"A costume designer [getting] to work really closely with the visual effects team is amazing. We make all the costumes in real life before we transfer them to the visual effects team, to recreate them for the screen."
"How it fits the character, how it moves, what the elements of the environment might be. It's really, really complicated. It's really extreme."
"I do have a really fun memory of when I worked on ET, an ET had to dress up. I had a couple pieces of my kids dress up box and I brought them to work. So I have ET's hat, and it's one of my prize possessions."
Deborah L. Scott received an Oscar nomination for costume design on Avatar: Fire and Ash, a recognition that surprised some given the film's heavy reliance on visual effects. However, every digital costume worn by characters in the film began as an actual physical garment created by hand. Scott works closely with the visual effects team to design costumes considering how they fit characters, move, and interact with environmental elements. The process is intricate and demanding, requiring deep understanding of garment construction and character integration. Scott developed her costume design skills from childhood, learning to sew at a young age and maintaining pieces from her career, including costumes from E.T.
