ABOUT ME
1. I'm only at the start of Season Three of Community but I can genuinely say I have never related so much to a character as I have Annie. I'd like to think I am the unholy crossover between Jess Day and Annie. I have the same reputation in uni, can get a little bit manic and am rather renowned for my bewbs lol
2. Game of Thrones is filmed in and around my hometown and its brought so much business to the area there hasn't been a better time to be a film student here. In fact, I completed my profile for an Extras website last night so you might be seeing me on your screen for a tenth of a second in the near future!
3. Doctor Who was my very first fandom and Series 2 was the first series I iconned. It was a part of my old icon journal name so it has major importance.
4. I am a throwback to the 1940s/50s in the way I dress and speak and I have a really penchant for period dramas. Also, I just loved Brideshead Revisited and Hayley Atwell. Again, its the bewbs.
5. I am a bit of a dreamer and a film buff (I'm about to graduate with a degree in Film Studies and am going on to do a Masters) and Eva Green will forever be a person I will icon.
SWEDEN
I seem to have this, dare I say, obsession with Sweden, with their music, film and people. So these are some of my favourite things from Sweden.
6. ASKARS! - Well, my love for True Blood and Generation Kill speaks for itself and what's not to love about a handsome 6'5" blond giant?
7. Lykke Li is genuinely one of my favourite artists of all time. Seeing her live only cemented this thought but she is definitely my favourite Swedish musical act (of which I love many)
8. Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, in its original Swedish form is an excellent film. I'm yet to read the books (a summer project).
9. Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Redux). While I love the Swedish version for being the first adaptation and being in the native language, I do consider the Fincher version as the better of the two, only because it is clear it had a bigger budget so that the visuals matched the amazing storyline. I'm a fool for some beautiful cinematography (as well as awesomesauce scores)
10. BERGMAN. Probably my favourite director. I hope to specialise in Scandinavian Cinema one day :)
FILM
As a film student, I have a special invested interest in, well, film and so these are some of my favourites :)
11. Drive, a highlight of the cinematic landscape. This film is just plain awesome.
12. Midnight in Paris. This film is one I could watch over and over again and never tire of it. Allen's witty scripts strike once again!
13. Casino Royale, one of my most iconned films. This is another go-to film for me. Beautiful and so different from the regular James Bond fare.
14. Harry Potter. This film franchise literally started at the dawning of my teenage years and ended as I was about to leave them. Forever a friend on those lonely winter nights when there is nothing else to watch. Plus, I was going to audition as Luna Lovegood but my parents couldn't take me to London :(
15. In the Mood for Love. Wong Kar Wai and Christopher Doyle are a dream team for cinematography fans. This film is beautiful and heartbreaking. An icon from this film was my default for AGES.
TRUBLUD
True Blood is probably the fandom that would most be associated with me and I will forever icon it because it makes my job so easy, with the deep shadows in the lighting. I've made an icon from each series to express my love for the show lol
16. Pam and Eric. What more has to be said?
17. JESICUH! Forever my favourite character to icon due to her gorgeous hair (although you don't see much in this icon :s). Also, I do love a close crop and contrast in an icon.
18. Once again, it's Jessica. The text comes from the Miike Snow song 'Devil's Work'. I'm not one for using text much but I thought this icon called for some :)
19. Are you guys getting sick of Jess? Because I'm not lol. I loved the shadows in this screencap and the possibilities of vibrant colouring as well.
20. SURPRISE LORENA! I love to icon Lorena and so her appearance in that flashback in the latest episode of True Blood made my day lol. I'm always envious of makers who can create this glow in their icons and so I have tried to do it myself in this icon. It was really hard to colour this cap but I gave it a good go and once again tried to do some text as well.
