OOOooOoOOoOo OOoOoOOoOoOOoooOooKAY LOCK IN
Today's post is gonna be kinda maybe short and sweet I don't know entirely cause I'm the yappinator 5000 but surely do not expect your typical essay today! I just wanna give you Cambridge lads a lil update on a significant part of our project :]
IS THIS HOW NAMING A BABY FEELS LIKE: WE GOT A NAME!!
Yes that is right my super duper lovely shiny cupcake flying monkeys! THIS FILM IS FORMING AN IDENTITY OF IT'S OWNNNNNN!!!! I am actually so excited right now because the name we all unanimously agreed on is SO COOL. Today I locked in a heck ton on some AICE Global stuff but during breaks and time I set aside to focus on media for a bit, I sat down for a good couple of minutes and thought up some names for our film because in order for me to start my social media page, which has to be done like NEOW, we had to have a name! STAT!! So as soon as I was able, I grabbed my phone, opened the notes app, and began just BARFING. Obviously not literally that would be insane but definitely not as insane as the name I ended up going with!! Check out this thought process:
"WHO TAUGHT YOU HOW TO COOK??" - you rn probably
What truly clicked for me when coming up and sticking with The Scourge along with pitching it to my team was the biblical meaning behind it. One of the first search suggestions I saw when searching up the meaning for the word was "scourge bible definition" and that got me all like "woaahhhh wait this might just mean business! A scourge does not only hold a physical meaning, that being a whip/lash (woah wait was that a Whiplash reference), but also a pretty significant metaphorical meaning! According to Bible Odyssey, "[a scourge] refers to any punishment visited on the people by God [and] in a more literal sense, the word usually refers to the use of scourging to punish criminals." I thought this definition of Scourge that I was seeing all over the beautiful net was very intriguing and after really critically thinking about it for a bit, I was all like "wait yo wait this word lowkenuinely fits Otto like really well yo WE COOKING WE ARE COOKING!!!!!!"
In our film, Otto starts off bad (in a moral sense) but harmless. That is until she makes a deal with Annie who then later turns out to be the devil himself and as a result, Otto looses herself in the process of doing a whole ton of crazy things for him, the most significant of which is killing two individuals. Otto literally turns into a scourge, a weapon of some sorts. By the end of our piece, she isn't a person anymore, she is just another tool for the devil to use for his evil biddings. In our case, a scourge isn't a punishment for people enacted by God, nahhh it's enacted by Satan.
guys is shakespeare really dead
Right after my amazing revelation, I talked about it for a lil while with my group to see if we were all cool with it. Joaquin and I mainly discussed everything and eventually came to a pretty awesome conclusion :] At first they worried that the title was maybe a teeny tiny bit too serious since obviously our short film is going to be very goofy as well and not just a tragic supa serious story, and I was like "wait yeah I highkey get that" but then they were like "actually wait no never mind it could work really well with the right editing and music" then I was like "yay okay beautiful I love post prod :D!" After a little more discussion on whether or not we should have a tinier title below the title for comedic effect kinda like how Dr. Strange Love did it, we decided on just "THE SCOURGE" cause it would be a whole lot easier on the eyes of the viewers to look at! :] YAYAYAYAY!! YAYYYYYYYY Also since I am a heavy visual learner I went ahead and actually drew out the potential titles side to side to make a good thoughtful decision cause I needed to know how they would look like! Or I would've exploded!! RATATATATATATATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And so with that ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, normal people and Cambridge examiners, my beautiful flying cupcake monkeys, dogs, cats, and everything in between, we present to you all..
wait before anything let me embed my art down here for the thumbnail
otto without da hat >:D (The big E.V., 2026)
Happy Sunday! I apologize for being gone a bit long everybody! I just had the craziest sleepover of my entire life and am still processing it and probably will stay processing it until like next week or something
My friends Isa and Vic came over to my omega dupaplex mega mansion during the evening and we watched K drama (check out True Beauty NEOW), ate the spiciest ramen known to man kind and spent an hour and 30 almost dying from spontaneous compustion, and KILLED A COCKROACH

DO NOT EAT SPICY BULDAK RAMEN AT 11PM: EMI YAPS ABOUT HER COSTUME DESIGN
guys holy crap I literally spent my whole entire day on this and not going to lie it was very worth it!! A whole ton of weight has been lifted away from my shoulders and now I'm even MORE prepared to get this crazy ass film out into the world.
wait lemme like stretch or something real quick i need a break
ALRIGHT WE BACK LETS GET IT
A few days ago, I counted with my fingers how many characters in total we were planning to have in our film and I ended up with dunddundundudn FIVE!
Otto, Annie, Mable, a random passerby who gets ran over by a car, and a Priest! 5 costumes?? Emi dang dude are you still alive?
barely bro
I didn't even do all 5 BAHAHAHA
Today I put together costumes specifically for our 3 main characters, Otto, Annie, and Mable since I need some more time developing them all together :D And today I am also going to yap about them and their meanings before I pass out at like 12am while wearing a brand new hoodie from Primark and blue shorts from Lululemon!
BREAKDOWN TIME!! Not only on their costumes buttt ALSO ON THEIR CHARACTER! YES I AM YAPPING ABOUT CHARACTERS AGAIN EVERYBODY ITS A PROFESSION LEAVE ME ALONE
All images are drawings I made with my own two hands! No ChatGPT, a student did not use you for once!!
OTTO KANE (BEGINNING)
This is our lovely protag, Otto Kane :D!! I LOVE HER EVERYBODY LOOK THIS IS MY NEW MEDIA RELATED FIXATION LOOK AT HER.
CHARACTER BIO: Meet Otto!She's a woman in her late teens living in suburbia Weston who indulges in just about every other religion for the sake of feeling better about herself and being above others in terms of power.Very much unlike the protag of last year's portfolio project, Otto could definitely be considered a genuinely bad person. Though it is factual that she's a fiend for power, she's not even bad in the MWAHAHHA IM EVILLL way (that's for later ooo foreshadowing ooooo)! She's bad in the "oh wait what lol i did what now?" type of way instead! And that makes her all the more beloved to me :DD She's just naive guys, she lives in her own little world doing things for herself and herself only and she doesn't know what's she's doing πππKinda like me except I do make an effort in being more aware of my surroundings and being a better person every day and I don't live in tunnel vision I am incredibly observant :D Otto and I are NOT the same BUT I STILL LOVE HER LOOK AT HER DUDE ISN'T SHE SO AWESOME
COLORS: Otto's starting costume consists of friendlier colors than what the rest of this film has! These said colors consist of WHITES (you will NEVER see white again after this one), blacks, bold/dark reds, and a lil bit of yellow. The white will represent Otto's naivety and innocence before seeing and going through some insane stuffs for her oh so very adored power. This color intentionally takes over most of the outfit to really convey that :] The blacks that are worn on her head and bottoms are meant to represent her hidden flawed out morals and ugly sides of her personality that are later meant to be brought out even more once she begins to slowly lose her humanity after taking the deal, and finally the reds will convey her deep desire for power.
As the film goes on, more red will be on her one way or another (kid named blood) WAIT I LIED RED WASN'T THE LAST! ONE MORE AND THEN WE GET ITTY GRITTY! Lol I lowkenuinely added the twinge of yellows (that being her earrings and maybe her belt buckle) cause I thought it would look cool BUT I HAVE MEANING! I put it in my supa awesome google doc that it symbolizes Otto's hidden madness and evil that's about to be brought out by Annie :D YAYY OKAY LETS GO STARTING FROM TOP TO BOTTOM LETS GO IT'S ALMOST MIDNIGHT LETS GO
BLACK AND RED SOMBRERO:Like I mentioned before in a past blog post, my group and I decided to make Otto wear this hat cause cool and I agreed to do so cause cool BUT! IT HAS MEANING! SIT DOWN SUPER AWESOME BLOG VIEWERS! In the beginning of our film, Otto wears this hat in a very silly goofy way, in a way where you're able to see her eyes and face very clearly just like that one spongebob picture that Andrew embedded into our doc that I mentioned to you guys before in the past :D This way of wearing her hat will represent her naivety while also representing her inevitable doom at the end of the film. The black and red both mean evil and loss of humanity, and that is slowly coming down on her as the prod goes on!
WHITE SHIRT THAT SAY'S CALFISM CALFISM CALFISM CALFSIM ON IT: This lovely thang was given to Otto by Annie after she secured the deal with him to go on and spread around his "Calfism." Like said before, the white of her shirt will represent innocence and naivety. Otto's morals are a little flawed, but she still has a heart and her humanity throughout the whole beginning portion of the film, but the red of the design will symbolize her later descent into loss of identity, sort of acting as a warning to Otto and viewers alike that something isn't quite right. This shirt will involve a little bit of DIY! As SOON as possible, I am going to purchase a plan white shirt and draw on it with my own two hands :D WAHOO!
this but with CALFISM CALFSIM CALFSIM CALFSIM CALFISM CALFSIM
BLACK PANTS WITH BELT: This is the one of the only pieces of Otto's costume that was not given to her by Annie cause she already was wearing that while going up to him. I already have some pretty awesome black pants that I always use for band concerts so this piece of the costume is all set and ready to go once it is time! WAHOO! Also I added the belt cause cool :D And it's something Otto would definitely wear I mean bro just look at her :D
a lil something like this
guys omg it's 11:11 make a wish!
YELLOW EARRINGS: This is the token twinge of yellow that is going to be included in Otto's beginning and ending outfit and I already stated it's symbolism that being hidden madness and such so there's not much more here to tall ya! Except I do indeed already have a PLETHORA of earrings to use so this piece is absolutely set LETS GOOOYEAUH!!
would you eat this
BLACK BOOTS: Added them cause gnarly yo what main character doesn't wear some cool ass shoes lol also cause black is part of the color palette and every step Otto takes leads closer and closer to total destruction YAYYAYAY
i am totally not using the same boots from last year ur nuts
Okie dokie! That should be all for Otto (beginning version)! Time to move on to Otto (EVVVILLLLLLL VERSION MWAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA)
wait can I state something real quick before we go
okay thank u england i love u
OTTO KANE (ENDING)
okay yeah we're a little gone now. Everybody meet evil Otto! :D Our lovely protag who uh...sold her soul to the devil and never really came back! Rip Otto you would have loved Dan Da Dan!
EVIL CHARACTER BIO: Literally just Otto but with the life completely sucked out of her. It's kinda sad to see really but also she looks super sick like this, almost like she was meant her entire life to look like as such. If I meet any Otto's from this day on, I'll forever have the black, red sombrero wearing, power loving gal who made a dumb deal with your typical "southerner fella" come to the lovely rainbow factory of a brain!
EVIL COLORS: Unlike previous Otto, the color palette for this Otto will be MUCHH darker! The only white that is on her will be pretty almost all covered by blood and the rest of her outfit is just BLACK. That is the main color here my beautiful people! BLACK!!! Lots and lots of black, dark red, and a twinge of yellow! WE GETTING EVIL NOW
EVIL SOMBRERO: Otto will still be wearing her same very iconic black and red sombrero but this time around it's going to be worn in a very ominous, scary manner, to the point where some of her face and eyes are covered and and and she looks super duper menacing and evil and stuff almost like the NOT devil! She will look like that other one image of the scary looking dude that Andrew also embedded into our Google doc that I've also shown you before in a past blog post but LOOK
EVIL BLACK BLAZER: This lovely SUPER cool piece of clothing will ALSO be given to Otto by Annie after a little while into the film! The white shirt she was wearing can still be kinda seen, but by this point there's a heck ton of blood on her, so what's on there might be a littleee bit illegible! BUT ALAS! This piece will work to show Otto's further slow but sure descent into losing her soul to Annie and make her look like she really means some business, business in this case carrying out insane things for the NOTTT devil :D I have plenty of blazers at home right now but since there is a high chance that I'll be absolutely drenched in "blood" after filming, I'm going to buy a whole other one for pretty cheap on Amazon so my parents don't kill me when I go out to perform during this year's Band and Guard spring concert and see their daughter looking like a walking and talking tomato :D HOORAY!
snazzmaxxing
EVIL DARK RED GLOVES: This took me a second to decide on but I definitely think this is one of the coolest pieces of Otto's costume here :D
EVIL BLACK PANTS WITH BELT ON IT: Same thing as Otto's previous costume except this time it's there to really crank up the 10x darker color palette that Otto has currently going on here :]
EVIL YELLOW EARRINGS: We madnessmaxxing now >:DD Same thing again as Otto's previous costume except she's like "mwahahahhah im evillllllllll mwahawhhaha" now :DD
EVIL RED TIE: OKAY WAIT THIS ONE ACC MATTERS I made evil Otto wear this not only cause I thought it would look pretty gnarly but also because the amount of red on her increasing as the film goes on is definitely something that I'd love to incorporate! Red on Otto means hunger and her absolute deep down desire for power power POWEERRRRR so yay hooray for more red as she loses her mind yayayayayayya :DD
EVIL BLACK BOOTS: evil black boots
ANNIE CHRISTIAN
CHARACTER BIO: ThisisnotthedevilthisisnotthedevilthisisnotthedevilthisisnotthedevilirepeathisisNOTthedevilyouarejustgoingcrazythisisNOTTTthedevil Annie Christian is your kooky fun loving, silly typical everyday southerner man WHO IS NOT THE DEVIL and NOT THE ANTAGONIST OF THIS SHORT IFLM looking to spread around his new cult that he made after branching off from the church to TOTALLY NOT SPREAD SATANISM LMAOOO WHO WOULD DO THAT (????) and just have a good time frockling around in the fields with his bestie westie Otto Kane THAT HE DID NOT SUCK THE SOUL FROM AND TAKE IT AWAY FOREVER okay im going to stop now I have to move on
COLORS:Annie's palette is literally mostly just black (besides his horns). This is used to create hella sense of mystery and "who the freak are you and what are your motives"-ness :DD! Barely any red here is used intentionally cause too much would already give it away even though it's painfully obvious cmon it's a comedy film that Annie is indeed the devil
GAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
BLACK COWBOY HAT: okay fine THE DEVIL will be disguised as your usual southerner man with a heavy accent so duhhhhh wearing a hat is an absolute must! Esspecially because he's hiding some horns underneath even though they're super long uhh pretend that they're bended down OOO yes that's canon now cause I'm one of the creators of this film and I say so YAYY he's hiding his horns cause he can willingly bend them LETS GOOOO!!!! This lovely black cowboy hat has already been used in last years portfolio project with Charlotte! We might use mine! We shall see! History never fails to repeat itself! NO SERIOUSLY IT DOESN'T OTTO IS LITERALLY JUST A KOOKIER MORE EVIL CHARLOTTE
LONG BLACK TRENCHCOAT: oOooOoOO mysteryyy oOooooO the intrigue OooOooO WHY IS A SO CALLED TYPICAL SOUTHERN MAN WEARING A BLACK TRENCHCOAT IN LIKE 30,000 DEGREE WEATHER???????? Yes our version of the devil is canonically really bad at blending in with average humans, especially those in hotter states like Florida cause uh cause he's a lil dumb man I love writing characters :D Bro thinks a human is just a person with clothes NAHHHH MFKA LOOK AROUND YA YOU ARE NOTTTT BLENDING IN WITH THE TYPICAL FLORIDIAN anyway yeah this guy is pretty creepy and I want to convey that from the get go so here we are! Long black trenchcoat! Since we are indeed in the Sunshine State and no one in my group including myself has a long black trenchcoat, I'm going ahead and purchasing one online for cheapy cheap cause Annie might also get a lil bloody! YAAYYY YAYYYYY!! BLOOOOOOOOOOOODDYYY RIPPPERRRRR!
why the actual freak does time move so fast why did we set up this system
fart
BLACK PANTS: BLACK PANTS bro
i wanna be a dog in my next life
guys holy hell its almost the end of the school year
lalala dee lalal doo lalall mee lalal youuuuuuuUGHGHGHRYHRHAGGAHAHAAHHAHAHAA
MABLE KANE
Upon drawing Mable Kane I was all like "holy shit she looks gnarly why are we killing her again"
theres no family cooler than the Kanes yo
CHARACTER BIO: Mable Kane is our deuteragonist and Otto's sister!
yes they are a living breathing Cain and Abel eference thank you joaquin
Unlike Otto who is always looking for power and self fulfilment through religions, Mable is completely utterly full on against everything her sister does, especially the religion stuff as she's been through some pretty heavy discrimination as a queer individual from those who consider themselves religious. Unfortunately this is a pretty real and typical thing that has been going on in this world for a while now, I've been through it myself and so have some of my friends, so this aspect of Mable's character is pretty down to earth. Apart from her supa angst, Mable is a lot more cooled down than Otto in terms of her personality, she's rebellious, badass at some times, serious, (nonchalant) and often dogs on her sister's stupid actions, maaybbee like 24/7 idk man blame Otto she's the one doing some crazy shit everyday
COLORS: Red's and blacks! All the red on Mable also represent a secret hunger for power but instead of Otto, this red is on her chest instead of her head or anywhere outside that general vicinity. Mable's desire is kept IN and she never really expresses it like her crazy ahh sister. However, there's a whole ton of black on her, which in this case symbolizes all the weight whether that be discrimination, hate, or Otto's stupid activities that will eventually lead to her demise, that has to be carried on Mable's back as a burden and as something that she has to deal with daily and later die to.
we're going up up uppp it's our moment dudndnuddund golden gonna be gonna be golden i need sleep
DARK RED CROP TOP: this red is on her chest instead of her head or anywhere outside that general vicinity. Mable's desire is kept IN and she never really expresses it like her crazy ahh sister. this red is on her chest instead of her head or anywhere outside that general vicinity. Mable's desire is kept IN and she never really expresses it like her crazy ahh sister. do not waste your time reading this this red is on her chest instead of her head or anywhere outside that general vicinity. Mable's desire is kept IN and she never really expresses it like her crazy ahh sister. this red is on her chest instead of her head or anywhere outside that general vicinity. Mable's desire is kept IN and she never really expresses it like her crazy ahh sister. rip otto you would have adored copy pasta
it's fun to stay at the YYYYYYY MMM C AAAAA
BLACK LEATHER JACKET: This is going to be the darkest part of Mable's entire outfit in terms of color. I already said before back up there in the color section that the color of this piece will signify Mable's constant burdens that will end up ending her one fateful day when Otto Kane, her sister, decides to go up to a strange man in a black trench coat and a cowboy hat. I designed Mable's costume with my best friend Isa in mind who I'm hoping we're able to get so she can act for Mable :D If she does end up being our Mable we will already have a supa awesome black leather jacket in store! HOORAY! If not then I cop real quick.
BLACK-ISH PANTS: I mean idk bro they're black-ish pants what else do u want me to say okay fine they're not as dark as Otto and Annie's pants cause apart from her burdens, Mable isn't really hiding any truly awful bad qualities that are yet to be brought out by a disguised supernatural being :D Yay Mable for not killing people and stuff under the devil's influence! she dies though in the end oh no aw man Mable you'll always live in my heart
BLACK SNEAKERS:can't have drip without insane shoe game
hai cambridge watch me partake in the reason why people doomscroll :D
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
anotha otto doodle π(the big EV, 2026)
THE DOOMSCROLLER BECOMES THE DOOMSCROLL-EE: EMI'S SUPER AWESOME SOCIAL MEDIA PLAN!
I AM ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING AN INSTAGRAM INFLUENCER EVERYBODY SOUND THE ALARMS!! It is finally time I begin to plan out some of my social media page >:D! As the team's social media manager, I thought it was an appropriate time to begin actually thinking about each and every single thing I intend on incorporating into my page to have a clearer vision and more certainty on eveerything I'm trynna do for like the next 3 weeks! Even if we didn't choose a name for our film yet, I still have a TON to work off of and future Emi will definitely thank me once it's time to make each post :D
PLATFORM AND PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE SHOWCASE:
The platform I'll be using for my lovely page will be the one THE ONLLYYInstagram!! I'm already pretty experienced with all things Insta :D I post once in a blue moon on my personal account, was very active on my Sound of Thunder saxes account during marching season, and post kinda frequently on my spam account! I really love just getting on the app sometimes and making some really cool ass looking stories and posts for the lovely masses to enjoy so doing this with much more intention for my super awesome film project will be a blast for me :] Here England look at my previous experience posting on the app isn't all this super duper cool and awesome
sum emi stories >:D
I ADOREEE THIS ONE
The backgrounds and the stickers are just so MWAHH CHEFS KISS!! Since I'm the living embodiment of purple, I went ahead and utilized a dreamy looking purple background and made it pop by adding some celestial stickers like stars, moons, all that jazz :] A lot of people really loved this one :DD Especially because my haircut went really hard :DDD Best haircut in the entire world :DDDD
me and my beautiful best friend Isa (give her a modeling career) matching on twin day! :D I went ahead and decorated the entire thing with a white background and some white stickers to really make our outfits stand out to the masses :]
b day party post :] this one was SUPER intentional! You may only see one slide but I made it 100% absolutely sure that all the pictures I include in this post are PACKED with neon lights and darker lighting! The goal was to highlight the general vibe that my party had to make this post really stand out!
End of marching szn :]] I filled this post up with each one of my absolute fav pictures taken throughout the season and made them look a little bit more nostalgic using a warm filter :D I love this one
Since the sax section color is red I went ahead and implemented a whole ton of redness into this story :] A lot of the sections in the band don't really embrace their color so I thought this was a really cool approach to just stand out and be all like "YAYAYA WE'RE SAXOPHONES AND WE'RESOPROUD"
Song used: Punkrocker by Teddybear (go listen to it RIGHT NOW)
remember when the Superman (2025) movie came out during the summer and that songwas trending and we all had hope in humanity for like 2 weeks yeahhh i miss it too
this was a fun day :] I decided to go mostly white with some red highlights to avoid being repetitive while still maintaining the inclusion of our lovely section color >:D Being consistent is cool guys!
This was the summer post for the 25/26 season where I intentionally included a whole ton of professional pictures of us locked in and doing our thang during rehearsal to show that we were killing it all throughout band camp! This combined with the selected song really added a whole ton of aura to my section which was EXACTLY what I was going for ;D
One of my absolute favorites! This was our fall post made in the beginning of what we in the Sound of Thunder call "Bandtober!" This marked a new era for the saxes, and I made sure to make each of the 3 photos included have some sort of a fall vibe with a nice warm filter and a dreamy sounding song :D
Back in my social media research post I told you all a whole ton about what type of posts I was thinking about including on my page but it's now time I get a near to solid idea of exactly what I want to do! Check it!
Click here if you'd like to see where I got inspiration for all that down there! :D
Beginning of page:
1. Promotional art as a solid intro
-Taking inspiration from the Deadheading social media page! I really really would LOVE to do this. We really didn't have to last year in AS, but for mainly my first CCR video, I went ahead and created this really cool piece of our characters Charlotte and Phillip standing on the hill where the boss got buried, looking back at their shadows which are meant to represent their dead loved ones.
I hung this thang up in my room and really just look at it once in a while cause it's that awesome, even though my art style and skills have come a long way since then :] Making this type of art for our lovely film (once it has an established name) would be AWESOME. I can make some really really cool art from the concept and aesthetic that we have built up so far which can stand out big time towards audiences and make them be all like "woahhhhh those 3 weirdos look like they're making something really sick, I mean just LOOK at the promo art! WE MUST WATCH!!!"
2. Meet the cast/crew posts
-THESE WILL BE FUNNN!! Just like how the Loco page did it, I plan on implementing our film's colors and aesthetic into each one of these posts so we can stay completely on brand :D!
Imagine this but instead of these lovely people it's Andrew, Emi, and Joaquin :D
And instead of the green aesthetic it's gonna be a really cool crimson red evil aesthetic >:]
evil aesthetic be like: im evil
There will be two of these postings! The meet the crew post will just consist of the 3 of us in our usual fashion while the meet the cast post will have the 3 of us (and one more actor for Otto's sister) in our silly character costumes! It'll be a really fun way to get audience to know the lovely people behind the crazy ass movie they're about to watch in a couple weeks :]
3.Some pre production videos showing processes like gathering parts for costume design, making the postcard, location scouting, etc
Taking inspiration from both the pages of Deadheading and Loco! I would love to film any significant moments during our pre production stage! I will definitely make one of myself while costume designing, that including drawing, coloring, and finally buying!
I'm currently in the beginning process of coming up with the costumes of our main characters Otto and Annie and intending to have a supa clear idea of how their outfits will look like no later than this Saturday. As of right now, I have a pretty blurry vision on how I want their costumes to look like, which is why I've been drawing hella mid shots of Otto and no full body yet :D It's gonna be like that until later on Saturday trust times will change!! Throughout the days I'm designing, I will definitely be documenting most of what I'm doing to be able to post on my social media as soon as possible πππ
Besides just touching on the costume design processes, some other pre prod videos we could include can revolve around the making of some props, the postcard which could definitely star Andrew, and any other fun things that come to the amazing-totally-not-insane brain of mine! Each video will be quick, pretty fun, and quite weird as that is the tone I really want each one of our posts to go through since our film is super duper kooky and so is the brand for it :D I'll have a good time with these postings :]
4. Some quotes
Given the absolute absurdity of our short film, this is DEFINITELY something that I would love to incorporate within my social media page! These types of postings will start making their way on da finsta once we have our script finalized and ready to go :] It's important to post lil teases like these to begin setting the general weird ass tone for our piece and give audiences and tiny taste of what they're about to watch on April 10th! It's gonna be awesome and funny, maybe super funny :D Perhaps even hilarious :DD
And OMGOMGMGMG I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS LIKE JUST NOW LIKE LITERALLY A FEW SECONDS AGO BUT IN THESE QUOTE POSTS I WOULD LOVELOVELOVE TO LIKE HAVE MY DRAWINGS ON THEM!! Like the image won't justtt be a quote, it will have a character from the film, whether that be Otto, Annie, Mable (Otto's sister), or some other side characters, ALONG with the quote! This will make these postings look 10X COOLER OMG GUYS WHY AM I A GENIUS.
I just got the idea I yelled out a couple seconds ago from this Pinterest image I found a moment ago :] These types of pics, even if they end up making my Pinterest feed very creepy will be what I'll look at while making quote posts for some inspo :]! holy quacamole this formatting is cray cray
Inspired by every single social media page I've looked at so far! Like I probably said various times before in the past, I would love to put in a whole ton of high quality pics and vids of our prod days taken by my lovely Canon EOS Rebel T7 :] After each filming day, I intend on posting a picture of the cast and crew as a mark of completion and to notify audiences of our supa awesome progress! These BTS vids and pics will likely be very silly and very goofy and edited to match with the color palette and overall brand of the entire page since I'd love to remain consistent with that :D
From the Loco page! This is the type of BTS i'm going for :D
2.Some more promo art to reel in the artsy fans!
Inspired again by the Deadheading page! I’m planning on posting 1 piece of promo art after every other filming day complete (!) post :D It’s important though to not make tooo much so these works can still be really special and stand out a lot to audiences so whenever they see them they’ll be like WOAHHEOAHHHHH GUYS NEW PROMO ART WAS POSTED YOOO GUYS GUYSSS CHECK IT OUTTT THIS IS SO COOL AND AWESOME AND AMAZING WOAAHH
ALSOALSO for these promos I would love to make some of them come from like the universe of my short film :D Last year I didn’t have to once again BUTTT I made this really cool Wanted poster for Charlotte which was a real thang that existed in her world of super cool wild westernness! In my current project’s case, I’m mayhaps thinking of making 1 promo an advertisement poster from Annie for his cult which will be the flyers likely included in the film when Otto puts them up to spread it to the masses :D This approach will be very fun to do and execute and will likely end in viewers feeling quite immersed in the world of our film and the characters before even watching it! WAHOO!

As we get closer and closer to the release date of our film, I would liketo make these next couple of quotes get progressively more ominous and unhinged! This will make audiences be all like LMAOOOO???? and really want to see our supa cool movie :D Intrigue is the absolute goal here!
Inspired mainly by the Fudge Sundae social media page! By then, we'll probably have most of the filming wrapped up and finally will be able to construct some supa awesome key art that the masses can look at and be all like yo I am SO sat for April 10th guys holy shit why is that a month away and why is time moving so crazy fast my goodness IM GONNA BE A SENIOR NEXT YEAR????? UR CRAZY!!!!!!!
If I do decide to insert ONEE more quote right before the film's release, I'll MAKE sure that this one is ESPECIALLY weird!! I'll literally take the weirdest line out of Joaquin's script and post it to create even more intrigue for our film :] And knowing the first draft of our script and the last draft even though I haven't seen it yet, weird lines will be EVERYWHERE so it will be a task full of honor to find the weirdest one out of the bunch!
this one is acc so funny to me
3. Teaser!
Inspired by every single social media page I've researched! Every page I looked at had some sort of trailer or teaser or short video at the end of their postings, right next to the date of their film's release. If we have the time, I really want to do this :D It doesn't even have to be a whole trailer as obviously that isn't what my package is about and it would take up a good chunk of time, so the approach I'll go for will definitely be a really short video/teaser leading up to our film's release to stir up some "oooo lala this looks so awesome"-ness!
Like this but shorter :D
4. FILM IS OUT!! WATCH NOW OR DIE post :D
Mainly inspired by Deadheading's page! Their posting is not exactly a HEY! FILMS OUT GO WATCH post but still is something that I want to reference :D I would love to make a similar post to theirs and instead making it about the final day of production (I'll do that already in the middle section), I'll make it about the fact that the very next day will be April 10th and that everybody much watch our movie or die! Mayhaps I''ll make the description ACTUALLY really similar to the title of this number I'm typing under right now guys wouldn't that be so cool we're gonna be creepy n stuff oooOoOOoOoOOoOoOOoOoOOoOooooOoOooOoOooOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOooOoOo
it is so freaking dark in the room im currently in i need to step outside and eat pasta or something
im gonna do that
until then i love you super awesome blog readers and i love you english lads bai bai im so hungry bai bai emi must eat bai bai chau mwah te amo muito
oh wait omg before I go I forgot to mention one more thing!! THE HIGHLIGHTS!!! Typically on social media pages you'll find that there are collections of stories called highlights and that is something I'm definitely thinking of doing, especially for the BTS as I know for a FACTT that I'll have a whole ton of videos and pics on my hands and would love to post post post which is more so acceptable with stories instead of posts! Toooo many BTS posts would feel too repetitive and we don't want that! The rest shall go in the highlights! As for other highlight collections, I'll think and see what other topics I'll use for my stories and what to name the rest of the highlightes I've said highlights 6-7 times now everybody laugh
SO YEAH! That's actually everything for now :D I lowkenuienly have quite a lot on my plate but I know with hard work and consistency I will be able to get through everything okay :] I'm gonna watch Perks of Being a Wallflower now
