Anne Darwin

Who else received an enquiry from a film company to make a Daguerreotype for their movie?
Anyone get the job?

they got a quote from someone in the states.

I was approached but didn’t get the job. ” title=”Sad” /> I suppose that I couldn’t get it turned around fast enough.

They told me what you quoted to beat me down, I didnt go as low as you, but did offer a free sample for them to check, a mistake I guess because the director decided that it would be too difficult to film, after they had picked my brains on how to display/film etc. Ah well, its an experince and I can stick my Anne Darwin backwards dag in the portfolio.(I wrote ‘sample’ with my finger before I sent it….very satisfying).

Thinking of the bright lights of Hollywood, next time your renting a DVD try "Amistad" it has a scene in which a Daguerreotype is being made – by the hands of Grant Romer.
Any other cinematic depictions of the process?
