Orry-Kelly won three Academy Awards® and was nominated for a fourth when he worked as the head of Warner Bros costume department during the richest period of American film history, and was a key influence on mass culture through his costume patents between1930-1960. Throughout his career Kelly worked on an astonishing 285 motion pictures and designed for legends like Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, Rosalind Russell, Errol Flynn, Natalie Wood, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and many more luminaries of the silver screen.

  • DRAWING COSTUMES, PORTRAYING CHARACTERS Costume Sketches and Costume Concept Art in the Filmmaking Process
    Laura Malinen 2017 DRAWING COSTUMES, PORTRAYING CHARACTERS Costume sketches and costume concept art in the filmmaking process MA thesis Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture Department of Film, Television and Scenography Master’s Degree Programme in Design for Theatre, Film and Television Major in Costume Design 30 credits Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors Sofia Pantouvaki and Satu Kyösola for the invaluable help I got for this thesis. I would also like to thank Nick Keller, Anna Vilppunen and Merja Väisänen, for sharing their professional expertise with me. Author Laura Malinen Title of thesis Drawing Costumes, Portraying Characters – Costume sketches and costume concept art in the filmmaking process Department Department of Film, Television and Scenography Degree programme Master’s Degree Programme in Design for Theatre, Film and Television. Major in Costume Design Year 2017 Number of pages 85 Language English Abstract This thesis investigates the various types of drawing used in the process of costume design for film, focusing on costume sketches and costume concept art. The research question for this thesis is ‘how and why are costume sketches and costume concept art used when designing costumes for film?’ The terms ‘costume concept art’ and ‘costume sketch’ have largely been used interchangeably. My hypothesis is that even though costume sketch and costume concept art have similarities in the ways of usage and meaning, they are, in fact, two separate, albeit interlinked and complementary terms as well as two separate types of professional expertise. The focus of this thesis is on large-scale film productions, since they provide the most valuable information regarding costume sketches and costume concept art.

  • Scene II. Creative Contexts All Hollywood Feature Films Are The
    Scene II. Creative Contexts All Hollywood feature films are the product of creative teamwork. Production designers define the ‘where’ – the place and setting of the story. Cinematographers create the visual mood and tone of the narrative. Directors tell the story, making the final decision about everything that appears on-screen. Together with the costume designer, this creative team makes a world – and the people in it – come alive. Scene Two of Hollywood Costume examines creative collaborations between costume designers, directors and actors. In this gallery, you will also see how costume designers work within specific contexts of production: cinematic genres, new technologies and censorship. The first gallery of the exhibition explored the perspective of the costume designer. This gallery is about the situations in which costume designers do their work. Collaborating with Directors The creative relationship between director and costume designer is an essential part of film-making. The four partnerships featured here are among the greatest collaborations in the history of Hollywood. Edith Head is the most famous costume designer of all time. Her career spanned the entire history of the Hollywood studio system, from her first film Wings in 1929 through 11 films designed for Alfred Hitchcock between 1946 and 1976. London-based Sandy Powell began her career working with Derek Jarman before going on to design costumes for such Hollywood directors as Martin Scorsese. Ann Roth has forged a creative partnership with director Mike Nichols over four decades, on both stage and screen. Colleen Atwood has been instrumental in realising Tim Burton’s artistic vision, creating costumes for Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood and Sweeney Todd.

    SHARE JOY Walkthe with Francis ANNUAL REPORT 2014-2015 “Charity is born of the call of a God who continues to knock on our door, the door of all people, to invite us to love, to compassion, to service of one another. — Pope Francis, St. Patrick’s Parish 2 Dear Friends, It is a pleasure to present to you this annual report for Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington which highlights the efforts of this ministry to walk with Pope Francis in faith and charity on our pilgrim journey. The stories found in this report remind all of us that through the love we share, the Gospel faith still has the power to transform people’s lives. When our Holy Father met with some of the clients, staff and volunteers of Catholic Charities during his visit to Washington this year, he stressed that “Jesus wanted to show solidarity with every person. He wanted everyone to experience his companionship, his help, his love.” Thanks to your compassionate support, through Catholic Charities, our sisters and brothers in need are able to encounter that consolation and love of Christ every day. As a visible sign of Christ’s presence in the world today, this faith-filled ministry meets a myriad of material and spiritual needs in its 65 programs, including: housing, job training, legal aid, immigration and refugee assistance, mental health treatment, medical and dental care, life-long care for those with developmental disabilities, and food assistance, such as Saint Maria’s Meals, which served the lunch that was blessed during Pope Francis’ visit.

Bernt Using a coding instrument designed specifically for this study, the researcher analyzed the gender of Academy Award nominees and winners in all categories in which potential for direct competition between women and men existed. This study examined if there was gender discrepancy in terms of whose work was recognized in the film industry by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Data from 83 Academy Awards ceremonies honoring the films released from 1927 to 2010 yielded 1,471 cases that, when analyzed, supported the statement that more men than women have been nominated for, and winners of, Academy Awards in every category other than Costume Design. Examining the results by year of nominations, wins, and categories showed trends in the numbers of women and men nominees and winners.

    The Second Annual David Desk Awards - Blog Stage - Acting in Film, TV, Theatre - Backstage 6/27/11 11:26 PM Blog Stage - Acting in Film, TV, Theatre - Backstage The Second Annual David Desk Awards Now that all the theatre awards has been handed out and the hoopla is over, it's time for the real honors to be distributed. Yes, I am referring the second annual Dvaid Desk Awards, based on all the shows I've seen over the past season. This is strictly for fun and is not meant as a commentary on the Tonys, Obies, Drama Desks, etc. This is just my opinion on outstanding work during the recently-ended 2011-12 New York theatre season. However, there are a few shows and performances I feel were unjustly ignored by the other prizes and I'd like to acknowledge them. Sarah Ruhl's "Passion Play" was a fascinating epic journey through four centuries and three countries, exploring how the story of Christ's death and resurrection affected those who act it. It had a brief run in Brooklyn last summer and was not noticed at award time. Among the outstanding performances overlooked were Jeanine Frumess as the homeless birth mother in "The Kid," T. Ryder Smith (pictured) who was a triple threat as Elizabeth I, Hitler, and Ronald Reagen in "Passion Play," and Terence Archie as the blustering wrestling icon in "The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Diety."
