about
"Venner Fra Før" a sitcom produced by NRK TV,
the largest media organisation in Norway. It is about four roommates in their early 20´s who've moved from the suburbs to Oslo.
​
I was the Costume Designer and set-costumer for the show from January 2022 through May 2022. This experience thought me not only to think about a character’s individual style while creating outfits, but also the overall aesthetic of a production.
​
I was using costumes to build characters by relating to realism, knowledge of form, silhouettes, materiality, textiles and colour theory. Whether that meant a well-worn t-shirt, a furry sweater or a shiny dress, backed up by accessories, make-up and hair. In order to appear credible, I would involve patina and distressing by washing, drying and crinkling the clothes on high temperatures, and occasionally involving using fake blood, smear oil or create burning marks etc. to suit the use.
In addition to being Costume Designer, I was also the head Set-Costumer.
My responsibilities were prepping costumes for the day's work, organising fittings, dressing actors, fixing tears and rips professionally and ensuring continuity on set. Because of restricted budget and time period, I got savvy finding solutions and I constantly had to re-invent the characters through their wardrobe.
