Lunacy! UPDATE

19/10:

LUNACY IS NOW IN STOCK. Yes, it’s limited and Yes, it’s as awesome as I thought it would be.

Order yours here. 

Enjoy!

I’ve just ordered a bunch of the new edition “Lunacy” Field Notes and personally, I couldn’t be more excited. It’s scratching all my witchy itches.

They’ll be in stock with us in about 10 days, give or take. If you would like to pre-order a 3 pack – just email me on retail@meniscus.nz. Only serious stationery nerds need apply (don’t worry, I’m one of you).

Howl! xx Marie

From Field Notes:

This is the aptly-titled “Lunacy” Edition. There’s lots to love about this release. The embossed covers are made from Neenah’s Classic Crest “Epic Black Stipple” which features a gorgeous, almost leathery finish. For the first time ever, we’ve die-cut the covers, using individual dies for each of the three books. One reveals a full moon, one a half moon, and one acrescent.

The moon that’s visible through the die-cut is printed in 4-color on a glossy flyleaf which also includes facts and folklore about earth’s constant companion, as well as a lovely shot of the dark side of the moon in the back of the books. The Field Notes logo is embossed with a subtle hit of varnish, and the back cover features an embossed full moon. The books are bound with black staples (of course), and the 48 body pages feature a reticle pattern on light grey “Moondust” pages.

“Lunacy” is available now in 3-Packs featuring full, half, and crescent moons. Year-long subscribers receive an extra book in their packs. The fourth book has no die-cut, signifying a new moon.  “Lunacy” is a limited-edition, so when they’re gone. they’re gone.

Once we decided to go all-in on this moon topic we had to do something special for the film that accompanies it. Check that above if you haven’t already. As in many of our projects, we combined old-school techniques with cutting-edge equipment to produce dramatic results. Hopefully you’ll enjoy watching the film as much as we enjoyed making it, and you won’t have to clean up the huge mess we made.

Thanks a million for for supporting the lunacy that is Field Notes. It is possible we have completely lost our minds here at HQ, but if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes…

THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES

With the second season ordered and the first already aired in the States, Aotearoa now gets a look at The Shannara Chronicles. Filled with Elves and swords, it will be a hit with the Fantasy fans out there but really, the star of this MTV adaptation is this beautiful land we are privileged to call home.

Airing in NZ on The Zone, Sky. Wednesdays at 8.30pm.

Lovely work team!

PETES DRAGON

The new trailer for Disney’s Petes Dragon, the reimagined take of the 1977 animated film has just debuted.

Working on this film had a special air of intrigue for us, as we had no idea how Elliot (the Dragon) was going to look. Now that we’ve seen him, all we have to say is CUUUUUTE.

We created a bunch of different pieces for this film, working on Props, Art and Costume Department elements.
