Qua Anh Cau Vong - Through the rainbow - The - Making of - Featurette

THE MAKING OF In 'Through The Rainbow' we discover an old, forgotten umbrella which tells a story of an unlikely friendship between an art teacher and a free-spirited, wandering man in the 50's Viet Nam. I need a close up on her face with those objects in the foreground so as she's spinning it basically we see the different individual objects... Can you come here and have a look? We went with the idea that less is more and we tried to be as creative as we can yet yet as concise as we can; we knew it's a short story, we knew that we have very, very little time, and we approached it with that mindset. We didn't try to do unrealistic things, we had realistic expectations, ambitious expectations, but realistic expectations. Basically I'm in charge of the style, the hair and make up. Everything's ok! It was kind of hard because maybe the 50's in a foreign country were not the same as the 50's in Viet Nam, so we did a lot of research, googling for pictures and I found this old, amazing blog with only pictures of fashion back in the 50's, 60's, 70's, in Viet Nam and and most of the trendy people in Vietnam that maybe had the money to follow the fashion, they would have the same styles so we have this dress that looks very 'post-war' style, and we have the other dress which is totally 50's, with all the flowers. We cannot see you 'superman' underwear. You dirty boy! You dirty boy... close your eyes. Making a film in 48 hours is really, really a challenge. Certain moments, Matt told me: "you have to act naturally" and I did act naturally but it turns out it didn't look natural. Then, I should figure out how the person in the movie actually feels about it and then act that way. I was always dreaming about acting, but I was too shy. This is a first time so I'm shaking a lot at first, but after that, my director is happy so far and maybe this is my first step to acting. I'm waiting for everybody to be ready. The light is very nice now, we should start very soon. I don't know, I hate interviews! COLOR CORRECTION SAMPLES (BEFORE/AFTER) We have basically had to listen to a lot of Vietnamese songs from that era and had to recreate all of the sounds electronically and make them sound authentic at the same time. We tried to get some Vietnamese influence on the music. We worked pretty much together with Matt, he'd tell us what he wants and pretty much we'd try to make some songs.
