And here’s Dan explaining a bit about the process:<\/h3>\n

Hey Mike,<\/em><\/p>\n

So I worked on Deadpool primarily when we built the costumes for the movie back in 1st quarter of 2015. The company I work for was responsible for all of his costumes as well as the costumes for another character in the movie called ‘Negasonic Teenage Warhead’ (yes, you read that correctly).<\/em><\/p>\n

Things are somewhat compartmentalized, but the vast majority of what I do is all of the 3D or “specialty” components of a costume. The sewing and assembling is generally different people, although I do get in there sometimes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Most of the 3D parts and things that aren’t just fabric go through me. Much of it starts as a clay sculpture or sometimes 3D printed item that is then molded. From that mold a casting is made and then refined or body-shopped, much like you would with a car body.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is then molded again for the final time, and then the final parts are cast. This can be a myriad of materials from foam, latex, urethane, rubber, silicone, plastic, rubber, fiberglass, or epoxy.<\/em><\/p>\n

Those parts then all have to be trimmed and then often further refined, before being painted, and then assembled either together, or onto the soft goods and fabric components.<\/em><\/p>\n

I hope this helps? Let me know if you need more info.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks! Always great to hear from you!<\/em><\/p>\n
