Screenwriting (Screencraft Series)

The award-winning Screencraft series delves into each craft of film-making, unravelling the mystique behind the work of some of the world's greatest living practitioners. Previous books in the series have included Cinematography, Directing and Screenwriting. Dressing actors to suit character, place and period is more crucial to the film-making process than many realize. Costume Design gives a compelling insight into the practitioners of the art and their work, featuring interviews with 15 world-class international costume designers. The book is visually stunning, brimming with sketches, fabric swatches, photographs, production shots and stills from the designers' own collections. They have come to the craft through many and varied backgrounds, and draw their inspiration from wildly varying sources. In the winning Screencraft style they explain their techniques in their own words, revealing the personality and passion behind some of cinema's greatest costumes. Contributors include Ann Roth (US), Eiko Ishioka (US/Japan), Anthony Powell (UK), Piero Tosi (Italy), Albert Wolsky (US) and Theodora van Runkle (US).
