Pre-Life Crisis Storyboards
The project is nearing completion as there's only nine images missing from the sequence. Most of the images do need tidying up in Photoshop still but I made substantial progress with this over the weekend. Once the images are complete they will be printed out onto photo paper and then photographed onto slide film on a copy-stand.

The best things in life are free but you can keep them for the birds and bees I want money, that's what I want. So with this in mind I've started thinking about things I can sell online to try and recoup some of the cost of the Pre-Life Crisis Project (which fortunatley doesn't involve much in the way of material costs - about £100-120 for slide film and processing, about a fiver for pens & paper and £50 for coffee and biscuits. I don't think I'll be able to claim for the wine and rizlas). Now the obvious thing to do would be to sell prints and postcards and I am very keen to do this as soon as I can find a suitable printers and persuade my bank not to cut up my cards. In the meantime though I was struck by an incredible notion. As Pre-Life Crisis was conceived as a film and is now being storyboarded as though it were a film (see polaroid to the left), why not have suitable tacky tie-in merchandise? And so it came to pass that yesterday I spent several hours on cafepress.com setting up not one, but four stores full of Pre-Life Crisis souvenier goodies.
