My 13-year-old Hi8 video camera won’t rewind anymore. I guess it’s decided to not look back anymore. Even camcorders get philosophical in old age.

I’m sorting through about 5 hours of raw footage in order to make a video of the read-through. Let the editing madness begin!
It’s about passion for fashion. These are not all the costumes, but just a handful. Elizabeth’s wedding dress will be kept under wraps until the film is released. The same will go for the monster’s look and costume.
In the world of Frankenstein’s Monster (2013), Victor’s obsession over Prometheus’ Spark, causes him to dive into multiple sciences. It is in his laboratory and through his creation that we will see steampunk elements shine. Some steampunk elements will not as obvious as others. Expect wood, metal, a claustrophobic environment, bronze, steam, symbolism, and other sciences represented.
A contrasting world will be created compared to Victor and his laboratory. The outside world exists in American Southern forests and nearby estuaries. It gives a feeling of isolation that matches Mary Shelley’s impressions. Women’s costumes will lean either Southern or Western. Most dresses will be either pastels or neutrals. Lots of frills. Some dresses with hoop skirts. All of the costumes are 19th Century.
Good news to share!
Unwoman, a genius in the steampunk music world, has granted us permission to use one of her songs as the background music in our promotional fundraising video! The song is called “Cruelty” and it’s a fantastic instrumental piece. It is number 2 in the link below. I encourage everyone to please support this generous artist.
We are pleased to announce that Preacher’s Powderworks & Projectiles from Austin, Texas will be designing Victor Frankenstein’s gear.
Big blessings! We have an audio studio! This will be very useful in post.
What for–sound effects, music recording and voice overs if necessary.
