It’s time to have a serious conversation. I have to admit something important - we had no idea what we were going to wear for this music video. We went back and forth between our options, and that’s normal! We did land on some simple costumes for the characters, but not without some conversation about the subject.
Originally, we wanted to put the characters in ugly sweaters to add to the theme of the video. Warm clothing was the goal because it imitated the many videos we watched during the research process. We quickly came to the conclusion that this was not feasible. The weather in Florida is extremely hot, regardless of what time of year it is. It would be way too uncomfortable to have our characters in thick fabrics. Especially since we would be filming for a few hours.
Our second option was to wear Christmas pajamas. This was a cute and fun option that gets the point across without being too uncomfortable for the characters. Seeing as only one of us had Christmas pajamas to wear, we settled on having only one character wear it. The other two wore shirts with iconic Christmas patterns and characters. This covered the two things that were absolutely necessary for the costumes - comfort and aesthetic.
After we settled on Christmas shirts and pajama pants, the costumes were still not complete. They felt like they were missing something. Because it was going to be a little chilly, one character was going to wear a jacket, and that covered the design of his shirt. As a result, we decided we needed to add some holiday themed accessories. Fortunately, we had a good selection of hats and headbands that the characters could wear.
The addition of the accessories provided a perfect finish to our costumes. We are finally ready to film, and plan on doing so later this week.
