Here's your challenge: Create a piece of art or a craft project inspired by a favorite film.
This can be anything from a painting to a scrapbook page to a plush doll, a song or even a home decor project… let your mind wander. Choose a film that deeply inspires you and use those emotions to create something beautiful.
Here are a few trailers from some of my favorite films…. maybe you'll find something you haven't seen before?
(i like it better without the movie trailer dude voice)
best trailer ever. i love it.
Jeremy already wrote a song inspired by this film (well, 2 songs actually…) listen to it here. Magic!
happy creating!
PS. please feel free to reference your favorite films & add links to your projects in the comments here & add them to our flickr group!

I’ve been inspired by the scrapbook in the movie ‘Elizabethtown’ but haven’t actually put that inspiration into a project yet.

Have you seen I’m A Cyborg But That’s OK? It’s an awesome korean movie about this girl who gets put in a mental institution because she thinks she’s a cyborg. Really cute and quirky, i think you’d like it 🙂 she even has a little box where she keeps her underwear for each day of the week 😀
here’s the trailer on youtube:

my ideal project, i think, would be to completely redo my office so that it looks like the room in penelope. but i have neither the time nor the space for that, so maybe i’ll figure something else out. 🙂
Like a previous person asked, when is the deadline for this challenge? 🙂
Here’s my project:

it is amazing and beautiful.
I’m still thinking about this challenge. I’m still working on it. I love The Family Man. I’m watching it right now, and I thought about the challenge again.:) I love your blog, and I never say hello because I figure you get a kajillion <3 emails a day, but I decided to make it a kajillion + 1 today. xo.
“Amélie” and “Science of sleep” are two of my favourite movies too, gotta see the others… i have “You me and everyone we know” at home, but haven’t seen it yet. Have you seen “Jeaux d’enfants”? it’s great too (in english “Love me if you dare”).
