Creating props

 

For our video it is very much hippie orientated, and focuses on auras and free spirits. Our main singer is this unique indie girl and to add to this creative quirky side we want to show, we will use these unusual objects which I created. This idea will add to her creativity and weirdness we want her to have, as they are slightly weird and you cannot really tell what they are. They look a bit like crystals in the idea that they are similar to rocks. It also could relate to the beach, almost as if she has picked up rocks or shells and she is collecting them. We will place these objects in the bottles scene amongst the jars and bottles circling the singer. It will allow us to fill the room with more props and create it more visually appealing having interesting objects as well as the jars.

I spent a few days creating these objects as I felt it would really add to our music video. I have created around ten fairly small objects as shown in the pictures. To create these I simply bought some expanding foam and sprayed it on to a plastic bag. This foam then expanded and grew into an unusual shape similar to rocks. I let them dry for a few days until they had fully expanded I took these photographs. To add to the psychedelic theme of our video, I am going on to paint them bright colours. This will put emphasis on to the objects and make them stand out.
