The fashion show, and Connecticon are now over. Thanks you everyone who attended or participated in the Lolita Fashion Show! Audience numbers were topping 1,000!!!!
The models and the film crew had an amazing time. The Show was the last shoot for our short documentary, so now I've got to wade through all these tapes and put together an epic movie. It might be a quiet month here on lolitfashionmovie.com, but don't fret! I'll keep on updating and there are some little videos to keep you occupied until the September premier:)
Here's the commercial that played during CTcon's opening ceremonies promoting the Fashion Show (edited by yours truly!) as well as the longer teaser trailer:)
So you might have been wondering why this blog has been so quiet lately...and that's because the very LAST SHOOT for LoliGirls is THIS Friday, July 31st. That's right, the Lolita Fashion Show has finally arrived!!
The LoliGirls crew has been busily preparing for our last and biggest shoot. We've had two productions meetings in the past two weeks and we're finally organized and ready. It's been a bit difficult getting answers from the CTcon folks (although it's perfectly understandable, they have a lot on their plate!), but with the help of a very very wonderful person we've got the stage dimensions and film crew passes.
The Fashion Show will run from 5:30PM-6:30PM and will have two breaks. During one of the breaks we will show a very special 8-minute LoliGirls presentation. Behind-the-scenes shenanigans, photos and a new trailer will be displayed.
So please stop by and check out the event, it's going to be EPIC!
Sunday was our LAST shoot for LoliGirls before the Fashion Show! It was an exciting, and kind of a sad day. I'm going to miss all the fun shoots! I've really enjoyed filming the LoliGirls...and I'm sure they had lots of fun as well. I'd like to say a special thanks to my dedicated crew who've done an amazing job helping behind the scenes and, most importantly, dealing with me when I'm stressed!
So the day's shoot started at Julia's sister's house in West Hartford. All of the models for the show arrived at noon for Julia's meeting. All the details for the big day were discussed, included what type of loli each girl would model (I will be modeling sailor evidently!). After that Julia took each girl/guy's measurements. Once that was done we were supposed to jet over to Blue Back Square, but Julia informed me that the Fashion Show needed a short commercial to be played during opening ceremonies at CTcon. So we all brainstormed and quickly storyboarded a few ideas. I won't display the commercial here until after the show...I'd like it to be a surprise for the con:)
After that shoot we headed over to Blue Back. It was reaching 3 PM by this point and the air had warmed to a sweltering 85 degrees. The girls huddled under parasols, but I can only imagine how hot they were under all those layers!
I was hoping that filming in Blue Back would get us some good reaction shots from the public. I wanted positive and negative comments to use during a certain point in the interviews when the girls spoke about people taunting them in public. But...everyone was super polite! One group of tweens ran up to the LoliGirls and started asking them about their outfits and complimenting their shoes! All the vox pop interviews we collected were positive and encouraging. Although I was a little disappointed that we didn't get any critical comments, it was refreshing to speak with folks who were supportive of lolitas:)
A blurb for the Lolita Fashion show is up on the Connecticon website! This is the big show our 3 lolitas are organizing and modeling in. We'll have cameras (if all the permissions go through all right...) set-up at the event slated for July 31st. If you'd like to help out with the crew that day please let me know!
