Behind the scenes

Here's a little sneak peak behind the scenes from yesterday's shoot.  We had a blast!  The locations were very urban...under freeways, old abandoned brick buildings....trash everywhere.  As for the wardrobe I chose darker colors and cool metallics, and focused on silhouettes with fun textures and movement.  Stay tuned for the pics.

Again many thanks to all involved!!

Sketches and details

So I'm working on all the costumes for Neighbors and I feel a bit like a frustrated artist.  I have all these ideas in my head and I'm am attempting to sketch them out.  And attempting is the operative word!!  Even though my drawings are more like chicken scratches...it totally helps to get my ideas on paper.  Plus I put notes and questions about the characters in the margins.  Here's a note:  Gillian take a figure drawing class!  Maybe one day I will post these initial drawings.  TBD.  


My friend Jennifer told me once that Robert De Niro said that actors would be wise to listen to the costume designer because no one has thought about the characters more.  The main character in Neighbors is Sam and he spends a lot of the movie in his bathrobe.  As the costume designer I'm thinking not just about the color of the robe and how it fits but other little details like...what is in the pockets of Sam's robe?  The audience might never see the contents but it helps give depth to the character and support the actor in his job.

Fun times my friends!!!  Stay tuned...we are in the middle of casting and I can't wait to share the amazing news!!
