JABBERWOCKY
based on the poem by Lewis Carroll


introducing
Dassi Shortridge Pitzer

a Gated Picture

For real this time. It's going to happen. (And so is PANDORA, at some point.)

[Tom Shortridge]

A few reference images my creature team's using as inspiration as they begin development of the Jabberwocky.

As the poem only describes its "jaws that bite," "claws that catch," and "eyes of flame," I feel it important that we truly capture the essence of those words in the visuals of this piece, and the design of our Jabberwocky.

8/2/09 - Checked out a possible location for the majority of the shoot - unfortunately, in the 10 years since I've gone back in the woods at my Mom's place, the fricking thing has become so overgrown that it's almost impossible to walk through, let alone stage any action for filming. Will check out a location at a friend's house next weekend, as well as a small state park (will probably have to guerilla that bad boy if it comes to it).

Also met with my lead actress - definitely a lot of energy there, she seems to be looking forward to the role.

Reserved #3.

[Tom Shortridge]

[RodThompson]

I will once again volunteer my fluffing abilities! :o

Seriously, you know I'm always down to help you guys.

[~jai~]

Hey, that's a really good poem! I can't wait to see what you have in store for us with this one!

[mattspat]

nothing to do with the hip hop dance group? lol

[Tom Shortridge]

Bump - updated first post w/very temp poster.

[~jai~]

Bump - updated first post w/very temp poster.

I don't see it...

[Tom Shortridge]

Weird... can anyone see it?

[chriscurl]

Yep, I see it.

[Tom Shortridge]

Yeah, once we actually get out shooting and get some BTS/production stills/images for the poster, I'll probably get someone to make a real one. This was just from a public domain photo I found online.

[RodThompson]

Thats a pretty picture!

[Chris_Keaton]

I don't see it. This happened before and I think it had to do with where the image was hosted or how the line was written?

[ramsaur]

I don't see it either. Last time chris couldn't see mine was because I hosted it from dvxuser but that's weird he couldn't see it from this site and now that I can't.

[Tom Shortridge]

Yeah, this one's hosted at here at dvxuser... weird.

[Tom Shortridge]

Okay.... changed hosting sites for the poster... theoretically should work now.

Hope people aren't expecting too much from this - again, it's just temp.

[~jai~]

Cool poster! Does't give away much, but I'm very intrigued!

[Tom Shortridge]

testing sig...

[Tom Shortridge]

Second post updated w/reference images.

[RodThompson]

You have a modeling team!?

Must be nice to have reference images you can post. :P

[chriscurl]

The research team is in Africa now studying animal locomotion, I dare say this will be the most realistic, hair-raising Jabberwocky ever put to film.

You will believe a Jabber can Wock.

[RodThompson]

You will believe a Jabber can Wock.


LMAO! :crybaby:

[~jai~]

Second post updated w/reference images.

From those images, this is going to be frickin' sick! I can't wait!

[Puckthesane]

I just came back from the future where I saw this short film.

Good stuff, dopey! You have a great eye!

[Mike Manning]

This sounds interesting... definitely keeping my eye on your thread

[Edgen]

This sounds like fun... I know long ago that damn jabberwocky in Alice in Wonderful scared the fire out of me.~ uhhh.. *shivers*

/j

[chaconkevin]

Just the fact that this is based on Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll has automatically placed this film in my must see list.
cant wait to do so. ill be keeping an eye on this thread to see any updates

[Christian Vincent Jung]

I'm such an Alice freak, so I will LOVE to see this!
Welcome!

[Marlon Ladd]
