This was a really fun project, I just wished I had some extra time to correct the ears so the sunnies can sit right in.

I learnt a lot of new things and might make a second attempt in the future with less excessive cardboard to punch through. 🤣

It was the first time I tried to style hair with cardboard. So a huge shoutout to @rachaelstott because your hair tutorial and work on Capaldi's DW comics helped me a lot. 🤌✨✨

(Might try to do more detailed photos as requests but I have to work with what I got. 🤌)

(Here's a couple of the shots with no sunnies on)

Rewatching Truman Show for the first time in a long time, and the detail that’s stuck with me this time is the set design.

The characters drive modern cars and hock modern products, but it’s all presented with a veneer of 1950s wholesome applecheeked Americana. Truman’s life is presented as an escape for the audience from the drudgery of the modern day, and the aesthetic they’ve chosen for this is the post-war economic boom. This is the simple time, the movie says. This is the good time. Doesn’t the modern day suck? Let’s go back and see our friends from the days when life was good.

And it’s a lie. Truman’s life is a lie, and the image of white picket fenced suburbia they’ve presented is a lie. It’s an elaborate construction to recreate a false memory that’s comfortable for advertisers. The movie is a satire, but it’s also a very blatant statement against the nostalgia for a golden age which never existed. It’s a lie. It doesn’t exist.

I don’t know. I’m spitballing. I’m biased because I despise mid-20th century Americana and I naturally treat it with hostility, but it’s very gratifying to see a movie kind of agree with me.

Let me tell you a story.

Earlier in the summer, I went to Florida with my friend. We decided to visit a town nearish to where we were staying called Seaside, as we had heard it was a cute place. What I did not know at the time was that Seaside is the place where they filmed The Truman Show. It was a "master-planned community," constructed in the 80s to be the perfect beach town.

Seaside, FL

Seahaven

And yes, it really does look Like That. Not just in their tourist-agency photos, in real life it looks like that. Arguably the irl Seaside is even prettier than movie Seahaven, because the the office buildings where Truman works don't exist; the town is 100% cutesy homes and little shops.

The latest issue of Radio Times has a new Doctor Who Peter Capaldi photo shoot that I’ve art directed – look out for it. Pics by Richard Grassie.

Thinking about Donna's desktop computer having a big sticker right on top of the screen saying "DON'T UPSET ME, I'M RUNNING OUT OF PLACES TO HIDE THE BODIES" which is probably the most Donna Noble thing ever.
