In the summer of 2010, I began prep on what would become a two-year-long production of SlickforceGirl. I wrote concepts and drew up storyboards for the vibrant and heroic characters, and then cast model and friend Vanessa Veasley in the role of the first SlickforceGirl.

Here, stunt coordinator and good friend Alex Wen—owner of KCW Studios—harnesses up Vanessa and teaches our leading lady to fly on wires.

And in the clip below, you’ll get your first glimpse into Vanessa’s otherworldly character, as we near the SlickforceGirl launch next week and prepare to release the first images. Enjoy!

Special thanks to Alex Wen, KCW Studios and Global Effects.
