& the Award Goes To...

Michael Gore for Best Special Make Up FX on Gruff's Bridge!

A few months ago, Michael was told that Full Sail submitted our 35mm project into the Florida Motion Picture and Television Association. Today we stopped by Full Sail around 6pm (it was quite cool and windy out) to get photos of Michael with the award for "Best Costume". Unfortunately, the award stays at the school, but he was able to get a certificate that he now has framed next to his diploma. 

Mabel and Julie are also listed on the award as they helped out too. Mabel was Production Designer and Julie picked out the 1940's themed clothing for the young female actresses. Our 35mm teacher/producer, Andrew Campbell took the photo of Michael and I. (Possibly a good one for the fridge?)

For old references, here is a photo of Michael touching up some make up on Gruff, back in January 2011 - taken by Josh "Jasper" Behrens:

You're a Mean One..

Michael has been working on a Grinch costume for AJ - on and off - for the past few months. He got it all finished last Saturday and we were able to have our photo shoot. It wasn't as elaborate as we once talked about - a few Who's and a Cindy Lou Who, all in front of a big Christmas tree. It became just a Grinch photo shoot mostly, with one Who (Angela) who was the DP - director of photography, in charge of setting up lighting for the BTS video that she made. Here are some pictures of Michael and AJ getting the Grinch fur added onto a cowl, back in November. I was asked not to post these pictures until the whole shoot had been completed. So finally, here they are ~
