Voodoo Girl

My first short art film I made based upon a Tim Burton poem called 'Voodoo Girl'

The audio isn't too good, but I hope you enjoy anyway.

'Her skin is white cloth,
and she's all sewn apart
and she has many colored pins
sticking out of her heart.

She has a beautiful set
of hypno-disk eyes,
the ones that she uses
to hypnotise guys.

She has many different zombies
who are deeply in her trance.
She even has a zombie
who was originally from France.

But she knows she has a curse on her,
a curse she cannot win.
For if someone gets
too close to her,

the pins stick farther in.'

@TheCrystal0817 I based this film on the parts of the poem that meant the most to me. And to me the main message was that Voodoo Girl couldn't get close to anyone without getting hurt. I wanted to make it slightly surreal and have it so that she doesn't necessarily physical get hurt when someone gets to close to her, but the more someone else likes her, the more she hates herself and feels unworthy. It's just my own take on it. =]

I like the music in the backround sef composed or is their a recording?

[andybutch13]

@midnight8731 thank you, yeah it's self composed, but as this was all for coursework it was all rushed so the music isn't perfect haa, I don't know if I have a seperate file for the music. haa sorry

is her make up suppose to emulate the make up on the face in Jacob's ladder or in saw?

[andybutch13]

no, it's meant to resemble an illustration of 'Voodoo Girl' in Tim Burtons 'The Melancholy Death Of Oyster Boy & Other Stories"

But I see where you are coming from =P

I hope you enjoyed watching.

Trouble is that it kind of differed from th epoem - no hypno eyes, no zombie slaves. Apart from that, film was well shot and the girl was gorgeous

That was sooo good. In our version we made our Voodoo girl kinda like a fortune teller tied to a chair, but I kinda like yours better :)
