Blackmagic Camera for Android Adds Improved Stability and Support for Pixel 9 Smartphones

Carlos Rosario is designing costumes for an upcoming film set in the Alien universe, collaborating with director Fede Alvarez. The film's setting is a deteriorated colony, and Rosario focused on two primary groups: farmers and miners. He researched mid-20th century American farmers and vintage Carhartt pieces for the farmers' attire, while for the miners, he drew inspiration from old uniforms and coveralls, combining elements like '80s ski suits with industrial gear. The costumes underwent an aging process for authenticity. Rosario emphasized the importance of the '80s sci-fi aesthetic, avoiding shiny fabrics and collaborating with Reebok to create sneakers for the character Rain. The character Andy's sleek coveralls featured numerous zippers and an industrial feel, with a fanny pack added during brainstorming sessions. Rosario took pride in designing a Hawaiian shirt for Navarro and faced challenges creating Rain's oversized red rain jacket, which required extensive trial and error to capture the right shade. Rosario acknowledged the technical challenges of the project, including the need for multiple costume versions for stunts and special effects, which required coordination with prosthetics and visual effects teams. He gained valuable insights for future projects involving intense action and unique character deaths.
