Establish a decent budget for both labor and purchase /rentals and hire the right stylist with assistants. It’s a department not a person. We rarely do that in commercials any longer.
That’s because Academy Award winning stylist Ruth E . Carter did the costuming . She’s arguably the greatest stylist on the Planet.
Simply amazing. Such craft and detail and beautiful.
Separately: I want to make a supercut of just Wesley Snipe’s scenes. He stole the show IMO.
Well they clearly didn’t spend anything on the script, so good to know the money went to good use somewhere!
Assuming you are referring to commercial production when you wish it could be as killer. I’m sure the wardrobe department in commercials wish they had the prep time movies do and the money too. Commercial prep for wardrobe, and every dept, Is extremely short due to lack of budget and client approvals, plus they don’t have that much money per person. So let’s not compare apples to oranges and be amazed that any commercial can be produced under the strict timelines and requests that are being posed.
I agree with you half way. I’ve worked with some pretty creatively lazy wardrobe stylists who take a healthy budget and buy everything at Target with no vision, not trying to do anything magnificent or surprising and then when I want something that looks “worn in” or not out of a Back to School catalog, they can’t wrap their head around being imaginative. It’s not always about money.
It was a cash in . Many people wanted a sequel and Amazon gave it to them. A good use for streaming platforms.
After 12 months viewing streaming content, I have a new found appreciation for the approval process the major studios follow before they green light a ‘traditional’ movie (& even then they still make enough howlers!) Production values for the majority of streaming flicks are woefully sub-par. Throwing a bunch of cash at A listers and cramming them into a poorly scripted effort may generate content, but then so does the dude on a skateboard singing Fleetwood Mac!
The wardrobe, alone, was worth the price of admission. On the rest: Eddie M. isn’t the same guy he was at 26 —he’s a serious actor, with the gravity that comes with age, and I hope he leans into the range that affords. You see that lion in winter in him and hope he lets it out.
