I found it awesome that Mr Black chose to write his response this way because it just means a lot to all of us that he would put as much time in his response as he did and through giving us suggestions and explaining these to us seems a lot more personal. less of a critique and just generally nicer and more helpful than some of the other responses that we got.
Firstly, regarding his responses to the costumes, I completely agree with the fact that some of the costumes seemed more westernised and could sometimes confuse people. I realised this too once all the costumes were put together but unfortunately it didn't seem to me that we could've done much because of the time restraints and our access to costumes that would've suited better. I also think that his observations about the makeup (gods not being different enough, people not being dirtier enough, etc.) were completely true too. That was one thing that I was kind of upset about because I was so excited to be able to use the makeup and stage effects to how we explained in our pitch. Unfortunately many of these things couldn't happen, again, because of time and also because of the lack of care and cooperation from some cast members.
