I was hooked after read the treatment by Alicia J. Rose for "Golden and Green". HOOKED! The description of the video was a magical melding of two sources Wisconsin Death Trip and my undying favorite outsider artist Henry Darger. My mind pretty much melted right then and there.

I was so excited to work on this project and come up with a creepy/scary/cute/otherworldly look for the ladies cast as the Vivian Girls. Here's the evolution in pictures:

This is just a testament to how hard these girls worked on this video. These champs really powered through. We started calling their days "ballerina bootcamp". fierce.
