Red Carpet Awards - Short Version
This is the short version of the Red Carpet Awards, available on the Dollie Dreams Youtube channel. This is the first major foray into doll filmmaking for us. It took 6 weeks to get everything done, from costume making, set building, filming and editing.The hardest parts were the motorcycle shots - the driver had to be taped onto the motorcycle and Miss Glitter kept sliding off! What an adventure.
Gallery
This photo was from week one of a historical photo shoot.
The Girl in the Yellow Dress shows the paneled wall set that I build a few years ago and used in week two of the historical photo shoot.
This was the first photo I ever took of my dolls in a set. This was waaaay back in the early days!
Snow King and Queen - this was from December of 2019 and is the second staged photo I took of my dolls. I had 10 days to make the costumes, put the set together and take the photo. It was busy!
Japanese garden - this was another 10 day photo shoot. I made the little house in the background and the kimono.
Front view of our lovely Japanese girl.
18th Century sacque back dress - another 10 day photo shoot. I have no idea how I got that dress done in time...

This was the final week of the 10 day photo shoots, and is a recreation from a painting.

About Us
I'm Ellen Sheets, and I want to welcome you on behalf of myself and my family. With their support and a little assistance now and then, we are now in preproduction, building sets and sewing clothes and costumes for short doll films, episodic and full length features.

We are pro life and pro family Christians with a heart for young people. We are a homeschool family, and desire to share our love of learning with others. We value high quality entertainment with no fluff and free from harmful agendas.We are committed to creating original content that is suitable for all ages, faith based and family friendly.
Custom Made Costumes and Sets
If you love historical costumes, realistic sets and beautiful miniatures, follow along with us as we get ready to make the magic happen.There is no pink plastic in our Dollie Dreams ... it is made from custom sets, hand sewn clothes and costumes and beautiful props and furniture that we have been collecting for years.

ROBIN HOOD IS IN PREPRODUCTION
Robin Hood is coming! We were hoping he would be here for Christmas, but I am afraid that he and the Merry Men are tarrying and won't be here that early.
Here are some highlights - set building started November 18th, and costume building is going on now. There are a LOT of costumes planned, and there are still a number of set pieces to build before filming starts, so please say a prayer for us to work quickly!As soon as Robin Hood and Maid Marion have costumes, they will be making an appearance here. To get notified about updates, sign up on the mailing list.
The pond, grass and trees are all recent builds. The walls in the background have been built for a while.
The bookcase, scrolls and chairs are all recently built. The chairs aren't completely done though! The books are little wooden books that I repainted a while back.
Side view of the bookcase - the larger map scrolls were made a while ago for the Girl in the Yellow Dress photoshoot.
I have been collecting produce for years! The market display tables are a recent build.
You can see off set with this angle - the little bags of food were so much fun to make!

We have just a few things up so far, including a terrible green screen test. Don't judge. Everyone has to practice. :)
If you want to hear about what's coming next, sign up on the email list. There is a lot of work to do before filming starts, and I would love to have you along for the ride!
