Leading the way

We must admit it’s pretty thrilling when you know your work will be seen by millions of people — especially when its Marvel Studios’ Captain America: The Winter Soldier. In this blockbuster superhero flick, our costume designs and props are front and center — and they’re some of the most notable pieces from the movie.

The Winter Soldier

We designed and created the Winter Soldier’s sleek mask, made with a variety of materials and textures. We started with a digital scan of the actor, and then custom formed a soft mask to fit the actor’s face. Even though it’s “soft,” the mask is internally shaped to retain the actor’s facial structure, regardless of any movement underneath. This made it comfortable and pliable but also consistent in appearance. We also went through a rigorous R&D phase to make sure the actor could speak easily and be heard clearly from beneath the mask.
