WHY?
Because costumes need to look good and stay consistent from scene to scene. Without a set costume assistant, collars shift, accessories vanish, and outfits seem to change on their own.
WHAT?
Prepare costumes, assist with dressing, adjust looks between takes, prevent continuity errors, and collaborate with the costume designer and director.
WHEN?
Throughout the entire shoot. The set costume assistant is always nearby whenever the camera’s rolling.
HOW?
With attention to detail, speed, and strong organizational skills – plus a bag full of needles, tape, and safety pins for on-the-spot fixes.
