Micron Ballistix Photoshoot

Client: Micron

Agency: Mark Andersen

Role: Costume Designer & Props Master

This shoot was all about bringing video-gaming tropes come to life. There were four characters featured: a race car driver, a warrior, a mage, and a mercenary. I was wholly in charge of the mysterious mage and the bloodthirsty warrior. For the mage, we wanted to convey her power over the dark arts, so we dressed her from head to toe in sleek, highly textured black fabrics, including a corset and a custom leather hood.

A professional body builder was cast as the warrior, so I built his design around showcasing his musculature. We pared down his wardrobe to only include a pauldron covered in furs and a dead raccoon, riveted leather arm guards, a layered leather kilt, and a helmet. At first, the helmet wasn’t quite fierce enough, so I added curled, broken horns to it, giving him a tougher silhouette. I designed a hammer of epic proportions, and after picking it up from my blacksmith, I was glad the actor cast was definitely strong enough to wield it!
