I hope you guys enjoy today's blog, thank you.

Costume creation

I am going to be creating Maverick's costume. Since me, Sam, and Santi decided that we would be directing the film and having our dads be the actors, I thought that I should start coming up with a costume for my dad who will play Maverick to wear.

The costume of Maverick is all about identification of himself and the adversity he faces throughout the film. The leather jacket and the jeans make him appear to be a rough, self-sufficient man who can take on anything that comes his way. We want Maverick to give off an adventuresque style because that's what you will see in the film. Right now I am thinking about having him wear a motorcycle jacket because when it is not zipped up it gives off that vibe plus the strap that will be hanging off the neck also helps reinforce what we are looking for in Maverick's character.

 

The coarse jacket shows that he is not afraid of danger and the jeans make him look practical and willing to move. We are going to have him wear blue jeans because they will look better with the jacket he will be wearing and they are more common then any other color jean. Maverick is going to appear to be prepared to act in an instant, instead of appearing as a person trapped in a laboratory. 

 

Another main look that Maverick has is that leather strap bag. He is constantly searching and experimenting with things. The bag is something that he cannot afford to leave behind because it has many of his values. It demonstrates that he is ready and willing to do anything, he carries notes and tools with him at all times. His costume does not make him look too good or too professional, but rather makes him look real and down-to-earth. The jacket, jeans, and bag all put Maverick in the image of a person who is always in a hurry, running against time and is determined.
