Costume design

Bigger Than I Really Am It was a normal summer afternoon when my mom called me into her bedroom. I had no ideas what to do for my 15th birthday on July 16th. I figured I would just see a movie, just like everyone normally does. I recently picked up an interest in Marvel movies and characters and my mom had actually taken notice. “Why don’t you go to this Wizard World thing? That Stan Lee guy you talk about is going to be there, and some Walking Dead characters.” Stan Lee is one of the original…

characters with costumes that were crisp and sparkling that joined the characters’ social statuses and the anniversary they were supposed to celebrate. Lowry stated that with the costumes, he tried “reinforcing characters and playing with relationships.” The costumes represented each character and relationship well, but lacked success in conjunction with the set and period. Simon’s play is set in the 1980s at a deputy-mayor’s house in New York with upper class socialites. The costumes were…

story that was unfolding. Later, as characterizations became more complex, costuming became more elaborate (Nusim, 1999). Costume design techniques and styles may have evolved through the centuries, but the principles of costume design have remained very much the same. Costume design plays a critical role in almost every film & television production to this very day. Costume designers endeavor to enhance a characters persona for the audience or viewer, in order to help establish the time period…

Our group’s version of the glass menagerie is set in the 1940s, the time it was originally created to be set in. However, our director, Allison, offered up the idea of taking a more liberal approach to the costume designs. She also wanted to put a modern spin on all aspects of the show (costuming included). In order to dress Amanda in a way that would fit this vision, I made her clothes classy, elegant, and a tad revealing, albeit cheaply made. All of her outfits are the less expensive…

He was the top scientist at the Oscorp laboratory. He was designing a hover pad, and a chemical that is supposed to make a human stronger and better without any side affects. The government did not approve because of his one test failure of the many he had on animals. He was going to lose his job unless he proved that it worked on humans without side affects. He tested it on himself and became The Green Goblin. He killed his fellow scientist and the government people who would accept his ideas.…

2:30 am when a task force that specialized in missing people arrived on the scene. The night was cool and a feeling of emptiness flowed through the air as the members of the task force found nothing but, a pool of blood, parts of Zander’s zombie costume, and long skid marks from where another vehicle sped off. Just as the parents thought the situation couldn’t get any worse, the father receives a mysterious phone call from an unknown number. “Hello? Who is this?” The boys’ father…

The picture I placed to the right is an example of one of the costumes that was on display in the store. There were nearby signs all around the store that served as a reminder that Halloween is approaching and majority of the signs had children on it themselves, for example, the costume in the picture on the right has a child who is wearing a Star Wars costume. The costumes in the store were geared towards children and marketers knew that the signs would grab attention…

Masks have always been a important feature or the Venice Carnival. The very first documented sources regarding the masks goes all way back to the 13th century.Near the end of the Republic, the wearing of masks in daily life was severely restricted. By the 18th century, it was limited only to about three months from December 26. The masks were traditionally worn with decorative beads matching in colour. Early Venetian masks were very simple, and after Venice Carnival was abolished for nearly two…

Lighting designer, Kevin Adams, and Scenic designer, David Korins, executed the structure of this musical in a simplistic yet creative way. My favorite element of the set design was the grand wall of distinctive lights located at the back of the stage. These lights could change color and effulgence to various levels depending on the time and place of the current scene. For example, during Stew’s time in Amsterdam, the lights…

Wearing a venetian carnival mask is a tradition for Italy. They would also wear it for other things and parties as well. They wore it to high their identities and their status. So people dont know who they are or even what they look llike. This had been a tradition for 7 years. 13th centuries would throw parties and they would have to wear these masks.
