The Furs, for example, wears animal motifs or fur textured clothing. The costume designer Colleen Atwood, who has won the Academy Awards, stated that his inspiration for dress-up Wednesday came from modern streetwear styles and musicians' fashion, especially singer Billie Eilish.
Wednesday's Nevermore uniform is decorated with design and stencils that are done hand in hand, while the dress she wears while dancing at the RaveN Dance is the result of modifications from the famous designer boutique Azzedine Ala hala.Thing stole the attention
Things played by Victor Doroban's opponent often steal the audience's attention through his unexpected movements. Just in case, the production team also has a number of prosthetic hands in various positions if needed.
Uniquely, Dorobani had a tattoo in the form of a hand image before he was involved in Wednesday. In the process of filming, his wife added another tattoo based on the cover of the book Nightwielding Society that appears in the series.
"I'm happy to have a tattoo that has a special meaning, and this series is the best thing in my life. I have to capture it," said Dorobantu.
Amazing production details
The Wednesday series managed to amaze the audience not only from its various characters but also extraordinary production details. The shooting process was carried out in 70 locations and six studios. Meanwhile, the design of a number of shops such as flower shops and shoes in the city of totaling was taken directly from the illustration of Charles Addams, the United States cartoonist who produced The Addams Family.
Production designer Marc Scruton wants the Nevermore Academy to appear like a New England-style, United States, and at the same time take inspiration from the architecture in Bukares, Romania, which has the influence of Renaissance, Ottoman, and Transylvania.
These mixed styles are also a symbol of Nevermore as a place that is open to anyone, including those who are considered different. Also pay attention to the faces of the gargoya in Nevermore which are lifted from various supernatural creatures and can put on happy and sad faces according to the storyline.
Mutual music
Wednesday's main music was composed by world composer Danny Elfman inspired by the images of Charles Addams. The composer used Harpsichord's musical instrument to show ties to the television series The Addams Family he used to watch as a child.
When Elfman started looking for the right music for Wednesday, Tim Burton as executive producer and director suggested that he take references from classic composer Johann Sebastian Bach's works.
In the end, Elfman made the decision that Wednesday's music had to be gotik in tone, but also had a touch of humor as well as a dark color.
