2. The Mission Patch
To create the mission patch I found
an image of a painted mountain
range with a backdrop of stars, via
Photoshop I cut a circle out of the
image to be the badge itself. I then
found an image of a rocket from a
1950-1960 sci-fi poster and
removed the rocket, from here I
stuck the rocket onto the badge
and then simply using the text
tool added the ship name (STAR
GAZER II)
3. Costume 1 – Pj’s
The space Pj’s consisted of a plain log
sleeved T-shirt and a pair of plain white
shorts, both then had the mission patch
transferred on via iron on print outs. This
costume proved effective in showing a
science fiction film as they are
reminiscent of other such science fiction
PJ style outfits.
4. Costume 2 - The suit
Lt
SHARM
AN
The basic body of the spacesuit is a asbestos protection suit
with two paint suits sown on the inside as well as insulation
padding in the chest, army and leg are. Two stick on mission
patches are on the suit, one on the chest and the other on
the shoulder, there is also a stick on union jack on the other
shoulder and a name tag under he chest mission patch.
There is also a blue plastic nozzle positioned on the upper
leg which looks very similar to the nozzles on spacesuits
seen today.
5. The Helmet
The helmet was a plain white solid helmet with
clear plastic visor. I printed the characters name
(LT.SHARMAN) and stuck one at either side of the
helmet there was also a small union jack stuck the
the back of the helmet. I also stuck the mission
patch on the center of the helmet.
6. Accessories
Boots:
The boots were a pair of plain black
wellington boots these were spray
painted white which effectively
made them appear to be space
boots.
Gloves:
The gloves were a pair of
blue liquid nitrogen gloves
which looked very similar
to the chunky padded
astronaut gloves
