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.

Custom Made Costumes and Sets

ROBIN HOOD IS IN PREPRODUCTION
Robin Hood is coming for Christmas!
Costume making is underway, set building is next and dolls are auditioning for their parts! This has been in production for quite a while, and things are really coming along.The camels are not yet house trained… you should see the mess. Oh my.As soon as Robin Hood and Maid Marion are cast and 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. :)
