CapU Costuming has a new patching machine for leather work. Here's a brief overview of how it works!

A few weeks ago, our second year class was privileged to welcome Arris from to teach one of our intensives. Students were introduced to working with leather, learning to make slip covers for shoes - a technique often seen in the film industry. Say goodbye to never having the right shoe for the fit!

Detail shots from our leatherworking intensive at CapU! Second year students dove in to making slip covers, the majority of them having never worked with leather or shoes. If you could make any shoe, what would you make?

Every spring our first and second year students team up with Capilano Motion Picture Arts Program to work on a short film together. The first film production collaboration of the year just wrapped! Butterflies and Heliophysics, Directed by Rebecca Thomas (.rt), Starring Julius Heck () and Alexis Cannon (.cannon_) is an apocalyptic love story. Here are some behind the scenes pictures provided by our costuming crew!:

This week, the 2nd year’s in CapU costuming made masks in our mask intensive! Everyone came up with their own concept for a mask and worked with our instructor to learn how to realize it!

On set, actors of course need to eat, but us costumers have to protect the costume while they do it!
