Alice
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to check in and share a bit of what's going on with
me right now. I am so excited! I feel very lucky to be a part of Tim
Burton's new film Alice In Wonderland.
It all started off with me designing an Abbey Dawn/Alice In Wonderland
collaboration for my fashion line at Kohls. I was working at the Disney
offices going though graphic images from the movie for my designs and
getting up to speed on the movie project. I was really inspired and
excited about the film at that moment, so I asked Disney if they would
like me to write the theme song for the film. They went back to Tim and
he said yeah give it a go.
I was so excited when I got the news! I sat down on my piano
immediately and wrote the song. I wanted to come up with something a
little on the moodier side to fit his film. I think the piano adds a
cool dramatic element to the song.
I met with Tim Burton and he played me some clips from his film. I
finished the song and he really liked it and said he wanted to put it
in the film as the first end credit song. OMG soooo cool! Hehe. Disney
also wanted to use it as there marketing song around the film and so I
shot a music video. So fun!!!!!
Working on this project was such a treat! It was such a great
experience and Tim Burton was an absolute pleasure. He is very smart. I
am so grateful for this opportunity...and can't wait to see the whole
film!!!!
Love,
Avril xo
