Back in 2019 we were approached by Gareth Edwards and his Producer Jim Spencer to discuss Gareth’s new project, The Creator. An original sci-fi property doesn’t come around often, and we jumped at the opportunity to provide early blue sky visuals, and eventually design and manufacture of specialty props and costumes.
One of the major challenges of this project was the small crew that was going to be on location and the amount of travel, so to reduce the amount of costumes the crew would be carting around with them, we approached the military groups in a modular way.
We created a base system of uniform that could be shared across the 6 different military groups, but with varying colour schemes that could still set them apart enough from one another. Nearly everything had to be designed to be multi-purpose, or that could be modified with different components and switched around to create entirely new costumes.
Paint and graphics carried a lot of this load, along with a series of helmet and backpack shapes, and various configurations for dressing tech onto the base vests.
