    You know how I know he's a master costumer? He works that whole pastel sketch and doesn't get even the tiniest smudge on his white shirtcuffs. 🙏 RESPECT

      There are many ppl going online for school &/or work that have work nowadays. It's quite peculiar! 1 of my pals has to go online for school. However, I learn some of the things she does as I'm also fascinated by the arts & film category!!!!! I do so for the sake of learning while she intends to graduate 1 day. :)

    Love William Ivey Long! My 17 year old designed her schools musical, Cinderella this spring and the highlight was when she was nominated by her teacher to attend a gala in his honor. She also got to attend a tour of an exhibit of his work that he led. He was so kind to her and her assistant designer and talked with them about designing Cinderella for Broadway. It is a wonderful thing to see those who are at the top of their field taking time to share their love of the craft!

    This was well done and informative, particularly about W.I.L.'s process...but it does rather make it look like he sews the costumes himself. (What the heck was he doing repairing beads on an old "Girls in Pearls" chorus girl costume from THE PRODUCERS movie??) Still, it's a lovely overview of how different costume designers find inspiration, translate research, and work with actors.

    Hi I am a Costume Design student and I was wondering if anyone knew about portfolio for film costume design assistant job.
    1. What size should the portfolio be?
    2. How many pages?
    3. Horizontal or vertical?
    4. In what order should you organize your work?
    5. Leather? or zipped up portfolio? What kind?
    Thank you! I appreciate anyone that can help me out.

    • @nyla1411
      @nyla1411 5 років тому +3

      Jessica Ohare that’s the same thing I’m trying to figure out. But I don’t think a portfolio has a certain size as long as you give examples of what you created in the past.
      Let me know if you figured something out

  • @chuu_cat8482
    @chuu_cat8482 4 роки тому +4

    i mean I am glad that there even is something here about costume design but unfortunately it is only about the designers not the actual costume department and team behind a production. The whole point of communication, interaction und compromising is missing. It is kinda a dreamy Illusion that is portrayed here.

I mean this man is dressed and groomed impeccably to look the part of the gentleman and has the nerve to tell others they shouldn’t focus on how they look as designers. I mean give me a break. He’s a genius and has all kinds of great things to say, but that wasn’t really one of them.
