LipDub

I'm really trying to make the most of my time at RSAMD, so I'm really trying to make more of an effort get involved with extra-circular activities and so I decided to help with LipDub. At first I had no idea what LipDub was but its basically people being filmed lip synching to a song hen dubbing over it in post editing with the original audio of the song, originally it was the TPA and DFTV second years collaborative project but sort of blew up into something bigger so they needed all the help they could.
So a couple a weeks ago I went to a meeting for the applied artists who wanted to help out, and we had the task to make the costumes for the Killers song Bones but they had to made out of paper! I really wanted to make sure that I showed that I was willing to help out and to make a good job of my dress as the past few weeks I felt that I hadn't really been able to show my true abilities as everyone on my course is so good, and I guess I felt i was pretty rubbish at everything, so this is how my dress turned out :




I made the bottom by hand sewing lots of paper folded fans to an old tube skirt I had, and I made the corset top by rolling pages of newspaper into long tubes, sellotapeing them together and sticking paper spiral to the top part with super glue!

Here's another LipDub photo, on the saturday we applied artists made countless UV stars to hang with the moon (made from a large bouncy ball covered in white fabric)
