I was advised by fellow costumers to use diluted acrylic paint for stain weathering fabric pieces, but in my inexperience I was worried about overdoing it or not achieving the right look and it would be locked in. So I worked dry instead of wet and used some super cheap drugstore eyeshadow, a spare makeup brush, and a rag for buffing. Honestly, I thought it wasn't that far off from my best friend using Tamiya Weathering powder pigments for his custom lightsaber work. I scraped out and crushed up bits from several different eyeshadows to mix custom colors (more yellow-toned for areas like armpit sweat stains, collars, cuffs, anywhere that would repeatedly rub against the body, more mucky gray/green/brown for broader random areas of grime). The effect is really good when you want to start light and keep things subtle - and if you do mess up, just throw it in the wash and try again.
4:45 These tall bottles are my absolute favorite medium for weathering costumes, Jacquard Dye-Na-Flow. Work wet, can add their setter or you can heat set. Allows for your costumes to be washed. They also have a great line of textile paints.
It's still always surprising that the more "simple" the effect, the more work seems to be required. If it's beat to hell, you just sand it and beat it up. But gently worn clothes requires rolling in the wrinkles by hand.
It's a reflection of true wear and tear. A chasm can form from an earthquake, but it takes years and years of erosion to carve a smooth canyon. An article of clothing can be roughed up or disheveled with ease, but that fresh, localized damage will never look the same as the gradual degradation of an entire material. It takes time and effort to replicate the effects of time
Most Artists, lMHO, research, trial, trial, create as second nature, often times 'problem solving' in periods of downtime or dream sleeping. Fun & interesting video regardless !
Would you do a one day build to show us how to make gold bars. Like from the Italian job remake. Would love to see your ideas how to make them shinny just like the movies! Love the show ❤
I've had good luck making anything relatively smooth look like gold using spray paint. There's two kinds of metallic paint: the kind that has metallic flecks in it like car paint, and the kind that looks like plating. The lid of the can will be a sample, so get the kind that looks like polished gold or brass instead of the kind that looks like a car or eyeshadow. Use a good smooth primer: grey sandable if needed, and a red oxide. (For some reason, gold looks really good over a red primer. I believe it's traditional under gold leaf, too.) I had a stack of spray painted laser-cut cardboard gears on my bench at TechShop, and a machinist touring the shop asked where I got corrugated brass. I let a batch of painted MDF gears dry outside in the sun, and a scavenger stole them to sell for scrap because he thought they were brass.
I recall watching a behind the scenes for Terminator 2, the leather jackets for Arnie to wear were weathered with a drill and a grinding tool for each level of the journey
As a painter, those brushes just look normal to me. 🤔🤷🏼♀️😄Even if you have to downgrade them, old stubby messed up brushes still have many, many uses!😂
Very strong instant coffee, acrylic paint, alcohol based leather dye and black and brown shoe polish are my go to ways to weather down fabric. I am not fond of using chemicals for pieces which are in direct contact with skin.
She was awesome. Also, I think she had to be very very carefull what not to say or show about this 2nd season props. 1 slip with 1 word might have been revealing some upcoming twists and turns.
@@durangodave it is still one of the quickest and most visible methods of weathering, there are a lot more time consuming yet subtle ways to weather items
As a brit myself, it has become a thing that crept into our language. I catch myself doing it once in a blue moon even though I try my hardest not to 😂.
She's somebody who isn't a presenter who has given up her time to share her knowledge. She's clearly nervous. Have a bit of respect and show some gratitude for her doing this. I bet you'd be hopeless on camera if somebody came into your workplace.

Weathering props videos are the best. They all looks so happy
I love the frame with lights above the work tables. I guess I know what to do over the weekend at my workshop.
Breakdown are the unsung heroes of the costume in film and TV! They are like sorcerers! #BigUpTheDyeWitches
I was just about to send you this dude!
@b62boom1 hahahaha cheers anyway!

This silo series is awesome

I’m obsessed with sets/props/costuming, this is the perfect video
Funny how making things look old never gets old.
Looks like Red Wing Irish Setter and Iron Rangers, cool.
Ahhhh… this is incredible. Imma have to incorporate into my next Fallout cosplay.

For Michal Jackson's Thriller video, his zombie outfit was weathered with a weedwhacker.

And all British. Film makers turned to one of the best in the business 🇬🇧
ok, I am British but films and series really are trans Atlantic and pacific, pooling the best talent from around the world.
It seems that you are a very versatile person in all areas.
Hope to see Halo S2 suits from FBFX, one day love your content of checking out the costume and prop deptartments
This was better than watching paint dry. 😝
INSIGHTFULLY, COOL AS !
👍❤️😎
Awesomeness ❤❤❤❤
Putting shoes in a dryer on the tumble cycle (no heat) seems like a fast way to get a light weathering
I luv this vid. Its so interessting and also i get it with my rly bad english
I do that when I get new boots 😂
Was this shot in the UK?
Yes. The primary production and filming site for the Silo series is Hoddesdon Studios in Hertfordshire - about 20 miles from central London.
Cool ❤
Good
Fun
She needs prompting probably because she's nervous with Adam there.
Not everyone babbles constantly like Americans do…quite refreshing hearing her
She was awesome. Also, I think she had to be very very carefull what not to say or show about this 2nd season props. 1 slip with 1 word might have been revealing some upcoming twists and turns.
@pauli6570 Yeah...the Englush, Irish, Scots, and Aussies never babble on after a few pints. NOPE. And it's never loud. Not at all.
@@montystarShe may have also been reluctant to give away any proprietary methods unique to the studio.
It was a very low-energy interview, for sure.
🥰
:)
shoe abuse..shoes matter
"how costumes and props are weathered for filming"
is that just this channel for the last 7-8 years?
She was no help on HOW she weathered stuff. Yeah um
is sanding seams really necessary? Noone is going to notice and this is another reason movies are so expensive.
Sanding is one of the cheapest things you could possibly do on a film set
@EpicMailPotato they still get paid for that, its an unnecessary expense IMO.
@@durangodave it is still one of the quickest and most visible methods of weathering, there are a lot more time consuming yet subtle ways to weather items
@@EpicMailPotato And sanding is more eco-friendly than running stuff through the wash a dozen times.
First
Is it possible for her to make a sentence without using the word like every other word?
As a brit myself, it has become a thing that crept into our language. I catch myself doing it once in a blue moon even though I try my hardest not to 😂.
probably.. but like, who cares?
She’s obviously pretty nervous being on camera, how about you cut her a break?
Not everyone is absolutely perfect on camera this is someone doing their job, she's not a presenter... cut her some slack.
A bit like saying 'cool' all the time.
Take a shot every time this chick says “yeah”.... ffs... someone please help her with her vocabulary, that conversation was painful.
She's like mid twenties, EZ on the shots we will get the shitz
She's somebody who isn't a presenter who has given up her time to share her knowledge. She's clearly nervous. Have a bit of respect and show some gratitude for her doing this. I bet you'd be hopeless on camera if somebody came into your workplace.
She was a sweetheart.
