So I've thought about it. And my initial shoe is a little too well known to incorporate into a different brand. Though there are several knock off versions for many brands I just don't think they are unique enough for this project. I have a new shoe in mind. I will have to reshoot. I'm going to shoot black high top boots. I also got a friend to shoot another type/material of boot. Photos up soon.
Now I was sold on my boots from the man reason they were waterproof and it's winter. Somehow think thats not the best story to sell.
So for the concept/story.....
I saw a trailer of 'Sucker Punch" a little while ago. Though I have no memory of the storyline I did like the visual of the movie. Which made me think of movies with similar imagery. Resident Evil, Sin City, Underworld. So, I don't want to say the story I am going for is for a superhero. Because the term superhero flashes images of Triadic colour schemes,capes, slicked back hair,men wearing tights and George Clooney's bat nipples. Instead I will go with the character: Super heroine, female protagonist, Combat chick or badass bitch. The are always strong, powerful,capable and they can kick some major ass.
I like the visual comic book style of Sin City. Mainly chromatic colour scheme with pops of colour.
Trying to defeat the undead or simply just on the journey to kicking ass? Need a good pair of boots. Obviously.
Now I have no idea what is going on in Sucker Punch (Maybe I should watch the trailer again) But from what I can tell the girls in some kinda of combat in a fantasy world. Fantasy or not they will still need shoes/boots.
I also like the monchromatic visuals of these pictures. But will probably explore using more colour as well.
Rain/Walking on water? Need some waterproof boots.
It looks like all badass chicks wear black boots.
