Magnopus’ Post

I recently came across an article on SCADworks that sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of film. Titled “Costume Designers Sew up Film Fest,” it recounts a panel featuring accomplished costume designers, offering insights into their on-set experiences. As I delved into the article, I found it fascinating to revisit the panels from this year's Film Festival. I highly recommend checking out this blog post for a unique perspective on the film industry! #FilmInsights #SCADworks #CostumeDesign #SavannahFilmFestival

Have you been thinking of getting a Costume Designer on board of your project? Or would you like to learn more about sci-fi costume design? Charlotte Simons wrote this blogpost on the topic :) https://lnkd.in/eZbSWQnP #blauwfilms #shortfilm #costumedesign #characterdesign #filmmaking #moviemaking

The choice of specific #colors in character costumes and makeup, as well as in set designs, can define not only personalities and emotional states but also the mood of the story. In essence, applying #colorharmony to #cinema is a powerful tool: it tells a story without the need to really use words.

The Day After the Oscars: Where is Graphic Design in Cinema? 🏆 With the hangover from the day after the Oscar ceremony, it's worth considering what kind of films have won. Among my favorites is Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things, which won 4 statuettes: Best Actress, Best Makeup, Best Costume Design, and Best Production Design. Three of these are clearly a success of design and visuals. One category is missing: graphic design, where the work of Vasilis Marmatakis in poster and credits design, as well as that of the graphic design team for props, is of the same quality as the previous categories. You can read more about graphic design and cinema in my last article written for ADG FAD and FAD #oscars2024 #oscar #winners #awards #festival #cinema #movie #design #graphicdesign #visualdesign #credits #propdesign #film #movies #films

How This Costume Designer Updated Jedi Robes for 'The Acolyte' https://ift.tt/uT5Vh7t We're always excited to see a new Star Wars project—especially when Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae are involved. How could you not be amped for The Acolyte? And when we get to speak with part of the creative team, like costume wizard Jennifer Bryan, we're even more excited! As we learned speaking with her via Zoom, she comes from the world of contemporary TV with credits like Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad under her belt, and this was an exciting opportunity for her to flex different muscles. We were able to ask about some of the new looks for the Jedi Knights, how she builds world and character through costume, what it's like pitching to Kathleen Kennedy, and more. Let Bryan take you to hyperspace with her interstellar advice! The Acolyte | Official Trailer | Disney+ www.youtube.com Editor's note: The following conversation has been edited for length and clarity. NFS: I am a big Star Wars fan. I don't know if you were when you got this project. Bryan: I was just in the general population of having seen some Star Wars movies. I wasn't a super nerd, but of course I am now. NFS: That's going to be my first question then. This being an established universe, how do you approach the work of designing costumes? Bryan: It's a first for me in terms of doing a project that is worldbuilding from scratch. I was very, very excited. I come from contemporary television. Somebody asked me that, about making that jump from contemporary to fantasy sci-fi, and I told them—costume designers, her toolbox has to be very wide, because you never know what you're going to be presented with as a work challenge. Especially if you've been trained, formally like I have, you need to be able to catch whatever comes at you. I'd always wanted to do worldbuilding sci-fi, deep imagination, and things that you really have to come out from the well of your creativity. And this show provided that for me. NFS: One thing that I noticed immediately was your spin on the Jedi robes. I'd love to hear you talk about how you arrived there and what your process was. Bryan: I started my prep in the States and then eventually went over in June, and I had my first big presentation to Kathleen Kennedy. And when I was doing my research, I thought, "Wow, the colors of the Jedi!" I'm a colorist, that's one of the tools that I rely on heavily when I'm designing regards to what the period is. If I can bring color into it that's appropriate, I'll do that. So I started doing my presentations, and I know the Jedi are already in the iconography of Star Wars, but because the timeline was before, a hundred years, I had a hundred-plus years out. Almost prequel-like. I knew I had some leeway. I took a stab. I thought, "I think the Jedi uniforms and color palette could be a little different, not too far off, but a little different from what we've known." So what I proposed, and Kathleen Kenn...

🎬 Crafting Cinematic Ambiance: EXIN's Movie Theater Lighting Design In the realm of #cinema , where every frame is a canvas and every scene a carefully choreographed dance of visuals, the role of lighting design is paramount. It transcends beyond mere functionality, becoming the invisible hand that shapes the audience's experience. #lightingdesign in movie theaters is an art form that dictates the emotional landscape of each scene. The gentle glow during pre-show moments creates anticipation, while the #dimming lights signal the onset of cinematic immersion. Subtle steps, strategic accent lights, and ambient illumination become silent storytellers, guiding the audience through the highs and lows of the narrative. It's not just about visibility; it's about crafting an atmosphere that elevates the movie-watching experience into a visual symphony. In the world of cinema, lighting design isn't just a technicality; it's the enchanting spell that transforms stories into unforgettable journeys.
