I worked on a short film called Sledgehammer as a costume designer where I had to make wearable space marine armor with lights. My total budget for 5 costumes was $5000, so I was cutting it very thin for labor because of material cost. When they slashed my budget to $2000, I wasn't able to make the armor to the satisfaction of the producer with what I had to work with. Still, it was a fun project to work on and I learned a lot about working with foam and fiberglass.
