Avatar Shoot

Earlier this week, we (James, Lolu and I) woke up at the butt crack of dawn and headed down to Den Bosch to shoot a mockumentary about fans of Avatar who like to gather for Live Action Role Playing (LARP) events.   The production crew we worked with does a lot of high budget commercials in Holland and the makeup artists they hired were awesome.

 

Makeup Table

 Finished Product

Didn't take very long, actually...but putting in those damn yellow contacts was the WORST!

 

Na'Vi Lolu

 

James Na'vi (the organizer of the event)

 

My Na'Vi name is Pika'ante

 

  

My husband, Buddy

(his character was the least enthusiastic about the event...so his makeup wasn't as rad)

It was literally the coldest I've ever been.  A hot cup of tea froze DURING a scene.  My left eye was uber irritated by the yellow contacts, false eyelashes, and semi toxic paint...and wouldn't stop watering for the next 14 hours.  Woops.

 The chick on the right had the best makeup.  Real Swarovski crystals were glued to her forehead!

 

 

 

Most of the group!  I see you!

  

Rawwwwwr!!!

 

  

  

 Y'know.  We're just some Na'vi tribespeople sitting at a Dutch craftservices table...on a Monday...in a house built in 1867...mmmm licorice drop gummies, stroopwafels and stampot...

****

And then we kidnapped Lolu...

I SEE YOU,

xxxxx
