Design a Music Video
Assignment for PROD 322 (Character Interpretation for Costume in Film and Television)
Assignment Brief: Design specialty costume(s) with contextual environments from your imagination for a music video by listening to the song the video is for. You must be able to articulate your own visual narrative which is NOT a literal interpretation of the lyrics, but an imagined landscape that supports the feeling of the song. Design completely conceptual specialty costumes and use technical drawing to make them real / perform-able.
I chose a song that made me think of classical armour in a post apocalyptic world.
