Abstract
This entry details a photograph of Meg Woods in costume as Vash the Stampede from Trigun and was included in a collection published by Colin Magazine. It demonstrates expertise and mastery over costuming practices and photo shoot planning, including pre production and post editing. These skills include textile and prop design, lighting, location scouting, collaboration between creatives, performance in front of a camera and understanding of the cultural elements of transmedia (such as the representation of animated characters in real world contexts).
This work also emphasises the advantages of using Australian locations to create images that would be impossible to create in other parts of the world. This is due to the unique landscapes, lighting and environment to reference the fantastical or distinctive worlds from media such as a neo-cyber western like Trigun.
