    Shopping Penguin (or Makeup Day 2)

    Calling it Shopping Penguin because I’ve had it stuck in my head since discovering Parry Gripp, and I made little eye wings.

  • 2013: The year I inevitably become a makeup artist (and have so much fun)

    2013: The year I inevitably become a makeup artist (and have so much fun)

    It’s funny how life kinda throws things at you that then propel you into something you kinda wanted to take up, but didn’t have a huge need to. Without spoiling anything – I need to learn how to do a lot more makeup, a lot more things with it, and I need to learn it…

  • In which I buy lots more makeup

    In which I buy lots more makeup

    We’ve been working on preproduction for Hendstrom a lot lately – I’ve drawn out some costume alterations, put together a list of costume thingies I need – and, as you can see in the last post, started trying crazy stuff with eyeliner. I’ve decided to invest in tattoo pens instead, because 10 minutes in the…

  • Caution: First Attempt at Character Makeup

    Caution: First Attempt at Character Makeup

    First attempt at some kind of fantasy character makeup – using eyeliner and eyeshadow for everything, except some red lipstick. I know it sucks, but you have to start somewhere.

  • KieryGeek Preproduction Note 5: In-between Episodes

    KieryGeek Preproduction Note 5: In-between Episodes

    I wasn’t sure how the new set up was really going to work until I tried it. As weird as it is not filming and releasing an episode every week (today would have been dedicated to writing and brainstorming) I’ve found that I’ve actually been able to come up with more creative ideas, and more…

  • KieryGeek Preproduction Note 4: I'm Done with Preproduction!

    KieryGeek Preproduction Note 4: I'm Done with Preproduction!

    Well, at least the part that involves all the season set up. I’ll have ongoing preproduction forever, and I still need to memorize my script and take some gaming footage, but earlier this week I sent out the emails I needed to send out – which was the last thing on my list of things…

  • KieryGeek Preproduction Note Three: Organization

    KieryGeek Preproduction Note Three: Organization

    Over the last month or so, I’ve been writing down ideas and thoughts for the next season in whatever place I had handy. Last week, I went through and organized all of my notes into several google documents for easy access. I wrote the first script and idea-ized the next 12-15. I put together a…

  • KieryGeek Preproduction Notes Two: Origin

    KieryGeek Preproduction Notes Two: Origin

    In April, when we started the show KieryGeek, I didn’t really take the time to give any bit of origin story. Mostly because I wanted to get the show off the ground, but as we make our way into season two, I thought it would be a good idea to start off on the right…

  • Rude and not ginger!

    Rude and not ginger!

    Actually, I’m neither of those things, anymore. I generally try my best not to be rude, but after two attempts, I feel confident in calling myself (finally) ginger! I dyed my hair a few days ago, using Revlon’s bright auburn but it didn’t really stick. I’ve had the hardest time finding a red that came…

  • KieryGeek Preproduction Notes: One

    KieryGeek Preproduction Notes: One

    When I first started making my web series, I didn’t know what I was doing. Honestly, I still don’t know what I’m doing, but season two is getting a lot more thought put into it than season one did – for good reason. Season one was all about getting myself to actually do the show,…
