Michele Clapton Instagram – More drawings from The Kings Man. This time with the help of Simon Thorpe my illustrator on this film. I worked here with Simon to develop a ‘look’ for the female extras in the ball scene. I needed to find a solution that the Director was happy with and that I felt still reflected the idea of a dress ball in Russia..At these times it’s really important for all concerned to really be able to visualise the finished look and often the studio will need to sign off on these but not on this film, it’s all Matthew V. For this my costume sketches whilst informative to the people that make the costumes are not so accessible outside of our department. Anyway I though it would be interesting to share here for those that are not in the film industry how things work. The first photo is where we arrived and it was approved, the last is where we started.. sorry back to front!
Thank you Simon you genius! See more of his work here @sim0ndo | Posted on 30/Dec/2021 00:03:42
