A weekend series of costume seminars:
These short concise capsules will explain & discuss some of the many skills the Costume community expressed an interest in.
There is a great mix of creative & technical topics from which to choose.
An Evening With Monique Prudhomme
|
The illustrious (and fellow Canadian!) Costume Designer, Monique
Prudhomme, will be our guest speaker. Monique has recently won the Costume Designer’s Guild Award for Excellence in Fantasy Film for “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”, and was also nominated for an Academy Award for this project. We are looking forward to hearing about her career, her process and personal stories.
|
Made to Measure / Measuring the Body
|
Get the technician’s perspective on building custom-made clothing. Learn which measurements are key to a well-fitting garment and how to correctly take those measurements. Antonio Petosa of Aquarius Menswear will show you why his custom suits and shirts are so impeccably tailored. Loreen Lightfoot, cutter on projects such as Amelia and Grey Gardens, will address the various factors that result in a perfect womenswear garment.
|
The Art of Networking
|
Networking is a business skill designed to create, maintain and utilize interpersonal connections. Mastering the art of effective networking takes time, dedication and attention. This seminar will focus on improving your understanding of the networking process as it applies to job search, identifying and overcoming barriers. Carol Simpson, a Certified Executive Coach and lecturer, facilitates a variety of leadership workshops and will be taking us through this course.
|
Quick Ageing / Greeking
|
The topics of ageing and greeking covered in this seminar are just two of the many processes involved in prepping clothing for the camera. Learn techniques for quick ageing and a variety of ways in which logos can be hidden or obscured. This class will be taught by Karen Eppstadt, Breakdown and Dyeing Specialist.
|
Working With SPFX
|
Working alongside your Special Effects Coordinator can be a fun challenge for the Costume Department. There are usually specific requirements regarding fabrics and finishings in order for FX to carry out their task efficiently, whether the script calls for someone to be shot, be engulfed in flames or get thrown into the air. Get an understanding of it all from the perspective of John Laforet, FX Coordinator for Performance Solutions.
|
Negotiating Skills
|
Being an effective negotiator is an essential part of your career skill set. How do you go about assessing your needs and then successfully communicate those needs to someone else? Rosemary Della Serra, Della Serra Agency, represents a roster of award-winning costume designers, wardrobe stylists & other creative talent and she will be giving tips on how you can be your own best representative.
|
Horror Techniques
|
Learn about the different types of blood, application methods, copying established blood spatter for multiples, maintaining continuity on blood throughout a show, removing blood, generating re-sets, dried blood, day vs. night blood colours and establishing level of blood. All of these techniques will be covered by Costume Designer Alex Kavanagh (Land of the Dead, Saw II-VII, Ginger Snaps II-III).
|
Dealing With Nudity
|
When nudity is called for in a script, it can be a very sensitive issue for both the talent and Costume Department. Find out the various ways in which our Department can help maintain an actor’s “modesty” during such scenes. Luis Sequeira, Costume Designer (Flash of Genius, Being Erica, The Thing), will discuss tips of the trade on the prep side. Christina Cattle, Set Super- visor (Devil, The Incredible Hulk) will talk about nudity on the set.
|
Quick Sketch
|
Being able to communicate ideas is of utmost importance in this business. Even though your sketching ability may not be at an “illustrator” level, there are formulaic ways to approach figure drawing and garment rendering so that you can convey your concepts to directors, producers and pattern cutters. Please bring a sketchbook and pencil to this workshop conducted by Silvana Sacco whose specialties include character conceptualization, fine arts illustration and technical draughtsmanship.

CAFTCAD mourns the loss of Derek Van Lint, Icon and Mentor to countless Cinematographers and Filmakers around the world.
His passionate career in Cinematography began with his groundbreaking style of shooting on Ridley Scott's "ALIEN" and continued in his monumental body of work in films and commercials. We were honoured to have him as guest speaker for "The Art of Cinematography" at our 2009 Caftcademy Seminars.
He was a true "Master of Light and Motion"and will be missed dearly by all of us who had the pleasure of sharing his remarkable life.

 The Gaudet show which opened this year's Canadian Fashion Week was stunning on every level. The clothing was sexy, beautifully made, and the styling was creative and modern.The feature piece of this show was the felted wool coat. It came blazing down the runway in fire-engine red, chalky brown with hint's of pink, and moss green to name a few. Included in the swag bag for the show, were two fabric samples of this wool which upon close inspection was multi-layered incorporating many colours to give the impression of depth.
While Gaudet's signature pieces were coats and they were paired with printed silk hot pants, shiny black leggings, and floating organza dresses in sage and candy floss pink. The models wore towering teased chignons, shimmering gold make-up and sleek black and gold platform shoes to complete the ‘Gaudet’ look. This talented pair of designers, Norman and Gio Gaudet, really raised the bar high for designers this week.

One day while pursuing her collection of single buttons, CAFTCAD Member Joanna Syrokomla wondered what to do with all those sparkling beauties. Of what use could they be? She grouped them together by colour and felt they spoke such a history of garment design and a nostalgia left from the fastening of cocktail dresses, brocade coats, military jackets, and other finery. Buttons in a jar were such a beautiful stripe needing to be dusted off and seen. She started sewing them into layers onto bracelets and found quite an audience with many coming back again and again for the latest JO.SY Collection vintage button cuff.
Available usually only by request or at the Bi-Annual CAFTCAD Movie Wardrobe Sales, these button cuffs and now chunky bib button necklaces will be for sale by Member Ian Drummond at the Toronto Vintage Clothing and Textile Show. The Ian Drummond Collection will be selling many incredible vintage and designer garments and accessories from the 1940’s through 1990’s.
Saturday March 6th, 2010, 10 am- 5 pm at the
Conference Ballroom, CNIB Centre
1929 Bayview Avenue, Toronto
Admission $8. Partial proceeds donated to charity.
Vintage Button Cuffs and Necklaces also available by request from
