Set nearly a decade after the conclusion of Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Body Electric is a fanfiction that explores an alternate reality in which Data adopted Timothy, the boy left orphaned after the tragic accident on the S.S.Vico. Timothy has long since moved beyond the traumas of his past and has just graduated from Starfleet Academy, but his first away mission ends in a devastating encounter with the Borg. However everything is not as it seems and what Data uncovers will change life on the Enterprise forever.
Between Gods and Beasts is a fanfiction that was the result of an extended practice of lucid dreaming. This story is a Divine Comedy-esque exploration of the world of Ridley Scott’s Alien prequels and a morality tale of the dangers of fan devotion.
A cosplay couture interpretation of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes Costume (coat and hat) and styling by Courtney Coulson Photography by Luke Milton
Translating the BBC Sherlock Holmes into a fashion interpretation was surprisingly easy, it’s such a beautiful and iconic costume to begin with. The coat remains relatively unchanged from the original as does the scarf and purple shirt, though they are made of finer quality materials.All I really had to do was add the leather pants and boots to give it more of an edge.
As for hair and make-up, I made my hair as fluffy as possible, though mine is shorter than Benedicts’, the make-up was fun because Benedict’s face has a lot to draw from. I emphasised my cheeks and my upper lip and eyes and yet kept it subtle to maintain an androgynous look.
We shot in various parts of the city of Perth, most of the locations were lucky discoveries, amazing what you can find when you just wander around.
-Courtney Coulson
This shoot was all about exploring the city and poking around all the back alleys that we’d normally quickly walk past. We were focused on a very urban feel, but then it was nice to veer into the more serene setting of the church steps as well. This was the first time shooting while a lot of other people were around but it’s amazing how comfortable you feel and how much you can get away with while brandishing a camera.
I had no other equipment other than the camera itself so shooting on the exposed rooftop was especially challenging with all that direct sunlight. This was definitely a baptism of fire.
Happy Alien Day 2022, and happy ten year anniversary to Prometheus. Enjoy my audio commentary for the film in which I gush about how beautiful it is, continually compare it to 2001: A Space Odyssey, go on a surprisingly personal journey with this film and of course, delve into AI and philosophy.
*This version of the commentary is just my narration to be paired with the movie.
