Petra Shara Stoor: Created Bird mask for this video
Production: Mats Udd
Year: 2011

About my work

Video artist/creator Mats Udd contacted me some time ago, asked me if I could create a rather theatrical looking big bird mask for a man to wear. He wanted the mask to be inspired by "the Knife" and their
style. Sure thing, I love mask work, and especially bird masks and feather creations, so I created this bird mask out of real rooster feathers and sent it to Mats. He used it in this video for Son of a
kid. I love when my mask work is featured in video productions, makes them come alive and kinda live on forever. Mats is great to work with, you might have seen the video he directed for Roxettes as well, called
"She got nothing on".

Behind the scenes of Takida - Haven stay

Petra Shara Stoor: Head Makeup Artist and SFX-Makeup

Production: Box Room & Sladge

Year: 2011

About my work

I worked with Takida summer of 2011 on this video for Haven Stay. Actress Sara Sommerfeld was also part of this video, she plays the main character alongside Tomas Wallin who plays her husband, as well as being guitar player in Takida.

The video was shot in Ånge, not too far from where I live. Chris Rehn, the director of this video wanted to capture how life can pass us by so quickly if we do not appreciate the things we have here and now.

Chris wanted the husband in this video to stay the same age, while his wife gets older and older as time passes by. So my job was to create 5 different makeups/ age looks for Sara Sommerfeld, or the "wife" in this video. In the first makeup/age she is where she is now, in her early 30's and from there the makeup changes. My job was to make her look older and older and older, with sfxmakeup, different hairstyles and wardrobes.. she transfers from being very young til and old age where she passes away. This video was shot during one hot summers day, we arrived to the location early in the morning and worked all day, and all night. We did not finish until 5 am the next morning. The last shot we took was the one when Tomas jumps off the bridge, what a dare devil. I am afraid of heights, and I must say, I could never have done it. There is also a video " in the making of", where you can see us behind the scenes, creating and shooting this video. We had so much fun shooting this video! What a great day!

Petra Shara Stoor: Created Black & White bird masks

Production:

Year: 2011

About my work

I was contacted by Leo Josefsson the director of this music video for Brandur. Leo had an idea about having two bird inspired masks created for this video, on dark mask for the male dancer to wear and a white beautiful creation for the female dancer.. Well, for some reason I have been asked to create quite a few bird masks, It has kinda become a signature mask trade mark of mine. I worked out the design, got a green light from Leo and started to create these masks. Leo wished for the masks to be a bit wild and crazy, inspired of birds but not necessary looking like real birds. So I added my twist of fantasy to them. I worked out the design in paper mache´ clay, painted them, added details and then a whole lot of work put into adding real authentic feathers from roosters on them both. One mask with black feathers, one with white. One male, one female. When finished I sent them off to Leo. Here is the result of the video. The dancers wearing my bird mask creations. Again, as I have said before, I love creating mask work for videos. The masks comes alive in a different way than when seen in a photo. It makes me proud to see my work live and kicking. Living on forever. Rather sentimental and it makes me proud, but that is how it is.

About my work

I have worked with team Populate before and it is always the same pleasure. Such a nice group of creative happy people to team up with, Peter Mattsson, director of this video asked me to come aboard for the creation of these commercial videos for Samglas. We shot these commercials in Uppsala, the car the actor sit in is on a trailer and the camera is placed in front. I am also in the car, but I am hiding behind the actor/actress when shooting, so that when needed I can touch up on makeup and hair. This was such a great day.

About my work

Working with Populate on this commercial for Schwarzkopf and their volume products Got2B. For this particular commercial I was asked to do makeup and hair for the characters and the story is that they go from having hardly any makeup and very fine nice hair, to adding a evening makeup and use hair products with that gives a lot of volume and create party hairstyles. So I did and here is the result. Another great day in the company of team populate and the rest of the people behind this production.

Petra Shara Stoor: Created female Robot for this video

Production: Mattias Johansson

Year: 2011

About my work

Mattias Johansson contacted me and asked me if I knew how to create a robot. He needed a robot for a music video for the group The Amplifetes. Sure thing I said. I had never created a robot before, but how difficult could it be? Well, I discovered later that it was rather difficult. But at the same time so much fun. Mattias had a vision of a trashed, half broken silver coloured female robot, half her body was gone and he wanted her eyes to glow red and then later on in the video... die out. I borrowed my friend Stefan's workshop and his tools to be able to create this robot, so I want to thank you Stefan for all your help on this project. I spent most of my days and nights that week creating this Robot I later named Wencoraa- " The girl of the future". Her eyes were glowing red, her arms were trashed, her armour once shining now looking a bit worn out... and she was part of this video. I still miss her. She was a special creation of mine. Later on Mattias released a remix version of the official video, and there Wencoraa gets more spotlight.

About my work

Camilla Holmgren Holmsten, studied in DI in Stockholm and decided to create a artistic video for her final exam work. Camilla contacted me and asked me to work with her on this film of hers, called Cirkus. She needed both natural makeup and hair for some of the characters, for others sfx-makeup and fantasy makeup. There were so many characters involved in this film of hers that my brushes with makeup were busy all day long. I created and painted faces, all from clowns to homeless people, to plus size catwalk models, punk rocking grand pa, poker playing mafia ladies... you can see them all in her video. The video was shot in DI locations, in Stockholm.

About my work

Leo Flavum, musician, author and a good friend of mine released a single called Rummage. I lent my vocals to this song and collaborated with Leo here so we decided to also create a music video to this song.

So, I wrote the script and put on the directors hat and summoned a hell of a lot of people to help us create this vision of the video we had for the song. As I work with makeup and mask I decided to create mask work and go a bit wild. So all the masks, makeup and headpiece you can see in the video are my creations. We built crosses, cages and scouted for great locations to shoot this video in. Roadside Picnic filmed it all and edited the video for us. Awesome! My sister Janina created all the costumes in the video, such a talent! Thomas Von Wachenfeldt joined us to play the fiddle in the video, since he plays the fiddle in the song, love his work! Susanna Sterner, professional dancer did the choreography, love that chic, Johanna Sandström, who plays the girl did such a great job capturing her characters emotions. All the scare crows and their great effort put into wearing my masks and acting in them all day long, fab bunch of youngsters to work with! Johan Wanselius who was in charge of everything working on set, Stefan Lundholm for your technical skills and all your help, Britt-Marie Sallander who made sure we ate the best food ever, .. We cannot thank you all enough! All in all, we had so much fun creating this video, we shot it in Gränsfors Hälsingland, during 4 days all in all and the local newspaper wrote about it and referred to me as being a witch and performing some kind of witch hunt. How funny isn't that, it still makes me laugh. I want to thank everyone who was involved in the making of this video, they are all credited in the end of the video!

About my work

This was the second time I worked with the band Raubtier, and this time Populate was behind the production of this video. E-type was also asked to take part in this video, alongside with many characters who got called in to act as fighters and warriors. This group of people were very talented, part of a group that performs role play and sets up medieval shows and war scenes from medieval times. The video was shoot outside the first day. This was a rather cold day, so we were all dressed up and I had my makeup with me and we used my car and other cars as a "studio" since there was no inside studio to work in There was a lot of fighting involved in this video, so me and my assistant Anna created sfx-wound on many of the actors, they lined up and we gave them different wounds and loads of fake blood. . E-type, another Swedish musician, who also took part in this music video, played one of the main characters and he got his share of sfx makeup and wounds as well. He plays the part of the hero that dies in the end. The next day we shot the rest of the my part in this video, inside location in a house, with the mum, dad and son featured in the video. The son gets badly beaten and bullied in school, so he got my special treatment of sfx-makeup and wounds as well. All in all, I could write so much about the creation of this video, there were so many characters and such a great big team involved... but instead I suggest you check the video out. Once again, a pleasure working with Raubtier and Populate...

About my work

I worked with Sister Sin as head makeup artist for this video to their song " Outrage". Now this was a crazy fun day. The video was shot in a studio in Stockholm, where they had rigged for the band to be hanging upside down from the ceiling. The director wanted this shot and performance from the band, since he wanted to create the effect of a "snake pit", where dancers and a "gollum- creature" climbs in the ceiling. Also the effect of being weightless was what he was after. My job when the band was hanging up side down was for these scenes to pin down everything that was "loose": clothes, hair, so that gravity would not drag these items to the floor. This was not too easy on the makeup or for the band, as the bandmembers were moving upside down, blood was rushing to their heads, and they kicked proper ass when they had to perform the song upside down half of the day. I was in charge of the makeup and brought with me Sara Söderberg to assist me with this, since there were quite a few dancers in this video too, so we had our hand full all day, but had such a blast!

About my work

Mats Udd, asked me to create a bird mask for this music video, a crazy fantasy looking bird mask, inspired by "The Knife" look. And so I did. The whole mask is created with real feathers from top roosters, every feather added with precision. This mask was used in this video, and later on it re-appears in another music video creation by Mats, namely Son of A Kid music video. With this bird mask, I kind of made my Bird mask trade mark. This is where it all began.

About

This music video, so much fun to work on this one. Well, I love music videos and being part of them. Milan Ovrlinic contacted me to work with him and Norma Bates on this music video, he needed SFX-makeup created on the band members. Milan wanted to create a fight, but with a twist. A fight where there are happy faces but the faces gets bruises and hits and blood is everywhere in the end of the video. Sure thing! I love sfx-makeup, love creating wounds and cuts and how fun isn't that to get to use a lot of fake blood creating smashed up faces with makeup. I just love my job and what you can create with makeup! I brought with my assistant Anna, who helped me with this job since Sfx makeup does take longer than ordinary makeup. We had a blast, the video was shot in Stockholm, in a school basement.

This day was mad, there was this mob of body builders dressed in black hoods running on set with axes, there was trashing of TVs, cars and chainsaws, barking killer dogs, prostitutes and hip hop lad running and later his head rolls. Well, what a day, had so much fun and it was great fun working with Raubtier and being able to take part of this video.
