If you thought high school was a matter of life or death, wait till you see just how true that is. But being dead doesn't stop Charlotte from wanting to be popular it just makes her more creative about achieving her goal. And all because she choked on a gummy bear. **No worms or caterpillars were harmed in the making of this trailer.Charlotte Usher feels practically invisible at school, and then one day she really is invisible. Some of the miniature trees have small branches that come from real trees. Plant debris from the ground (acorns, dead branches and leaves) from the cemetery were used to add some real looking elements to the set. Research was done at Greenwood cemetery in Brooklyn. Moss was shipped in specially from upstate NY. The trailer was made with a mixture of live action footage, time-lapse, stop-motion animation and 2D computer animation.
Over 600 graves ranging in scale from life-sized grave markers to 1/8th of an inch headstones were sculpted. The set was built from scratch using foam, chicken wire, paper mache, paint, clay, and wood. The ghostgirl Lovesick book trailer premiered on EW.com! It is set to a song written in the book by yours truly in the actual book and performed by the extraordinary Polly Scattergood featuring the legendary Vince Clarke.
