La Science de Rêves Gondry-Book-Style

La Science de Rêves
Gondry-Book-Style


Here I went nuts and created a booklet on the good old fashioned way of director Michel Gondry. If it was about the Be Kind Rewind (again), I would call it the "Sweded edition."
You guys all know how he likes to create his sets and props with poor materials and recyclable, with clippings, papers and making it very "childish". Whoever likes it or not, just take a look at the clips he made to Bjork and see for yourself. Believe it, it is amazing...

First of all, I had everything in advance of paging and divide by the number of pages that I wanted to include.
Enlarging a few things here, remove some more unnecessary there and let's start printing!

The waved paper cartons serves perfectly to fit the book in the box.

The little window takes us to the dreamy world of the movie.
Just beautiful!






 
 
 
   
Removing carefully (with the help of the little window), the book comes out.
Still smell the glue.


It ended up with 14 pages - including DVD.
The book in my hands can look ugly and badly glued, but who cares? In this case, the more "home-made", the better! 
 
Open book, pages 1-2:
Highlighted the photos of the main characters and created a few clouds in cotton. Basic, right?


Pages 3-4:
An ode to the message that is told in the movie .I used some of the most famous and touching lines spoken in the film.
The bottom paper was glued with paper Craft.


Pages 5-6:
The outstanding visual. It is as if we entered in the fertile mind of Stephane.
And there's down on the bottom left, a small bonus:

Opening the image formed by two doors, we stumbled upon another image of the movie! It's like a world of illusion.
Pages 7-8:
Central pages. I could make a wallpaper from one side to another. I chose the scene of the giant hands.
The trick is shown on the pictures below ...


 Cut and mounted in order to rotate! Yes, the hands are movable on its axis!


Pages 9-10:
Starting the Technical credits, with a poster found in Deviantart (cannot remember the name of the author, sorry).

Pages 11-12:
Continuing the Technical credits. With the cast on one side and various information on the right.


Pages 13-14:
And finally the DVD, stuck in the cardboard.
In the poster on the left, even the labels are cut and glued on the cover. Another example of three-dimensionality. Or childish. Or Gondrynism, whatever...

Lovely work you have done! I love that the cover is as naive and original as the film was.
