Rachel 10/16/10


There's a whole crew of a ship in Shipwrecked! (which should come as a surprise to exactly no one), and here's a rendering showing the captain, Jensen, and one of the sailors. For these, i have a couple of research pictures to share, because i think they're particularly useful to look at in context.

First, Captain Jensen: in talks with the director, he had a very strong image of Captain Jensen as being like Captain Haddock from Tintin. The cap and the peacoat and a turtleneck sweater are taken straight from that character's iconic look.

With the sailor, he's meant to be one example of what the crew will look like, which will be composed of two players and three Foley artists (who are normally off to the side making the sound effects in view of the audience but not onstage, but in this scene will join the players for a large crowd effect). In thinking about how to dress the collective five Sailors then, i'm going to be choosing pieces that evoke this research image:
