THE SUPER DESIGNERS BEHIND THE SUPER SUITS - PANELhttps://www.dcfandome.com/schedule/insiderverse/5f343a57ad87080017244a81?language=en -- Panelists included four-time Academy Award®-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood: "I've done a lot of pilots for The CW. I did the Flash, the Arrow, Supergirl and Batwoman for Berlanti Productions. So I've sort of just done the pilots for these things and then handed them off. And I've only done those characters' costumes and developed them for the first, you know, the first show out of the chute for all those." -- Colleen Atwood talked about her process of adapting the Supergirl suit from the comics to TV and designing a Supergirl suit "for our time." CA: "I think, for me, that was the year the Met Ball almost everybody was naked and it really annoyed me. And I was just like, you know, they all looked great and all that, but I was like, I'm going to dress Supergirl in a way that's sort of - not reactionary, but just in a way that's so classic that - that she works for any - any all seasons. So that was sort of my starting point with it. It wasn't like the bare midriff... She was actually clothed in the same kind of costume almost that a guy would have, but it was a woman's costume, without making it like an army thing or trousers or stuff. It still was feminine. It had a skirt. But I really wanted it to be strong and show her strength as a person, not just a super body. Because she was kinda the first one CW had done that was a woman, there was a lot of, you know, a lot of opinionate - uh, things. But I had total support, actually, from DC and the guys there on where I went with it and, you know, it evolved over the years, since it's been out. But - but it was a fun challenge and just getting it sort of classic and, you know, it could go wherever, like, almost like a fresh start."

Trini February 2, 2021 Author Share February 2, 2021 (edited) Azie Tesfai Co-Writes Episode For Supergirl Final Season Quote Azie Tesfai, who stars as Kelly Olsen on the CW’s Supergirl, is doing double duty this season. She co-wrote, with supervising producer J. Holtham, episode 12 for the show’s upcoming sixth and final season. Many actors have directed episodes on the series before, but this is the first time an actor has penned an episode for one of Greg Berlanti’s shows. David Ramsey (Arrow) is set to direct. “I am so grateful to write for Supergirl‘s final season. It’s been such an honor to play Kelly Olsen, a BIPOC and queer character in the DC universe,” Tesfai said. “Working in our amazing writers room and co-writing an episode has been an immensely educational and empowering experience. Writing is such a passion for me and I’m excited to continue on this creative journey.” ETA: Edited February 2, 2021 by Trini 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/26789-supersuits-sets-and-special-effects-the-production-topic/page/6/#findComment-6581674

I wonder if they are being more cautious about location shoots due to Covid or if Melissa Benoist's absence was the reason for that? ETA: Ken at Pursuit23 on twitter did indicate that Supergirl is limiting location shoots, apparently more so than the other shows.

MarkHB March 9, 2021 Share March 9, 2021 As much as I would like to see a crossover of some sort before the series ends, it hasn't escaped me that Melissa has a new baby at home. As Kevin Smith has said, Number One on the call sheet sets the tone for any production, and by all accounts she has been a pure delight to work with for 5 seasons. If she feels she needs to use some of that goodwill to say "I really need for this to be a bubble as much as possible so I don't bring anything home to Huxley," more power to her. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/26789-supersuits-sets-and-special-effects-the-production-topic/page/6/#findComment-6651491
angora March 9, 2021 Share March 9, 2021 Agreed. I hope that the series finale leaves enough of a window open for Kara or other characters to make occasional guest-starring appearances on other Arrowverse shows down the line, but I completely understand not doing a crossover this year. As much as I love Kara and Barry's friendship, I wouldn't enjoy it as much if I knew any scenes between them put the actors and crew at even greater risk than they already have to deal with right now. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/26789-supersuits-sets-and-special-effects-the-production-topic/page/6/#findComment-6652021

In fact, it ultimately bolstered my confidence as a storyteller and greatly appreciate the power of collaboration. Respect for every department that works tirelessly to make great TV, the need for humility, the significance of punctuality, and the reward for making some (calculated) risks were the biggest takeaways for me.
