be in the backyard. It's made by Sarah).
(An unfinished lightpole that will be on the sidewalks on the other side of the wall - notice the birdshit that's painted on it! Another prop by Sarah).
(Emil's wooden bucket for the backyard. It is carved in the famous balsa tree - which Katrine and Johan worked their royal arses off to find... BUT NOW IT IS OURS!!!).
(Emil's sheds. The one on the left is an outdoor toilet, and the one on the right is a firewood shed. (and in front of them the bucket!) The sheds are painted black for now - but when the backyard is finished we'll paint it a color that fits).
(Another great - yet unsharp photo by Emil of some maquettes IN THE WORKS! The woman on the left is Johans maquette of Yetta, the mother. The huge bastard with genitalia is one of the german soldiers made by Katrine. The last two is maquettes of Samek - also made by Johan).
