Front and back covers, I always shoot the
internal pages, but there would be real copywrite issues if Ishowed you all
those, and anyway they aren't terribly exciting being - for the main part -
cropped movie stills with a simplistic paragraph or two to re-introduce a few -
but not always all - the sets characters. In
addition I'd have to find a load more blurb!
Contents; they don't seem to be terribly
in-scale with each other, but having not seen the movie, I can't be sure it's
not meant! The really tall skeleton needs a hot water straightening session,
one day!
It's a problem I've noticed with these, and
I'm not sure why; they have to be painted so any post-mould distortion should
be weeded-out there; they are always loose in the compartment so it's not
squishing at the packing stage; there must be a moment where they are subjected
to a lot of heat, maybe up against the wall of a sun-drenched shipping
container? But around one figure per every three sets needs some work, usually
those with bases, or thin parts.
A few close-ups, as I'm not familiar with
the film (centred on the Central / Southern Mexican festival of The Day of The Dead), I
didn't really know what to shoot, so you get the demented Scooby-like dog and
it's . . . what . . . underworld version . . . doppelganger, opposite number? A madi-gras
decorated party-dog!
By far-and-away the nicest piece in my book
(and in my opinion!) . . . and in every Coco
book (!) is this jaguar/ram griffon/cockatrice hybrid hell-cat in a metallic
blue/green rainbow with purple and orange bits - to cool for fashion school!!
Returning to the contents point, this
animal is not explained in the text at all . . . but if I was twelve this would
be on my desk at school!
