I am given Stephen Tennant in this project.

 He is a British aristocrat known his decadent lifestyle. It is said that he spent most of his life in bed. He was born in England in 1906 as the youngest son of Lord Glenconner. During the 20s and 30s, he was am important member of the "Bright Young Things". Most of the "Bright Young Things"people  never did a real day's work in their lives. Some were ridiculously rich to bother. Those privileged group whose only object in life was to have fun, but so it proves. Life was one long patry and the fancy dressing, the making up, the cocktails and practical jokes should have been frightfully amusing.

As I started the research about him, I got a book about his life, "Serious Pleasures" by Philip Hoare. I also found a film, "Bright Young Things" by Stephen Fry (2003) . They gave me a lot of hints about Stephen. I did not understand about him at first, but gradually I found it interesting to know about him. 

In this film, I wanted to make it as a theatre show. I picked up some significant moments and made some stories based on them. The film consists these stories. I just chose the song "Sing Sing Sing" (originally by Luise Prima, but I used Benny Goodman's version) because it was used in the "Bright Young Things" film. I had listened to this song before, and I like it because it is  really dramatic. Basically I scanned drawings on my sketchbook and put them into Photoshop.

Then I edited them by Final Cut Express. I used some Stephen's photographs from the book.
