the original lewis carol dodo bird

in the original movie, the dodo bird is an old inventor that walks with a cane. he is on the side of the queen, so we should try to portray him as having a cold personality

Close-up of Flowers

Notice how all of the flowers have distinct personalities? Their face shape and everything reflects their personality, as opposed to the first movie in which they all have the same personality.

Cards anyone?


Maybe cards could be some symbol in the musical

Mad hatter


Well, here's my first post. I hope the picture posts with it 'cause I'm not sure I used it correctly.
While the style of this costume is too punk for our production, the use of buttons and lace is rather neat. This hatter also seems a bit too color-coordinated, but there's still some pattern work in the under layers that looks great.

Labels


A note to the posters:
Please start writing labels for your posts as our blog page count is getting large. The place where you can put "labels" is at the bottom of the box, but above the "Publish Post" and "Save Now" buttons.

Swirl


OK guys, here's the update from the Tech team:
We're working on the background for the "Alice falls into the rabbit hole" scene. We have got one swirl:






However, we are considering using another one:

white rabbit revealed

beneath the happy wonderland characters there could be a dark side

and beneath the darker wonderland characters the could be a happy side that has been twisted

white rabbit idea...


Perhaps the White Rabbit could look like Bugs?

awsome set


more ways that contrast could be used
black and white could be used to create spacial optical illusions as well as make certain costumes stand out more than others

Sets













These sets are really cool
They match with our color scheme
They are all odd and out of proportion - one thing we were talking about
I like the mushroom one

tweedle dee and dum


It's just a thought, but I think that the Tweedles shouldn't look like the ones from the 2010 Alice in Wonderland, but instead they should have identical suits. (Black suit, white tie, ... etc. Post what you think)
2010 Tweedles:

White rabbit

Alices




Alice picture

adding deep purples greens, reds, or blues to vintage costumes would be cool

Creepy caterpillar

Caterpillar!!!

Set & color scheme matches with what we have selected.

Newer, real life characters (option?)


Maybe newer, more mature characters could be an option.

Cheshire Cat




The Cheshire cat is already kinda dark in the Disney version. Perhaps we could use these colors?

The Mad Hatter

I think this is what the mad hatter should look like. Old creepy and short.

anne hathaway as white queen in tim burton version




though white is not in the main color scheme, we could do some cool things with all black and white costumes to add contrast to costumes with colors, like having a red on top of white for the painting the roses red

two extremes



There is a game where you go around killing wonderland characters, this is an example of too dark. on the other hand, the disney version shows a happy girl in a primrose blue dress.

2010 Alice in Wonderland


The 2010 version was a bit darker. We should probably use that as a foundation. This is Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter.

Annie Leibovitz version of Alice

Annie Leibovitz is an exceptionally famous photographer (you've seen her pictures even if you don't know it). Here is her rendition of Alice:

Do you think we should have all the Alices with their natural hair color, or perhaps have them wear all brown wigs??? Ideas, thoughts?  Do we want to emulate the real Alice Liddel?

White Rabbit 2

Another white rabbit idea, with a completely different concept....another HitRECord thing....

Posting on the Blog

Hi All:

I thought I would give you a couple of pointers if you are having trouble.

1) Everyone basically has a blogger account BECAUSE you have a google account. If you want to sign up with a different address you can, but all you need is your go.oes.edu email address- your normal password should work on blogger. Just sign in like you would for your school email.

2) It will give you a username option when you accept the invitation to the blog- that is where you pick your pseudonym.

3) If you have never used blogger before I have found a very helpful (if not somewhat DRY) tutorial. This one is good- I looked at many and she will help you tons if you have never done it before!

Click here for #1
Click here for #2

You will be redirected to YouTube for these videos. If you have done some blogging before, you can view other tutorials, by picking them from the sidebar, which might be shorter and quicker.

Hope this Helps- 'The Other Alice' (aka Ms. R)

White Rabbit

yet another HitRECord Picture....

Shrinking and Growing Alice Video

Ok, so this is my idea for the scenes of Alice shrinking and it would be reverse for the growing scenes... It's just terrible quality and if we were to do this for the real thing i would probablly have a different video for each alice so the silhouette matches the actress, it would also be on a green screen so we dont have the huge chunks missing out of alice...Also it says its over 3 mins long for some weird reason... its only like 5 seconds long

Scary Cheshire Cat

Once again i did not make this....but i think this is a cool concept for the Cheshire Cat....

Darker Alice

I DID NOT MAKE THIS!! I have to say this becuse its from a website called hitrecord and people get really mad when you take their stuff and call it your own....But i think this really ties into the whole Darker Alice thing...

The New Alice.....
