Hi! It's me, Nikki!
When I grow up, I think I want to be a costume designer!
A costumer designer is the person who comes up with
all the cool costumes that you see on stage,
on TV,
and in the movies!
I would love to design costumes for sci-fi movies!
Like Guardians of the Galaxy
and Star Wars!
And cut! Nikki, great job!
But I think we can lose the uniform on Chewbacca!
Oh! The script says "Pilot"!
Yes, but not an airplane pilot,
a spaceship pilot!
Costume Designers work closely with directors
and writers on movies!
They need to have a thorough understanding of the story,
the characters,
and the location so the costumes make sense!
Before you come up with costume ideas,
You have to research the time period
and place.
Like if a show was set during the Medieval Times
the costume designer needs to learn about all the armor the knights wore.
Like linen garments,
then chain mail
(that's a fancy name for the tiny fancy loops linked together),
followed by a metal chest plate,
armor for legs and arms,
and finally, a visor and helmet.
Whoooaaa, talk about heavy metal!
After you've done your research,
you get to sketch out all of your ideas on paper!
Alright, we're working on Inside Out/My Little Pony: The Mashup Movie!
Nikki, what do ya got?
Hm... Let's give Anger a Rainbow Dash mohawk and tail,
and Rainbow Dash can wear his shirt and tie.
Perfect! Magnificent!!
This'll be the greatest movie ever!
To be a costume designer,
You need to love fashion,
love doing research,
and have a great imagination.
Well, I've got that covered.
I love making costumes for my MLP dolls,
I know a ton of facts,
(Uh, yeah, check out my Nikki's Wikis here!)
and, one of my favorite hobbies is doodling cool costumes!
A job as a costume designer would be SO awesome!
You get to design outfits and see them on the little screen
or the big screen!!
You could even win an Oscar!
ANNOUNCER: And the Oscar for best Costume Designer goes to...
Nikki!
For all her work in The Greatest Mash-Up Movie Part 3!
Thank you!! I'd like to thank The Academy
and shoutout to Cool School!
Wow, that would make me so proud!
