    Harry Potter Film and Theme Park Costuming | Laurent LOLO Guinci

    Laurent "Lolo" Guinci is a globally recognised costume designer and creative director whose career has become deeply intertwined with the legacy of the Harry Potter franchise. His remarkable journey began in the early 2000s, when he collaborated with award-winning costume designer Jany Temime on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), launching a long-standing creative relationship with Warner Bros. and the Wizarding World. His work spans iconic movie sets, large-scale theme parks, retail experiences, and museum-style exhibits. In this episode, Lolo and I chat about his career with a particular focus on his work with the Harry Potter franchise, including work on the films (from Prisoner of Azkaban through Deathly Hallows Part 2), theme parks (including Epic Universe), and Warner Bros studio tours. You can learn more about Lolo by visiting https://lolo.design/.

    Wonder Man | Marvel Studios | Co-Executive Producer Brian Gay

    Wonder Man is the newest Marvel Studios television series on Disney Plus. In this episode, I chat with Brian Gay, Co-Executive Producer of this series, about Wonder Man and about Brian's career. Brian worked alongside Kevin Feige and Marvel executives to develop Black Panther, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Captain Marvel, Loki, Hawkeye, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Werewolf by Night. As Wonder Man is described on Disney Plus, "Aspiring Hollywood actor Simon Williams is struggling to get his career off the ground. During a chance meeting with Trevor Slattery, an actor whose biggest roles may be well behind him, Simon learns legendary director Von Kovak is remaking the superhero film "Wonder Man." These two actors at opposite ends of their careers doggedly pursue life-changing roles in this film as audiences get a peek behind the curtain of the entertainment industry.” To plan a trip, be sure to work with KMV Travel.   Get bonus content, ad-free episodes, and more at patreon.com/imaginationskyway.   Tag me and join the conversation below.
