All of the footage from this past weekend's photo/film shoot has been captured! I've received from photos (that haven't been touched up yet from the photographer) from Saturday's shoot and put a few up. I hope to get Sunday's pix soon and will do my best to put a few up here as well.

I'm really pleased with how the audio came out from the shoot. I was unsure for awhile about how to capture decent audio from the girls while they were being photographed. I ended up putting a wireless mic on each girl (the poof of the dresses helped hide the bulk of the transmitter) and recording the audio direct into the 2 cameras we used for the shoot. I was nervous about how great the quality would be...but it's fantastic. What a relief! You'll have to wait for the doco premier to hear the audio, I will put a little footage up as soon as I get a moment to edit something together. Stay tuned!

Shoot Update: Things are coming along swimmingly for our Midsummer Night's Dream-themed photoshoot set for this weekend. Saturday is supposed to be gorgeous and Sunday (so far) has a teeny tiny chance of rain that I'm going to ignore for the time being. We're going to get a little creative about the shooting order, since one of the girls cannot stay for the entire shoot Sunday, so we'll get some shots in of her Saturday.

LoliGirls Documentary Treatment

LoliGirls: The story behind the frills and bows
 
A documentary that lifts the veil of the underground lolita fashion movement and sub-culture. 

Synopsis:

A real look into the world of lolita fashion as it presently exists in the United States. This fashion phenomenon first emerged from Japan and has slowly made its presence known here in the states. Though the Japanese version of lolita fashion is constantly evolving and becoming ever more creative and brazen, the American lolita is somewhat more demure. 

Here we introduce The Court, a small group of girls who gather together to share their love of this unique and whimsical lifestyle.  Not only did the lolita fashion take hold of these girls’ fancy, but it also managed to completely change their world. This is their story, and why it’s not just about pretty dresses and white lace.
