VFX Production - Letter to Actress & Make Up Artist

For all ideas taken into consideration I have chosen the actress 'Sophie Jude' to to play the role I need.

I think she is perfect for the piece, one she is a dancer so she knows how to move very fluidly and effortlessly. I also decided to go with the blonde hair because there will be information in the footage for the light of my wisp fx to interact with. With my make up artist being 'Kirsty Layton' my sister, who is good friends with Sophie they have both happily agreed to travel up together and make a day out of it. Knowing my sister and Sophie being one of her good friends the whole situation will be alot more relaxed while having a fun time getting something done. Below is the document I will be sending to them, it's more for Sophie for what she needs to wear and what not but it includes Kirsty as well.

Letter

Hey, thanks alot for doing this, I hope you can do a serious face! Basically I just need Kirsty to bring her make up stuff because (as per a test shot I did here here) your face needs to be painted like a skull.

If possible could you bring a few things and have your hair in a certain way? Clothes wise I had imagined a white dress (not too flowy but something simple almost night gown like). But in the safest way could you bring a number of things black or white, simple clothes (black top and black leggings would be fine too) nothing too “sassy” that’s going to take attention away from the subject (you). The more options we have the better so just bring you like and we’ll see what looks best.

Your hair all I need is to just be down and natural, I don’t think straight would be best because having a few curls or waves would make the shots more interesting rather than plain. And your hair is blonde or a lighter colour which is great because I make it react more with my special effects after.

Again thank you so much for doing this, I will sort someway out of paying you both for your help. Kirsty will do a awesome job on your make up and you look perfect for the part.

I have the theatre studio where we will be filming from 3PM to - 8:30PM which is plenty of time to get everything, the idea is really simple and I’ll explain it when you get here. I will sort out the rest of the details with Kirsty as to where you guys can park near the uni among everything else.
