I have always been interested in the “spark of life”, but for the past few years I have become rather fascinated by an unusual and exotic substance more commonly known as ‘Ormus’. Ormus is a spin-off of an acronym that refers to a group of thirteen metals on the periodic table of elements that, under certain constraints, can supposedly go into a super-conductive state. It is in many circles, and ancient alchemical texts, believed to be the bridge between spirit and matter. Or, the ‘Prometheus Spark’ if you will. I find it appropriate to be delving myself into a character obsessed with unravelling the secret to human animation, and as I become more familiar with, Victor Frankenstein, I find myself feeling eerily connected…
It’s about passion for fashion. These are not all the costumes, but just a handful. Elizabeth’s wedding dress will be kept under wraps until the film is released. The same will go for the monster’s look and costume.
In the world of Frankenstein’s Monster (2013), Victor’s obsession over Prometheus’ Spark, causes him to dive into multiple sciences. It is in his laboratory and through his creation that we will see steampunk elements shine. Some steampunk elements will not as obvious as others. Expect wood, metal, a claustrophobic environment, bronze, steam, symbolism, and other sciences represented.
A contrasting world will be created compared to Victor and his laboratory. The outside world exists in American Southern forests and nearby estuaries. It gives a feeling of isolation that matches Mary Shelley’s impressions. Women’s costumes will lean either Southern or Western. Most dresses will be either pastels or neutrals. Lots of frills. Some dresses with hoop skirts. All of the costumes are 19th Century.
Good news to share!
Unwoman, a genius in the steampunk music world, has granted us permission to use one of her songs as the background music in our promotional fundraising video! The song is called “Cruelty” and it’s a fantastic instrumental piece. It is number 2 in the link below. I encourage everyone to please support this generous artist.
We are pleased to announce that Preacher’s Powderworks & Projectiles from Austin, Texas will be designing Victor Frankenstein’s gear.
