As easy as one-two-three

The making of WATERWORKS - the movie

WATERWORKS set up - notice the cat?

A crowdfunding-project without a cool video is like a living room without houseplants.. right?

Luckily one of our very talented friends agreed to help us out, and last Friday our home was turned into a small filmset to shoot WATERWORKS-the movie.

We started off feeling ill at ease, but with coaching from our professional director/camera-woman we quickly settled down, and as we got used to having a lens in our face the giggles subsided and we were able to shoot quite some useful footage.

A small glimpse of what went on: Thomas telling all about WATERWORKS

There's still a lot of cutting and editing to be done, but we're hoping for a premier on Saturday October 19th.

Sign up for our newsletter and keep an eye on this blog to be the first to see 'WATERWORKS' the movie.

We'll be at the Dutch Design Week - see you there?

During the Dutch Design Week we'll officially launch the WATERWORKS crowdfunding campaign and we'll be part of the exhibition of Dutch Design Starter at Sectie-C.

For more information about the Dutch Design Starter exhibit during the Dutch Design Week click here.

We're going to be at the exhibition as much as we can and would love to see you there.
Let us know if you're planning to stop by, it would be a shame if we'd miss each other!

Thinking about packaging

Working on the packaging design.
(we'd like to keep it simple yet chique - and sturdy of course)

freshly baked cones

no glaze - matte - gloss - white gloss

Look at these beauties!
Thomas picked up the first batch of fired cones today, fresh out of the kiln.

Don't they look lovely? And they feel so real too, making a clinging sound when they accidentally strike against each other

The main idea of this test-batch was to determine which glaze we're going to use.
Before firing i was pretty certain we should go for the white gloss, but now they cones are out of the kiln i'm tending more towards the matte version. Thomas, on the other hand, likes the darker glossy finish.

While we're both waiting for the other to change his mind: What do you think? Matte or gloss?

Waiting for the kiln

...glaze and all.
