Artwork SPN Cinema Challenge 2015!

For this year's edition of spn_cinema I picked the first film I ever saw in the cinema: Grease! An ode to the fifties yet definitely a timeless musical. Back in 1978 I had no idea how dirty the lyrics were, I just phonetically sang along;) It's still one of my favorite films. To keep with the tradition of actors who were too old to play highschoolstudents, I ignored the actual age difference between Jeff & Jensen and I also included a Chevy Impala, which hadn't even been born in this era. It's an Alternate Universe after all. :-p



Title: You're The One That I Want
Medium: Photoshop, marker and papercuttings
Film: Grease (1978)
Pairing: Jensen/JDM
Rating: G(!)
Concept: Highschool AU. Bad boy Jeff falls in love with young, clean cut Jensen; they struggle with their romance amongst social expectations and high school politics.
Note: Made for 2015 edition of spn_cinema and dedicated to tmn1966: happy birthday, T.! The Ohio numberplate of the Impala is especially for you;)

In the art-section below you'll find manips, collages and more papercutting. I was inspired to put young Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the role of John Travolta (Danny) after seeing screenshots of Jeff in his first film Uncaged; he was such a bad boy in that. For his love interest I of course had to cast Jensen Ackles, because I adore the two of them together. :-p
My imagination went wilder than I was able to capture in art, but I did hint at my ideas (Jeff and his friends Danneel and Hillarie call themselves the J-birds; Jensen is an athlete and hangs with the Padalecki Posse...see if you can spot Jared and Chad in supporting parts)

( ACTION! )

I love comments, no matter how short or long, feel free to point out mistakes or ask for clarification:)
