We've made some filming of combines and City 17 citizens. Finally we're done with the creation of the combine uniform. The uniform itself is hand-made and consists of these elements: vest, jacket with straps, double belt, holster… We also made different removable ribbons (we've ordered them in specialized company). The mask was much harder to make. The first mask we made was very heavy because it was made of putty, epoxy, and clay.
The second one, which was made by the property master of TUZ (Theater of young viewer), was much better than the first one, but it got its own drawbacks, like lack of view and it's absolutely hermetical.
During the last shooting we decided to add some sort of hose to the mask for breathing. But we couldn't find anything that could solve this problem and the longest time the combine took was about 1,5-2 minutes, because there was not enough air in the mask.
And there is even less time if the combine is actually running, fighting or doing any activity...
