The Fairy Princess Video

Maybe you have a fairy princess grand-niece but she's not like this one even though maybe you know how adorable it goes when she says, so proudly, "I'm six years old!"

With six years old, you have the image of that age.  She's a li'l girly girl in a state of perfect innocence ... and ... she likes to dance.


So there's your video, the li'l fairy princess is dancing in her li'l six year old way and ultra ideally this would be in front of a green screen.  Using that technique, the green can be masked out of the video completely with a chroma key which sounds difficult but is not.

For background, we have the deeply soothing sylvan glen and she is the fairy princess dancing in the center of it.  That aspect is easy because the camera only shoots some particular scene and it mustn't move although things can move within that scene because the fairy princess will superimpose above them.

Note:  if you like, you can make her partially transparent and make her glow, not so difficult to do.


Over the top of that, yep, lasers because we want the ultimate in cognitive dissonance.  That li'l fairy really does live in a laser world of metal and glass but she can also dance in the forest.  The object of this type of crossover is to show the juxtaposition of these apparently unrelated worlds which nevertheless exist together right now.

Note the importance of the smoke to reduce the piercing nature of the lasers and make their beams more of an entity to permit seeing the movement of the smoke.  To my taste, that greatly enhances the surrealism of any scene.


The video wouldn't paint anything which could not be real because the lasers would be behind the fairy princess.  That way there's no chance of them hitting her li'l eyes.

Since she's dancing, she will almost certainly spin so she will need to be told firmly don't look at them.  She won't listen because she's a kid and she has to know for herself but one time will do it and she won't do it again after that.  I don't believe that's enough for damage but my concern is whether that's true for a kid.  I've shot myself many, many times with the lasers but my eyes aren't still developing so I see a consideration.


(Ed:  what separates this from kiddie porn?)

Intent.

She's a fairy princess dancing in some kind of fairy princess outfit and maybe some creep gets a twisted buzz out of that.

In fact ... just the thought that's even possible bags it.  Let's simply go with the mental visual of what it would look like.  I saw they busted tens of thousands of those mutants on the dark net a few days ago and I suppose extremes are inevitable in a world with seven or eight billion people in it ... but ... (skin crawls).


(Ed:  wouldn't it only turn out as precious and, hey, look at the adorable grand baby?)

It could but the kid is whipcrackin' smart and has an adorable look.  I do think she could carry it.  I get it everyone thinks that of family but I have done this before with young kids and "Ice Cream Blues" is one example of something similar.  The Texas Tornado was, at the absolute most, nine or ten years old and that video was a riot to make.  That one was with lasers also.  I gave him my RayBans and it cracks me up just thinking of it.  He looked too, too cool.  Yevette dressed him up as a li'l bluesman and, man, did he play it.

It's not my dream to work with kids but sometimes it's a gas.
