Costume designs and Planning

Initial Sketches

Realistic looks at the different costumes



The use of suits and home made space helmets is the idea we decided to go with. The space suits we were thinking of using initially, turned out to be too thin and flimsy, and the Star Trek costumes were too expensive to buy so we took space suits literally. The helmet helps to add to the quirky, home made feel, and this whole concept could help to deliver a comedic element to the light hearted video we are planning on making!



 (The space helmets are pictured above, along with me lurking in the background....)

For our music video we are doing a comical and quirky narrative alongside a serious performance. We decided upon merging all of our different pitch ideas together, so that there would be a serious performance aspect and a quirky narrative which merged the idea of space helmet clad explorers, funky suited band members, the Star Trek cheese and humour. Because of our merged ideas, and the difficulties of telling people apart with white helmets on, we decided for all of the band members to suit up in different coloured suits. This would help to tell these people apart, tie in the funky suit idea and would also add a serious element to the performance, as the suits would be kept on.
