As the year once again draws to an end and 2014 is almost amongst us, we take the time to reflect on what has been yet another great year. In this post we will purely be focusing on T.V realises this year as well as a sneak peek into whats to come next year. From media warfare between the two biggest Australian television and newspaper empires to solving mysteries and murders with a doctor as well as many more memorable TV moments.
1. Dr Blake Mysteries
Doctor Lucien Blake, who returns home to Ballarat in 1959 to take over his late father’s general medical practice after an absence of 30 years. Doctor Blake is a keeper of secrets and a solver of mysteries.
We made several suits for Dr Blake played byCraig Mclachlan, which he appears in them more than often
2. A place to call home
Set in Northern New South Wales in the period following World War II, it follows Sarah Adams, who has returned to Australia after twenty years abroad to start a new life and ends up clashing with wealthy matriarch Elizabeth Bligh. Mainly focusing on the social change of the 1950s.
1940s-50s shirts is something we have made several times before, such as for Gangster Squad and Captain America. So it is no wonder why we are asked to make dozens of shirts for this production .
3. Madonna: MDNA Tour
Madonna returns to stadiums and arenas for her ninth tour, and the highest grossing tour of 2012.
We very pleased to be able to make costumes for this music tour as compared to Movies, theatre, opera and TV its not something we do as often. We made many costumes for the male backing dancers and musicians.
4. Power Games: The packer-Murdoch Story
Power Games is about the making of Modern Australia through the eyes of competing media moguls. Spanning 1960 to 1972, Power Games takes us behind the scenes of Australia’s newspaper and television empires. Inside the Packer family, Sir Frank controls the family business with a mix of generosity and terror.
For this hit sequel to the power games series we made everything from 2-3 piece suits, shirts, ties, jackets, waistcoats from all of the main cast to waiters and other extras.
5. The mentalist
A famous “psychic” outs himself as a fake and starts working as a consultant for theCalifornia Bureau of Investigation so he can find “Red John,” the madman who killed his wife and daughter.
We were asked to supply some authentic Thai Fabric from our stock as well as a few garments such as Sarongs.
SNEAK PEAK INTO NEXT YEAR:
If you have been following us that you will know that we are currently working onRussel Crowe‘s director debut “The Water Diviner” which is set to be realised next year and Guillermo Del Toro gothic romance ” Haunted Peak” which won’t reach the big screen until 2015. Lets not forget…
The Knick
Clive Owen takes on the role of Dr John W as we take a look at the professional and personal lives of the staff at New York’s Knickerbocker Hospital during the early part of the twentieth century. Not much has yet been realised on this upcoming TV series however its due for a 2014 realise so watch this space.
We made around about 100 costumes consisting of Shirts, Waistcoats and Jackets.
Next time we will be reflecting on our stage work, from theatre and opera.
