October 31st – Happy Halloween! Yesterday was an interesting day. Caroline and I decided to post the album to the popular website Reddit to see if we could get any traction in getting it to go viral. While I’m not sure it’s going to get that far, it did get a pretty good reception and ultimately received upwards of 150,000 views. We spent most of the evening drinking apple cider and refreshing the page as the views went up. It’s been an incredible experience, and while we’re glad it has finally come to a close, I think we’ll look back on it fondly for the rest of our lives. Thank you to everyone who has supported this ridiculous idea, to those of you who helped with the pictures, bought or made us costumes, or allowed us into your home or workplace. I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as we have.
This final picture was taken in the same warehouse in Newark as many of the others. We had been looking for a red tricycle on Craigslist and had ordered a tuxedo on ebay. Caroline actually sewed him the big red tie and put on the make-up while I fiddled with the fog machine. We shot this one about 5 weeks ago, and keeping Charlie standing was no easy task. Had we just done it this week when we were there for the Sweeney Todd photo, we might have had a much easier time. Nonetheless, of nearly 200 shots, we got this one that we’re incredibly proud of. I was able to adjust the color in Lightroom to give it the green, disgusting background that became a staple of the Saw movies. There was no question that this would be our Halloween finale. Game Over!
