Month: July 2020

I know I am a very visual person and my ideas always translate into images so I reached out to a writer to help me write the script of the narrative. I will need some help to write the voiceover that will go along with the images.

– Contact location: Bardenas Reales Nature Reserve. As it’s a student project I won’t need to pay the booking fee, just the admin fee. I got a certificate from UAL to prove that it’s a master’s student project.

– Contact Kodak. I met a DOP in London a few months back and he gave me the contact of someone working in Kodak. I emailed him and he offered me a great deal, I’ll pay for 4 30mt-rolls and get 2 for free.

– Contact Cinelab regarding development.

– Arrange meeting with Alice Potts (biodesigner) in London

– Contact Nowness. Following Vicky’s advice from last tutorial I sent Ahmad Swaid the brief of my film.

I met Jorge Rico today to discuss the collaboration for my film. His work is really good and he is working with a lot of music artists in Spain at the moment. He liked my idea and is quite happy with shooting in 16mm.

We will be sharing some references with each other to get the best visuals for the concept.

The biodesigner samples I will be using for my film are samples of new biomaterials but cannot be worn, as they are not finished garment pieces. So I will need to think about the costumes that the characters in the film will be wearing. As I am focusing on sustainable ways of development in fashion, I think it’s important that I have this concept present for every aspect of the production of the film (set design, styling, catering, zero-waste)

My friend is building a new vintage brand and we shot the campaign yesterday. Working on this shoot made me reflect on different ways in which fashion can be sustainable: reusing and recycling clothes, reusing and recycling materials, redesigning materials without extracting natural resources. Doing some further research I found the three concepts of recycling, upcycling, and repurposing as the different approaches to environmental sustainability. I will have all these concepts in mind when I discussed with the stylist the outfits of the characters.

Here are some of the photos from the shoot:
