I spent a about an hour this weekend rummaging through my hard drive to find all the props I did for The Mitchell’s vs The Machine… and I Found a Lot! Here is the first batch. Most of these are from an early camp site set that I designed which got fully built out in 3d as our first test environment but never made it into the film due to story changes. This was like, within my first 2 or 3 months on the movie. The last image is the fully 3 version of the cut campsite set. More props to come

Realized I hadn’t posted any of the visual Development work I did for the Mitchells vs the Machines here on Tumblr. so here is the first batch! I primarily worked on environments and effects design as well as some color keys and story moment paintings. Had a blast working on this movie. It was my first film I got to work on. Truly a special project. The Blu-ray just dropped for any of you who are interested!! Hope you enjoy these, Ill post more in a few days or so.

Watching Encanto for the second time in as many days and I’m loving looking at Mirabel’s clothes! It’s all crewel work!

Crewel work is embroidery done with wool yarn instead of floss! It’s raised and often more textured than thread based stuff. Here’s an example off the wikipedia page:

Meanwhile there’s some really nice whitework embroidery on the smocked base of Luisa’s blouse, which i find suits her more subtle elegance, as opposed to Mirabel’s exuberant colours (screaming “notice me” in a family valued for their magical gifts as the only one without”) or Isabela’s very monocoloured and frothy swiss dot and applique lace gown (restrained to what she thinks others desire of her instead of her own interests)

Here’s some whitework embroidery that’s as geometric as Luisa’s (forgive the watermark):

And here’s some 3d applique lace that calls to mind Isabela’s dress:

Ans this is swiss dot! It’s what her cap sleeves are made of!

Meanwhile her new dress seems to be less textured, elegant lace than it is a smooth and high colour thing, because she can finally express herself!

And that’s just with the three sisters! There’s also Abuela’s butterfly chatelaine as the matron of the house, and the fact that Mirabel and Bruno both share the colour green in their glasses and poncho respectively, and that they have the same little curl in the same place on their forehead!

Cruella de Vil costume designs by Marc Davis

“His costume is meant to be the old ceremonial outfit that he used to wear when he was having visions of the future for the people that came to see him. He has had it for a long time, and it is now an old, sad version of what it once was.”
