Before sharing this story there’s a couple important details to discuss.
Number one, I’m a costumer in the film industry. I dress the people who go on camera. There’s a process called fittings where I put the clothes on them, take photos to send to the various departments and then decisions are made so on the day we know exactly who wears what. These photos are almost like casting photos, I take a front view, a side view and a back view.
On this show in particular the director was VERY particular himself, so before sending him photos I would send it to many other departments first to make sure it all worked for everyone (hair, make up, props, ADs, casting, etc). It’s a list of about 60 people on that email chain. Once everyone didn’t have issues I would send the pictures to the director to pick his favorites.
The glamour of movie making.
The second thing to know is I’ve been fooling around with a coworker on this project for a few weeks now and a lot of it has been very fun (minus getting almost caught by two coworkers due to naughty fun and one trip to the emergency room).
