Cardboarding!

Throughout our music video, objects throughout the house are going to turn into cardboard to show that, despite their search to be the perfect couple, their life is becoming so fake and forced that everything is becoming 2D. Furthermore, the idea that they're cut-outs of objects begs the question 'were they ever real in the first place?'

We realise, however, that turning objects, possibly big ones such as a sofa, in to cardboard is going to be a challenge and so we researched ways of doing this.

Firstly, we though that we could just take high quality photos of the objects we want to change and then send them to a company to have them printed onto life-size cardboard cut-outs. However, most websites we found were charging quite high prices, for example, £60 for one cut out of a person.

This lead us to seek other methods and I went and spoke to the set designer/builder, Al, who said that the Theatre Department have a piece of software which allows a person to take a photo and print it on to however many pieces of paper needed in order to assemble them on to a life-size cardboard structure: like a jigsaw. He said that we are welcome to use it as long as we cover the cost of the ink, which might be expensive so we will need to research this further.

Animatic for Our Video

This is a rough cut animatic of how our video will run. When we film it, it will look slightly different as it was hard to draw all the shots we're envisaging, however, the animatic conveys the general idea of how our video will be.

Male Actors

These are the people we have in mind to play the man.

Will Van der Wayden

 

 

We chose Will because he's good looking and has brown hair. We wanted him to have brown hair to look like the stereotypical 'Ken' doll. He is taller than both the females we would use and is easy to work with.

 

 

Finbar Shepard

 

 

If Will is unavailable, we'll use Fin because he has brown hair and is also good looking. He's taller than the female actors, is of a similar build to Will and is also easy-going.



Female Actors

These are the girls we have in mind to play the woman in our music video.


Leila Toulmin

We chose Leila because she's blonde and classically beautiful as well as being petite and a talented actor.

Gigi Rice

 

If Leila is unavailable, we will use Gigi in our video as she also has blonde hair, has classic beauty, is petite and a talented actor.
