Hannah's Ball Dress Thread

Hannah-Rose — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 05:57:55 GMT

Haha! A thread in which to rant endlessly and inanely about the creation of my ball dress, a sort of ball dress blog, if you will. I have tried uploading the shitty MSpaint image of my design, but this piece of bollocking website shitmatage told me that my filetype is not allowed. WELL SCREW YOU motionforum filehosting! You can't stop me ranting and given endless examples of my inspiration!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

TechnicolouredInsanity — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 13:55:39 GMT

HaHA! Now I can annoy everyone on here with pictures of my various corset-projects. Whoopa!

Unfortunatley I haven't any pictures of my latest, and you've seen my other three. So, tarnation in a teacup. Buuuuuuuuut I shall babble away in here until I get off my lazy arse and take some.

Tis a most lovely corset. I drafted the pattern all by myself for my ridiculously out-of-proportion measurements and after three failed versions finally did it! Wheeeee. This one shall most definately ...

Art History!

TechnicolouredInsanity — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:01:48 GMT

I thought we probably ought to have an ArtH section, seeing as most of us take it, so here we are.

I shall start by posting a copy of the mediocre essay I literally just finished, due first period to-morrow, which I've had since last ... tuesday to do? I've had over a week, anyways. Huzzah! Procrastination! (that's why it's so deplorably short, too)

That person will be awarded untold riches and fame! And some kind of actual prize of forum specialness that is yet to be announced... (You only find out if you get it.

I mean, frankly it's like

as usual, and the irony doesn't come off without the context.)

But surely the years are worth a tear?

I've not seen you shed one

so does that make it alright?

It's just her way.)

Salutations all.

*she waves fondly*

The name's Kaylynn.

*tips hat and bows*

My deepest passions are to write, to analyse, to perceive and to dream of making films.

Art house/ festival films are my deity.

Talk to me about such films and I will love you forever.

Music is my wife.

For the past few weeks, Kaylynn has put Kaki King's Jessica, Basia Bulat, Bon Iver and Bloc Party on repeat.

I can oft be found staring at patterns on the wall, particularly floral ...

Excerpt - Social Observations

Hannah-Rose — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 08:12:12 GMT

Excerpt from my novel:

Social Observations: Internal dialogues of the self-diagnosed mentally unstable.

The almost singular familiar face in all these unknown (though perfectly well categorised and prejudiced) visages, approaches me and asked an automated question as determined by programmed social etiquette (this must make him normal).

Logiebear — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:48:10 GMT

This is my Student short film from last year that won the Westlake Short film prize for a boys thingy. So it's all very prestigious.

We had to use codes & conventions of a tv genre, 20 shots (With one through or featuring a door).

Enjoy

Meeeeeeeeedia Studies: Unravelling

TechnicolouredInsanity — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 07:14:23 GMT

Unravelling

Statement:

Our film explores the nature of teenage girls and the preassures that are placed upon them, both by their peers and by media, to conform to a certain aesthetic and way of life.

Plot outline:

The film will open with the two friends sitting in a caf� (Starbucks or a similarly popular ...
