Sammy Sheldon - Costume Designer

The Hellboy costume she made

Hey Guys, I am Sammy Sheldon but you might know me better as the Costume Designer of Hellboy 2. My job in making Hellboy come to life is to research on what the characters look like, design the costumes and make them as best as I can for all of the characters to make them look real.

I absolutely love my job. I get to do what I love everyday. My passion is making clothes and I picked do make a career out of it as a costume designer for movies! It is really cool researching and reading the comics of Hellboy to try and find out what all of the characters look like Now that is what i like about my job but what I don't really like about my job is finding out what sizes the actors are. Sometimes, I can accidentally make the wrong size and it wont fit them, then I have to make a whole new outfit which is very annoying.

There was some on set problems with my costume which I made for Ron Perlman who played Hellboy. The problems was with his tail, he was on set and the cameras were rolling and he started walking and tripped over his tail! It was really funny and all the cast and crew were laughing a lot! As the tail was made out of rubber, and when Ron Perlman tripped on it, it squashed and I had to make a completely knew tail for the costume. which was a little bit unfair as I worked hard on the costume but at least it was quite funny to watch.

When I see the completed movie, I will most probably be amazed at what me and the other cast and crew created and I hope you see what we see and I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I know I will. I better go finish making Hellboy's tail again!
Bye, Sammy Sheldon.
