As some of you might know, I am now in Cape town again, preparing another shooting (shoot day tomorrow).
Today on our pre-production program: location recce, wardrobe fitting, belly casting (now... come on guys, can't show pictures here - we just need it to shoot a gentle demo, really - yes, I'll post the film when on air) and set building check.
While at the set builder studio, I made a strange encounter... the huge head of a dragon (picture above)... just, laying there in the middle of the room. Wow! Absolutely unexpected.
In a fraction of a second, imagination flew me away. I was ridding on the "Neverending story" dragon, on a trip "Finding Neverland", where "Big fish" can be found. Some films lift you up when you see them. They make you "believe" in dragons, Tinkerbell and giant fishes. They boost your mood and bring you good... vibrations. They make a smile "pop" on your face.
Do you believe in the magic of imagination? I do. Now if you would excuse me, my "Happy feet" are moving too much. Fellow penguins calling... obviously. : )
PS: Yes, I do recommend the above films... and eventually some imagination in your everyday life, to be different and most of all to "believe".

This photo is so vivid! When it comes to stories and dragons, I'm in. Somehow the (possibly) most grim periods in history (esp. for women) are extremely fascinating to me. Did you ever read Ken Follet's "Pillars of the Earth"? Fantastic! I read not long ago that Follett is working on a sequel. It would be interesting to see what he comes up with.

Ahhh...Big Fish. I cried and cried and cried. Happy tears and sad tears. I love that movie.
Did you love Edward Scissorhands, too? I just saw it done via modern ballet and it was AMAZING. There was a big moon, too.
