Super Cher Noble could use your opinion

Natasha Blasick is gorgeous. Will it be in English? I reviewed the costume material choices. Looks like quality stuff.

Skip the shoulder pad. No flats. Too practical. She is a superheroine. I was fed a steady diet of outrageously sexy comic book females and anything else kinda ruins it for me. So a sexy costume is a must.

"There's also a sexy villainess named Zazzy who's get demented superpowers a few episodes on." Ok, enough already, take my money. Assume a video for sale? Or how are you marketing this?

Looking forward for more.

To touch on something that Twice said...this does look diffrent and it took me awhile to figure out what-

Really this looks like you designed a costume from around 1985. If Marvel where introducing a supeherhoine, i would say she is from the mid late 80s. The shoulder pad the asymtery-it all feels very 80s

And that kind of works for it. and if i where you i would embrace it.

If you have the budget and the means do it as a period peice. Not just the costume.

But do it well. Recently there was the Kung Fury-which i thought was okay-and okay a lot on it felt less about bad 80s movie which its superfically mocking then the cultural material around it-as someone on facebook put it-its for people who like bad b movies who never actually watched them.

I would contrast that with the insideious movies-which maybe not great, but do lean pretty well actually on there earlys eighties settings-they get the tone and detail right(if there not always frights) there is a good sence of people trying there damndest to be smart and scientific even if they have to use reel to reel tape to do so. There is a versilimtude to the work that i liked.

Even if this is a comedy-think about it and how you want to do it and this could really work.

Still, I'd not want to see her running down on power constantly though....just use it as a needed limitation and factor it into some stories. Using it regularIy might work with how your story is plotted though (I wouldn't change things just because i don't like it's over use) -- just that when i hear those things they get a bit old and overused (especially in re-occuring shows). Like they spend 5 minutes of every episode dealing with this limitation ... I'd rather have NEW STORY.

In the classic 1960s Ultraman he had only three minutes of power and when his warning light came on it made for a pretty exciting finish every episode.

This will definitely be in English. Cher, being educated, learned English for her job before the accident. And although Natasha speaks Ukrainian and Russian, I don't. Her modern day home base is Los Angeles.

We had a big day shopping and discussing all the comments here. Many helpful ideas!! After shopping in the LA Fashion District we went back to Abby's place for a fitting. Natasha wore a body suit (which is not the costume) and Abby drew lines on in for her future reference.

Here's some pics from the day:

Hi!! And thank you so very much for all your comments and suggestions!! I really appreciate it so much. I want the Super Cher Noble project to be the best it can be.

We've been thinking about making this for a couple of years now, and it's very exciting to move forward and have so much of your support on it. <3 <3 <3 I'm so excited about that I just talked about SCN on a talk show interview today on PopcornTalk, which is part of after buzz TV.


Tomorrow is my second fitting for the costume. Not only is it exciting, it's nerve-wracking too. It's all happening so fast. We're considering all your comments about the costume and working on incorporating what we can. The whole shoulder pad debate has given us a lot to think about. It does make sense that it looks 80's because that's the only fashion she knows - before being revived in modern times. I'm actually excited that that translates into the costume.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. I'll do my best to bring Super Cher Noble to life.

xoxo

Thanks for posting Natasha and welcome to SWM! I wish you and Martin all the best on your project; it certainly is exciting!

really looking forward to see this i bet you be great as super cher noble natasha and i wish u and martin all the best on it

Hello Natasha and welcome. Super Cher Noble all the way!

This seems like a really cool project and hope your able to complete it quickly for an episode one. My hope with the series is we see an alter ego along with the Superheroine side of her. How she hides on the streets of Ukraine (if your setting it there) and uses her cape to transform into her. With her having to recharge, That could be a way to put a human side to the Superhuman.

There's a short documentary featuring Abby, our costumer, titled "Cape & Cowl - A Cosplay Documentary Short Film". All of the costumes in there are her work. I love the part about how transformative people feel it is about wearing their costumes. I like that they feel strong.



As an actress you do transform yourself for a role. The costumes are a strong visualization of the change, which makes it even easier.

I watched that this morning.
Natasha is so beautiful, inside and out.
You can just tell by the way she presents herself.

I watched part of the clip. I have to say this checks out.

Thank you for watching and your lovely comments. I'm really touched by your kindness.

The costume got made…and we don’t love it. We went through several fittings over several weeks. It just never got ‘super’. We did go to one pre comic con event in it and had a good time. Abby was still making adjustments to later than the very last second. Here’s some pics to see what actually is rather than me jabbering about it.

I can’t shoot that. The seams are lumpy. And just plain off. The boot tips are off center. The gauntlets are just velcroed and flimsy. The cape is backwards compared to the sketch. The puffy material widens the waist and the cut minimizes the bust. And the material looks like jammies. At least that’s how Natasha and I see it. Abby was so stoked about how great it was going to be I let her go for it.

We got it on July 2. Actually we were too bummed out to post here about it. But life moves on. We still need a costume.

And since we’re back at the starting gate, we’re rethinking the design. I was totally vested in the look we came up with. After seeing it though we’re both in favor of getting something that looks great, not only on a sketch but on the real live Natasha.

Natasha pulled together a Wonder Woman costume for Comic Con. Although we’d planned on promenading her as Super Cher Noble, we roamed around and took a lot of pics with folks. Here’s her WW costume.

And here’s a youtube slideshow of her (set to my song).


Thank you all for following along. It’s a project we’re really into.

We’re behind schedule shooting due to not having the costume. But, we’ve boo hoo’d a little and picked ourselves up and started putting together some new ideas for the next Super Cher Noble design. And we’re on the lookout for a costumer, too.

This looks okay-part of the issue with any superhero costume is-pick your angles. work the lighting, in the bottom picture in particular i think it looks rather nice actually in part-the boots do look good from my point of view(that being a photgraph)) as do the sleeves and the shoulder piece. they actually look pretty great. everything that shinny has a nice luster to it.

Part of the issue i think with this design as the classic "Hey i am wearing a body suit and a cape...often looks really silly in real life. Look at the suit in superman returns about 6 years ago to see an example of that-it s hard to make realistic-which is why Man of Steel went really far in another direction(and still i think looks impressive, but not

As is you have fast swabs of more or less pure white down the center-which is tricky. You do have the obvious seam down the center which looks bad, but not sure the main body was going to look wait-do like the quilted center of it-like it a lot actually but it highlights how plain the center really is. They do minimize the bust...but the pure white does some of the same for it. she looks a bit like a gymnaist already.

And the Cape yeah-that looks bad. not sure how to fix it with the basic design. Look at man of steel and you will see a gigantic ass cloak of one.

So not great effort-but i don't think a terrible one. i think you could work with this, but understand if you don't want to and there elments that may work quite well-but yeah you need work here, and may want to go for the drawing board.

Good luck here.

An obvious question:

What kind of movie are you making? What kind of character is Super Cher? I think a lot of it depends on that.

Recently some of my friends where working on a Batman Fan film: Which looks pretty terrible. I mean horrible, with a costume a lot lot worse then this. The problem was-well they damm putt it in the light-with a costume that doesn't really work well in the light it looked cheep and rather silly actually.....and but i bet iff they used the ones in the nolan movies they would have gotten the same effect. How do you want to position this.

I don't think the basic idea of the costume is that bad.

Never liked the shoulder pad from the first, you can lose it.
Notice how in both pictures Natasha tilts her head to emphasize a clunky, unnecessary bump on her shoulder.
In her Wonder Woman pictures she looks much more relaxed and natural.

Try some accessories like a corset maybe to tighten the waist and enhance the bust line.

Keep the asymmetrical cape, maybe a different color.
