You Can Spend Forever Just Analyzing The Costumes - Tumblr Posts
DRESSING THE PART We have a fantastic costume designer, Kelli Dunsmore. I always say that she literally wove the story into the fabric of the clothes, because there are things that she foreshadowed in the clothing that happened episodes later. Or, if characters start to get in some sort of relationship with each other, that will be reflected in the clothes that they wear or the colors that they have. Or, if they’re feeling any type of emotion, the same way we dress differently, the characters are dressed differently, which I thought was really cool. Crystal wears these massive platform boots that must be about four or five inches. They’re huge, very heavy, but it’s funny because they change the way that you walk. So, I felt like Crystal had a walk that was very different to me, out of necessity to walk in these boots. But it’s effective in feeling like a different person, or having a more of a felt sense for Crystal because it’s quite weighted. She’s not very light, which makes sense with the things that she’s going through and the experiences that she’s having. Practically, it helped, because Jayden and George are like six-foot-something. So, if I film a scene and I’m at the bottom of the lens and they’re up there, that helped. I’ve got a good couple inches on my feet.
