MEET DANA SCHNEIDER, ‘HUNGER GAMES’ MOVIE MOCKINGJAY PIN DESIGNER

Schneider was hired to craft the iconic Mockingjay pin for the sci-fi film “The Hunger Games,” due next March. Not Schneider’s original design, the pin replicates the illustration on the cover of the “Hunger Games” novel, the first of a trilogy.

“I was thrilled to be asked to make it. It’s integral to all three books,” she says. “It was actually very difficult to make. I’m quite proud of how it came out.”

Schneider’s other creations appear in two of Hollywood’s big-budget summer extravaganzas — “The Green Lantern,” which opened last Friday, and “Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon,” opening Wednesday. And she has made jewelry for two of the most anticipated films on the horizon, “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” and “The Hunger Games.”

Her past movie credits include “Green Hornet,” “Tron Legacy,” “X-Men 3,” “Fantastic Four,” “Wolverine,” “Planet of the Apes,” “Terminator III,” “The Fast and the Furious,” “Hannibal,” “From Hell” and “Elektra,” more than 40 features in all.

She’s also made custom jewelry for Cher and fellow Canton native Marilyn Manson. But more on them later.

fuckyeahthe-hunger-games: maytheodds: thehungergamesmovie: NO official confirmation or denial from Lionsgate, but here’s the word: Madge Undersee, the mayor’s daughter and Katniss Everdeen‘s friend, does not appear in the 137 page draft of the script we have. Madge is most notably remembered for being one of Katniss’s only friends other than Gale. In the beginning of the book Gale is rude to her on the day of the reaping because she is very dressed up with her expensive mockingjay pin, and it reminds him she’s never had to enter her name for tesserae (food in exchange for more name entries into the yearly reaping). Madge is one of Katniss’s visitors after she volunteers in place of Prim at the reaping, and she insists Katniss wear the mockingjay pin as her District 12 token. In the film, we first see the pin when Katniss pulls it out and gives it to Prim as they are getting dressed for the reaping. Prim gives it back to Katniss right before she leaves. Katniss then leaves Rue’s body with it after she covers her with flowers. At the end of the script she is gifted with an entirely new mockingjay pin as a present from her own district (12). the first bit sounds okay I suppose. I don’t like how she’s supposedly giving it to Rue later though. “o here u go rue u r da mockingjay!” I can deal with those changes… but I don’t want her to give it to Rue… but I can def deal with it. I don’t see Madge as that necessary anyway. ……..I liked Madge.
