SVU season 15 Promotional cast photos.....

Ok, it is late here (01:00am) and I just saw (a few hours ago) there has been released the SVU season 15 cast promotional photos...... let's say they look different and it is a nice different change of promotional photos....

Though... and sorry guys, but as I'm sitting here in this corner of the world and not in the land of SVU, and right at the moment rather filled up with editing photos and such, how about a written visually idea of a promotional photo that I wouldn't mind try to do....? you know... we all get ideas on those right...? Ok, so here is my idea.... remember it is just an idea... (we can dream, wish etc. etc. for the folks behind to get the same ideas... etc. etc.... who knows....)....

Ok, since we know it is going to be a rather ahem hard start on (ok I'm biased....) #Bensidy / Benson and Cassidy... here's an idea...

Mariska/Benson standing front vise and looking straigth at the camera, bruised, maybe with the dark leather jacket from back in season 1...(yea...  ;-) ), right hand in a fist, in the left hand a gun, maybe with a bit of smoke or blood from her, the eyes a bit darkish/lost/fighting for her life/future/SVU....

Dean/Cassidy in his uniform (again I'm biased....sigh) standing with his back to her looking over his shoulder, with a hand sort of reaching backwards to her.... or the gun.... to save her from..... ? (after the beast have been well... taken down..?), there is a tiniest light on him as in my humble opinion he could be the one stepping up helping Benson through the trial after the Beast....

The light around them is darkish with a bit of light in the middle, if that makes sense...  yea... the #Bensidy promotional photo....

Now....

Danny/Amaro.....  I would kinda of do alone, as he has his own battles to fight both inside as well outside the SVU squad..... maybe standing a bit to the side, with one hand kinda of reaching out.... for a better furture... helping someone.... with some light on his hand and he "stepping" out from the darkness too....

Kelli/Rollins and Ice-T/Fin.... now who knows what they come up with as partners in the new season? maybe place them in a V shape (Kelli to the left and IceT to the right) facing each other and looking out in lighter suit color and yet still a bit darkish background.... maybe Kelli with a pair of handcuffs in her right hand and IceT with the badge in his left hand raised up to see... they are badass right.....? or is there something more we don't know.....?

Richard/Munch.... oh well (sheppish smile) I actually had an idea of him kinda holding a UFO keyring in his hand as a "tribute" to the comments Munch always would have ready back in season of the beginning... maybe I'd do the same promotional photo as has been released however maybe with a small black book in his hand... keeping tap on all those who are behind bars... or something else....?

Raul/Barba....... (I'm biased again for a moment...), I'd place him in the lovely court room where so many battles take place for him, only I'd place him up on the judge spot, maybe standing up looking down to the camera in his well known shirt and colorful belts he always wears....maybe with some light coming in through the windows as looking early morning - fitting... the light for the right for the victims (and Benson.....;-)  ).... yea....

Dann/Cragen...... in his well known suit in his office, with a letter opener (? called?) between his hands looking pondering about.... his furture... life outside SVU or can he leave SVU......?

Oh well..... one can dream.... here are the promotional photos which can be found on link or scroll down.... 

yea can we have the season opening like.... now....?

SVU Promo teaser poster......

So yesterday I posted a different kind of miniposter teaser - see previous post... where I also mentioned I was set back around my ideas on how to do it, as I was inspired by another poster. Specially when you get challanged on stepping up. I had to come up with something else in my own way....and a word came to mind, which is offen used in the world of SVU... "ripped" from the news.... and sadly for "Benson"... marked by her trial of the beast.....

So I've made another promo poster (I'll do the poster for the episode once we get the advance stills... Warren, LA???) with two different kind of text, but with the same look. I took it from the reactions on twitter after the promo video was released.... scary.... (Thank you Warren & SVU guys etc etc you know who you are...). I know it is mostly centered around Olivia, which is why I've kept it like this....

 

 

So it begins.......

So today the good people behind the SVU released the promo for "Surrender Benson". Earlier in the week Warren tweet this:

 "‏@warrenleightTV 20 Aug

While we're waiting for the NBC promo, start making your own #SaveBenson promos. We'll happily retweet the best"

A day later he tweet about this:

Warren Leight ‏@warrenleightTV 21 Aug

mystery solved. this -- pic.twitter.com/Hom9u32fV7 -- was designed by the talented @katemakesphoto

Which by the way is an awesome poster and to say the least, I've been rather blown backwards, all ideas is just coming to a halt every time I look at it... I've spent the good way past midnight here to do my own reply. I came up with two posters. The first one is posted here, the other will be posted later as I am still editing to finish it, while I am doing another two for some friends (finally)... Challenged...? not one bit....

For this poster, which I originally had planed to work around till I saw the poster by Kate, I decided to call it "Survivor's journey". I came to think of an interview Warren gave about (very little) Benson and the squads journey after Benson's ordeal and how they will get through it (not much was revealed though), throughout the first half of the season. 

This may seem easy to say, but at every journey, no matter where you are in life - all around - there is the choice of darkness or light. And somehow I've a feeling that this will be a big part in the journey Benson will be on, on the road to..... darkness and back to the light.... 

The photo of the "light" is a photo I took 2 years ago, it is a bridge located in Vejle, Jutland and the silhouette would be me, taken by my good friend Kenneth L. Andersen a week ago. 

So this is my first mini #SaveBenson promo.... the other one will come out in a day or two times... once I have it ready.... 

Mariska Monday

So earlier today SVU writer Kevin Fox on twitter wrote:

"It's #MariskaMonday what will be shared today? Fans, do you have photos? Stories? Mariska moments you loved?"

I read this while on my way home from work, only to discover I was on the wrong train sigh (happened in New York too, so that would be the 2nd time this happened....) and ofcause all my other plans went out the window for the evening editing of photos, with images of what I wanted to reply to Kevin.... (and Mariska...) ;-)

Truth be told, there is so much which could be said and shared about Mariska, even I have had the change to see Mariska in action when I was in New York (see earlier post about this on my blog if you want...) and I have to admit I am still baffled and have to look back at my photos, just to remember it all over again.

Now, as some know I like to take photos and one of my "wish-on-dream-list-photo-to-do" and since I can't do what my dream is, I've made this poster instead and I have to admit one of my favorite moments of Mariska, is in the poster too. It is the photo on the right bottom side, where she sits by the window on a chair between takes on the set. I know how long a day can be on set - having been on tv and movie as extra myself - it is great to see wherever the SVU films around New York or outside, there is always a corner of peace to have a moment to catch up on the outside world from the set.

So I've putted this quickly together this evening (since it is Monday and I'm ahead of time here - I'm in Denmark, I couldn't do much more.....) so this is my Mariska Monday tribute poster.....

NOTE: part from the black/white photo of Mariska (far bottom left corner) which is from the Ladies Home Journal magazine, the SVU intro of Mariska, the rest of photos belongs to Mariska Hargitay. I've only used them here for the poster.

PS: any wrong spelling is my bad.....

Ps.: My dream photo to do? Well if I could/had the chance.... well for a poster teaser... imagine an fierce Mariska/Olivia front, with handcuffs in right hand looking straigth into the camera, Dean Winters/Brian Cassidy behind her looking half down on her shoulder with his right hand also holding the handcuffs Mariska/Olivia holds and with his left hand almost touching Mariska/Olivia's left shoulder..... yea could be a teaser poster for "Surrender Benson"???? One can dream....
