Meghan Kasperlik - Costume Designer on Watchmen

December 08, 2020 • Jessica Cohen • Episode 15

Meghan Kasperlik’s credits include Watchmen, 99 Homes, Fahrenheit 451, Noah, and many more, but she didn’t always want to be in production. In fact, she originally wanted to go into the medical field, but when she was in high school, she started to broaden her horizons and develop an interest in fashion. A retail job developed into a fashion magazine internship, which then led to a job offer in the fashion PR field. After that, she worked under Patty Field as a PA and worked her way up, and the rest is history. Meghan’s background in PR has given her a unique, well-rounded perspective as a costume designer.

In this episode, Meghan talks about her biggest challenges in her production career, the moments where she just made it work, the ins and outs of costume design and character development, and more! This episode is a long one, but you’re going to love it!

Tune in to learn more about:

Character Development: Who are the characters? What is their background? How much research goes into costume design?
Working your way up: For all the PAs or aspiring PAs out there: just jump in and do anything that is asked of you. Always be willing to help, because that shows willingness to learn.
The challenges of working in production: how to “turn it off,” and why you should remain calm instead of freaking out!
The differences between TV and film: from pacing, to the advancement of technology, to conceptualizing it as an 8 hour movie vs. a 2 hour movie, and more.
