ARTIST STATEMENT

My mediums of choice are acrylic paint, oil paint, India ink, charcoal, watercolor, and graphite. Since attaining my BFA at SFSU with a dual emphasis in Painting & Sculpture, I have continued producing and showcasing works in the Bay Area. My recent complete series follows the intimate daily life of circus performers, inspired by my years traveling with both local and international circus troupes including Cavalia, Cirque Du Soleil, as well as Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey. I have also written and illustrated a children's book and am currently working on a hand-painted animation film project.

Examples of all above mentioned projects are included in this portfolio.

Cinematography

Justine Lucas's filmmaking process
  1. Storyboards that illustrate the main frames; characters in frame, expression or action, camera movement, shot type (wide angle, medium shot, or close-up) and perspective (side-angle, straight-on, or follow-shot).
  2. Mood boards that express the unified look of each scene including location, costume, color scheme, lighting, and material textures.
  3. Film stills from actual film shoot, portraying final product and the actualization of initial mood boards.

NOTE: The following slides are for a new film called "City Girl", currently in post-production.
