A Sci-Fi thriller set in a post-apocalytic era, costumes were both built and sourced from rentals in a 2-week prep time. The design concept incorporated wildly divergent populations of characters, from survivalist residents of earth to sleek and efficient neo-humanoids and fussy, rococo-esque subjects. Palette and textures defined these worlds for audience in this short film.
