Cinema is called 4D with the addition of time. Here I want to call Halfland 5D with the addition of "life" in itself. Yeah it is alive with its celibate spider and female and male trees!Yazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412650843983585175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-3645884851459062902010-06-18T15:11:28.636-07:002010-06-18T15:11:28.636-07:00Ahoy!

I have to say as the props etc are being loaded onto the set, it really has an astonishing effect of being a real world even for me!<br /><br />I don't know whether it will come through during the shoot, but it is a 360ยบ total immersion set with SEVEN 7! seven different environments already fully built within its main landscape:<br /><br />1. The cottage interior<br />2. The stream<br />3. Mushroom village<br />4. the Time Frog pond<br />5. The snail's macro garden area<br />6. The Writing Mouse's micro chalet exterior<br />7. The meadow for the Painting Chicken<br /><br />And that's not counting 8. the cottage porch and 9. Yanu's spot in the tree canopy!<br /><br />Plus, I've already compiled the materials and started roughing in the remaining three sets for the entire series;<br /><br />1. The Writing Mouse's home interior (shoebox-sized set) <br /><br />2. The Underwater Sea<br />(tabletop-sized set)<br /><br />3. The Sage's desert<br />(tabletop-sized set)<br /><br />I'm living with the props in place, contemplating them often, adjusting where things go, making sense of her life and the life of all her friends.<br /><br />Now if I could stop making progress long enough to post photos!<br /><br />;~}Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-91582492852779015122010-06-16T02:40:02.934-07:002010-06-16T02:40:02.934-07:00keep that creepy legger away form that camera!! be...keep that creepy legger away form that camera!! be careful Shelley. yikes.richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952291097014171267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-90351526921709258302010-06-15T18:54:51.557-07:002010-06-15T18:54:51.557-07:00A pretty good argument for celibacy, if you're...A pretty good argument for celibacy, if you're a male spider... now I'm seeing a spider Pope...<br /><br />Usually in a set, what you see on camera is what has been built - but here, I have the feeling that there really is a world around the corner, up in the attic, outside that window, just waiting with it's own stories to tell.StopmoNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983586067723765788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-78303235217500333942010-06-14T20:32:24.921-07:002010-06-14T20:32:24.921-07:00Right on, Justin.

Maybe that's why they wrote Charlottte's Web and not Charlie's, eh?<br /><br />In any case, this spider has a mustache and goatee and a top hat so, I'm going to have plead the Halfland is not Earth defense! I don't want this spider to be female because Rana is a woman and most of the characters are as well, so too much polarity would go that way, needed a little balance. PLUS! My spiders are totally CELIBATE! (no sex for them) so this guy had no reason to die! HA!<br /><br />Maybe there is no sex in Halfland at all? Except for some of the trees, but none that you know yet!Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-73758929892258117482010-06-13T18:39:25.062-07:002010-06-13T18:39:25.062-07:00I read somewhere that all the spiders we see are p...I read somewhere that all the spiders we see are probably female, because the males are much smaller and only live long enough to mate. Every time I hear someone call a spider a "he" now I want to correct them. Usually I restrain myself, but today I'm feeling weak, apparently. :) I can't wait to see the shadow web!Tea Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905513927078504862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-12639813623839955902010-06-13T17:47:43.555-07:002010-06-13T17:47:43.555-07:00every where you put the camera is going to have it...every where you put the camera is going to have its own story...<br /><br /> exciting!!<br /><br /> jriggityjriggityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00424328610725755022noreply@blogger.com
