I. Design: translate the universe into costume
It all started with a series of exchanges with the director and his technical team. Thanks to the storyboards, visual references and the script, we were able to lay the foundations of a universe between science fiction and survival, in which a man from a disadvantaged background creates a virtual memory device from bric and jug.
The costume had to tell this precariousness:
• Worn fabrics,
• Traces of oil,
• Mold,
• Elements recovered and seamed by hand,
• Holes, visible cables, wobbly but functional assemblies.
What could seem chaotic on the screen actually had to be worked with extreme precision to obtain this rendering: "tinkered to perfection".

II. Manufacturing: textures, techniques and intention
Our method aims to bring the imagination to life by using sustainable materials and textures marked by history, thus creating unique compositions. The traces of time play a fundamental role in the character's story. This involves many tests of textures and technical combinations, often with innovative materials, for a realistic and visually striking result.
III. Comfort of the actor: an essential priority
We believe that the suit should serve the story while respecting the actor's body. It is with this in mind that we have designed it so that it is light and mobile, allowing a quick adjustment on the set. Every detail is designed so that the actor focuses on his role, because it is the costume that must adapt to the actor and not the other way around.
IV. Turning & adjustments on the set
Last-minute adjustments were necessary, as often in the audiovisual sector. In collaboration with the technical team, we modified the costumes according to the scenes and effects. Thanks to our materials and teams, quick changes were possible, which allows our costumes to evolve with history.
V. Result
The final suit has perfectly integrated into the universe of Memoria, becoming an extension of the character and a narrative component.
