Amazon's Fallout TV show is out, you may even have binged the series and settled back to wonder, how did they make that show so good? Luckily I got to meet Fallout's costume designer Amy Westcott who shares some key insights into the thinking that went into designing show's look, and it's not all about Bethesda's video game. There are some unusual design influences in Fallout.
There's a moment in Amazon's Fallout TV series where a central character pinches their Vault-Tec suit and says, "it's a bit tight". What feels like a throwaway line is really a moment's insight into the complexity of ushering into real life game designs that work in an 3D engine like Unreal Engine, but in the cold light of day, on a film set, can be awkward.
