Apocalyptic Ballerina - Transformer shoot
We were up at 7am, armed with aluminum foil, lights and a toddler. The electrical transformer shoot was an homage to the tin foil hat wearers of yore, so we were ready to go full on shiny. In our apocalypse, the transformer repels chemical clouds, so it’s the place to be.
My husband Dustin ran around with the baby, and Steffen, Linda’s husband, was trying his best to create tin foil couture.
Many thanks to PG&E, for letting us shoot outside their transformer. They are nice and not very close to any residential area, for the record.
We shot the set in reverse because we thought it would be easier to take foil off, and it wasn’t really easy to move in it, let alone do ballet poses. But, as usual, Linda is a rock star and made it all look super easy. We ended up with amazing cloud progression which really adds to the story.
We recently realized that we can’t do a 2 hour auction on eBay, so instead of falling back to an ‘in-person only’ paper auction, we are going with the 3 day duration which will end at 7:30pm on Thursday. That means that the auction starts tonight at 7:30pm! If you come to the show and win, you can take home your piece at the end of the night. If you win online, we will ship it to you.
So, you can have the auction pre-set up on your phones during the show, to bid as you’d like, or you can use the iPads we will have available on site. Those of you at home should be naked, or wearing full body zebra suits… if that’s your thing. No pressure.
