WELCOME

Welcome everyone to the blog that gives you the information that you will need from the Costume Dept to be "picture ready."

As you scroll past this post you will find information for the Deputy Sheriffs that work 9/21 and then as you scroll past that post you will find information on those that will be working during the party scene, beginning Wed, 9/22.

Please make sure that you read and follow all instructions and guidelines. It will only help you get in the shot, cuz you look so good!

Remember the practical things as well. If the shoes that you want to wear on camera are uncomfortable, then make sure to bring something comfortable to wear while no on camera. Always include jacket options as part of you "on camera" look. It may be hot now, but we will be shooting some nights and we may need these layers to look good and stay warm.

We look forward to meeting and working with each and every one of you.

See you on the set!

ELI'S CABIN SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES

Hey guys.... so for all the BG coming to play the Sheriff Deputies at Eli's cabin on 9/21/10 should bring the following:
White crew neck tee shirt
black socks
black army-type ankle boots or solid black sneakers
black leather belt

If you wear very flashy jewelry, watches, earrings etc, you may as well leave them at home because you not be wearing them on camera. Any personal possesions will be your responsibility to keep up with, so if you don't want to lose what you aren't wearing on camera, just leave it at home.

We look forward to meeting you guys and we'll see you on the set!

ELI'S CABIN THE PARTY

Hey guys...so now it's time to talk about the party. You will see a color pallette above labeled FALL. These are the guide colors for what you are picking out to bring with you. A little to the left or right is certainly fine, but these kinds of burnt or autumn colors are what we want to see.

As for style...the look for the film is a hipster, retro, western vibe. Vintage western shirts, denim and suede vests over graphic tees, retro leather jackets and coats and some vintage jewelry thrown in for good measure. And just for fun let's throw in some camo to keep our carnivouous hunters happy. Channel Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Emmy Lou Harris, circa 1974, and you've got the idea. It's all a little gritty and a little raw, but a whole lot of a good look.

Everyone should bring several options of the following items:

Men

"Redneck" jeans (The basics: Levi's, Lee, Wrangler etc. Nothing too "hip" or "street" looking)

Dickies/workpants/camo pants

Cool vintage polyester pants

Vintage western shirts/western button front shirts

Henleys/thermal pullovers/long sleeve tees/short sleeve tees

Suede, denim and leather vests

Suede, denim and leather jackets and coats

Cowboy hats and boots (vintage or current)

Don't forget your great distressed leather belts and big-as-a-plate belt buckles and

your rocking jewelry and accessories

Women

Sexy dresses, tops and tanks (but sexy in a less obvious way, we are in the woods, not 2nd Ave)

Jeans/skirts

shoes and boots

suede, denim and leather jackets, coats and vests

Vintage western shirts/western blouses

Cowboy hats and boots (vintage or current)

Don't leave home without all the vintage and retro jewelry that I know you've got, and bring us a belt with a big 'ole buckle on it

We look forward to meeting all of you. Remember the color pallette and stick to it. Please bring as many of the items that we are requesting as you can. We only want to make you look good so that you can potentially be front and center, and not hidden behind a tree somewhere. See you on the set!
