Helena Bonham Carter is my muse today

Helena Bonham Carter in Harry Potter, The King's Speech, and Alice in Wonderland. Really interesting how a change in her posture turned her into a different person.

I'm trying something a little different. Inspired by Cate Blanchett's performance in Coffee and Cigarettes where she played herself and her fictional cousin. I was intrigued by how both characters were on screen at the same time and yet were completely different people despite being played by one actress. It made me think about what actors do to transform into the many different characters they play. By watching roles played by the same actor one clip after the other, the choices she made to create the different characters become more noticeable.
