Behind the Scenes of the Zendaya Armor Photoshoot!

Hi partners! So you may or may not have seen me being an absolute mad lad and making Zendaya's/Mugler's robot armor from the Dune 2 premiere in a week.

I worked with my AMAZING friend Olivia to set up the photoshoot and capture the photos (she's a lighting wizard), and I wanted to document the process! 

ENJOY!

Darling, cleaning up the sand should be easy! Just keep it on the tarp and fold the tarp up!! ❤️

Emma Polaris

As soon as I saw the orange light and sand combo I thought it would be an awesome opportunity to do more The Mummy (Evie) cosplay photos. Its always wonderful to see how the photo shoots work in the barn. Great video as always!

Sylvie

C-3PO vibes, for sure.

Wendy Nordstrom

The photos turned out incredible!

Melissa Gutiérrez

Caitlin S.

Sand! “It’s coarse and rough and irritating… and it gets everywhere.” Enjoyed the video immensely.

*the ghost repeatedly opening your door to hang out only to have Olivia slam it shut* "yo man what the fu"

Your eyebrows look INCREDIBLE in this

My OCD self was twitching enough at all the paper snow... and then you add SAND! Aggghhhhh!!!!! LOL, seriously though, love seeing behind the scenes stuff like this, and I LOVED Olivia's photos of your Jon Snow. MAKE THAT WOMAN WATCH DARK CRYSTAL NOW!

I find it kind of funny that I have more mobility in my 1420's Burgundian Gothic Armor. P.S. I was born 5 days after The Dark Crystal Came out.

Lord Frederick

Ahh I loved watching this having watched your video of making it this morning. Forever in awe!

Jessica Lewis

Duuuuuuuuude! My inner child just yelped! You have to see the dark crystal! OMG! Rachel! Would you ever try and make Kira's outfit? #buttnakedvintage ❤️❤️❤️

Mary Ella

Can you please do a video on “how to learn your poses” I feel like you’re queen! At posing and I’m wondering how you got there ☺️

Samantha E.

This was SO great!!! You make me want to get into photography.

Samantha E.

I'm actually going to see Dark Crystal tonight !

Margaret MacLellan

I was thinking she should have used on of the sandbags to keep the door closed !

Margaret MacLellan

It's so sweet to see two creative humans just being so comfortable and having fun with one another 💚

I LOVE these BTS videos and the photos have turned out incredible :-D I don't envy you having to clean up all that sand though - back in the 90s when I was living in London, a friend of ours who lived in a terraced house with a small concrete back yard had a "beach party". For that he ordered a tonne of builders sand to be delivered and he filled his yard with it, stuck a paddling pool in one corner and voila, we had a beach. He also had wooden floors throughout his entire house so it was like an ice skating rink inside once the sand started to get walked through, and he was literally sweeping and hoovering up sand for MONTHS. It was a great party, but I'm so glad I didn't have to live with the mess afterwards!! If the beach party was today it would totally have been Dune themed :-D

The Anakin quote tho 😂

I do genuinely want to say I love that you always include a silly very human photo in the Instagram carousel. I love seeing all the stylized and beautiful shots but there is that kind of perceived 'oh I'm not that cool or pretty or collected' that is immediately broken in the best way by a silly photo. You are beautiful and cool but those perfect photos are styled and curated. I don't have to compare my silly candid to your curated photo instead I can compare my candid to yours and it feels more real and like human connection. I don't know this is rambly but I do mean this as genuine compliment and appreciation. It's easy to let the perfect social media photos get you down but yours never do.

Dogs loud drinking 🤣🤣

Mintfaery

Yeah, if you're doing stuff the work area is always either in the process of getting messed up or cleaned up. :-P Looks like you had a good time, and the results are great!

BrainGuy63

Short but sweet! Olivia is phenomenal with capturing and lighting you! I hope you all have a blast when you have her watch The Dark Crystal! Love you tons gorgeous! BTW please do the Beetlejuice for Maks-oween that was mentioned in the past livestream with you as Delia, Tommy as Otho and maybe Nick can be Charles or Beetlejuice with Frodo as a Sandworm and have Olivia take some killer shots! I know it's early yet but... planning ahead... lol 💚💙

LOL yup 🤣🤣

Rachel Maksy

i'm HOPING that it'll be easier to clean up with the tarp but also wouldn't be surprised if it's there for the next 50 years LOL

I relate so much to your struggle to keep your barn clean, your barn and my desk/craft room could swap stories 😅

I always love to see the behind-the-scenes stuff! (Partially because we get a peek into what cleanup has got to be like.) This looked like a challenge, because sand. Do you think that was better, worse, or about equal to all the paper snow? Also, there were two additional bits that absolutely DELIGHTED me: 1.) DOG HAIR. It true if you're a crafter and have pets, everything you make gonna have a soupçon of pet hair. 2.) The door just randomly being blown open occasionally due to the wind.

I'm looking forward to watching this after work!

Emma-Rose Colk

incroyable, magnifique, très belle 🤌🏻
