With the eminent release of JUNKFOODGILRZ around the corner it is fitting to announce our second coffee table book KILLER KAWAII!!.
The idea for KILLER KAWAII came in the post production phase of JUNKFOODGIRLZ after both Spencer and I realized we wanted to produce more coffee table books and I had come off a major binge of watching a string of Anime fllms & TV shows.
My concept basically is;
Dress models up as Anime girls, give em cool weapons and shoot them in front of a green/blue/white background, after which we can composite them into crazy situations (like buildings crumbling, zombie worlds, futuristic cities dominated by robots etc). The result cool, cute, killer anime girls aka Killer Kawii.
Spencer agreed on the idea and photoshoots and post production on the pictures have already started with the help of;
Elden Cheung: Photographer
Mike Tam: Hair (including creating the Anime wigs)
Hiromi Naka: Make up
Sonya Fu: Composite Backgrounds
Spencer Douglass: Producer
Arne Venema: Concept, Creative Director, Costume Designer.
Expect behind the scenes pictures up soon !
