My friend Tchaiko sent me, "Pretty Doll," a short film she did recently that she thought of doing on a Monday, ended up shooting on Wednesday, and cut it on Thursday. I think it turned out pretty fantastic.
I'm always impressed by Tchaiko's work, but equally important by her willingness to just get out there and shoot. Look at what a great job she did on a 3 day project...
If you want to contact her, she's one of the "followers" of this blog. I think you can just search for her name on the right, and click on the image of her, and if that doesn't work (you know my knowledge of technology is ever growing... but not there yet), her website is www.tchaiko.com

WOW!!! this is amazing, you guys!!!
ReplyDeleteTchaiko... liked the film and am glad to discover this blog. i'll keep coming back.
ReplyDeleteHey Tchaiko,
ReplyDeleteGreat piece, and even greater that you had the idea and made it come to pass so easily. Anyone who's ever struggled with delivering a product can also appreciate how you made it happen in such a short time frame. Props.
Looking forward to seeing more.
"Pretty Doll" is pretty cool. The imagination. The colors. It's genius and inspirational. I'm motivated to 'just do it!'
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this excellent piece of work was done in only a few days! It's SO well done in every way - what phenomenal talent and skill!!!!

Tchaiko, very nice! I like that you made a silent. Very suggestive moving camera! And a little bit of Freud? Wait for the next one...

ReplyDeleteThere's always something wonderfully mystical about her work.
This is what It's all about--creating on a regular basis. Inspiring.
wow, that was extraordinary. thrilling, profound, cutting through darkness of the soul. the anticipation and trepedation at each moment is the key to this video. thwarted and mystified.
ReplyDeleteso funny - i've always been scared of turning into a doll (weird, childhood fear of dolls *laugh) - and then to see... maybe they're nightmare is to become us? i liked the concept and execution a lot. great job! - dana
