Logo Time!

Hello!

We are here under our new logo! I really wanted a simple logo that showed what the company was about and had the full name but wasn't over powering. I went with the grid background to emulate a gridded canvas ready for a painting. The face is self explanatory, the main features that a make up artist focus' on and then the company name. I think the logo looks really professional and I can't wait to use it in the videos!

Filming Has Happened!

The Art Historical Make Up Company has filmed their first series!

Setting up the room took about an hour and with the help from the photography team at LJMU, I was set up with a professional canon camera and a standing double LED light, which light the room and the faces perfectly. After borrowing a stool from the fashion department the room was ready. 

The first shoot was Cubism with Jess. It went really well, apart from the fact I forgot mascara, thats what editing is for! Jess really liked the look so wins all round!

Next Pre-Raphaelite, Ellie was a trooper and dyed her hair red for me! The hair really made the look, it bought it into the 21st century so very grateful she did that! Ellie's looked even more beautiful that than the run through with the professional lighting!

Modern Pre-Raphaelite Muse

We filmed Emily's Geisha look on the wednesday and by then I had got the hang of setting up lighting and cameras. We were in a different room which I preferred as it had natural lighting. This time I opted to a single LED light and this improved the quality of the footage greatly. Emily's complexion really suited the look so all my worries were for nothing (she even kept the lip look on all day!)

Run Through Time!

So run throughs happened this week! The wonderful Ellie took on the role of model for the evening and we took over her house with my make up collection!

A knock back this week was losing Isobel as a model. Luckily Emily my flatmate has stepped in but there has been a change in the line up, so Ellie is now our Pre-Raphaelite model. This has meant a hair change colour for her, but has also back up my inspiration of creating a modern version of a Pre-Raphaelite Muse. Jess has gone for the role of Cubist, her fringe hairstyle does fit in with this look. So overall it could have been so much worse! Every cloud!

I'm so glad I decided to do a run through as it highlighted some issues, especially with the Cubist look! First the pictures!

So overall the run through was a success! Pre-Raphaelite went off without hitch! Ellie looked amazing with her new hair colour, the shadows all blended perfectly, I was really happy. Both the Cubist look and the Geisha has some hitches. In my plans I had created triangle cheek panels which mimicked cheek bones. However when I applied this, the affect didn't play out on a human as wekk as it did on those paper sheets (told you they were tricky) So we put out heads together and thought we would try different shapes which actually worked better so that was a plus! The Geisha look just didn't come across as dramatic as I hoped, I haven't changed anything in hope that its just because of Ellie's currently look doesn't fit with that of a Geisha. So keep your fingers crossed!
