BA [Hons] Design for Stage + Screen Costume Design

Hi! my names Conor Morrin, I'm a young Irish designer completing my degree in costume design. I would say my biggest strength is my creativity and my unique point of view. I'm happy to be presenting some of my final degree work here, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Interview with the vampire Designed for animated screen Conor Morrin

Louis wears his 1790 attire here. He wears a typical American style. His signature blue colour accents his outfits as he moves through time.

Here Louis wears his 1860 attire, which consists of a top hat, overcoat and opera cape.

Louis walks through all the paintings that are for each period. this could be called " a walk through time". He wears his 1790 attire and his 1870 attire.

Here is Lestat in 1840, he wears typical Baroque era clothing. Like Louis he has a signature colour that accents his clothes as he moves through time, that being Green.

In 1990 Lestat wears the clothes of 1920 as that was the last time he left the house.

Here Claudia wears her 1815 attire. She always has a doll with her that matches the colour scheme of Lestat in the same time period.

Claudia wears her 1870 attire here. Her doll has the eyes crossed out to give a sense of foreboding as Claudia dies in this time.

Here is the costumes for all the characters including their transformations.

The Final Transformations can be seen here

This painting is for the time of 1860. It is by Honoré Daumier.

Interview with the Vampire

Based on the script by Anne Rice. These designs are based around a retelling for animated screen.

Born as an 18th-century lord, Louis is now a bicentennial vampire, telling his story to an eager biographer. Suicidal after the death of his family, he meets Lestat, a vampire who persuades him to choose immortality over death and become his companion. Eventually, gentle Louis resolves to leave his violent maker, but Lestat guilts him into staying by turning a young girl — whose addition to the "family" breeds even more conflict.

The piece is more serious and revolves around the human form and the vampire form being separated. The costumes themselves take control of the characters as we move through time and are grotesque in nature. The use of realism and collage in the vampire form helps achieve this.

The world in which the characters live in, is based on famous paintings of the time period they are residing in.

Evaluating the cultural and historical portrayal of the 1930's through the character of Betty Boop and her animated features

For my Thesis my research examined the character of Betty Boop specifically focusing on her career in the early to late 1930's and examining the points of notable transition in both her appearance character and world. We look at issues surrounding the portrayal of being a working woman in the 1930s, we also look at issues like assault and the portrayal of race.
