Poetry in the Making

I had a lot of fun making the Edgar Allan Poe poem Annabel Lee. It was almost like a movie set directing the actors to sit a certain way or face a certain direction. It took about 3 days of painstaking editing, going back and forth between the game and photoshop. I wanted each scene to be perfect and to capture the mood of its respective verse.

I've loved this poem for as long as I can remember-it's always been my favorite and Poe has always held a special place in my heart. I was born a writer and have been writing before I could talk. I love to create stories and have about 2 dozen unfinished novels on my laptop. For me, Sims is a way to visualize what goes on in my head. I'm notorious for drafting storyboards in class and writing late at night by the light of a flickering candle.

I'm also a huge details fan and love to take my time with each piece. It's the same way when I throw pottery. I labored over each photo checking the lighting and the objects in each frame. It's a work of love - I hope you like it =)

I'm also thinking of creating a behind-the-scenes story clip to show the lives of my wonderful actors. They were so natural and I fell in love with the seaside cottage the set centered around. We'll see where imagination takes me.
