Bob Buck |Costume Designer

Bob Buck is a Costume Designer who thrives on a challenge. With over 30 years of experience across many genres and project scales, he is driven by his creative intuition, strategic planning ability and passion for bringing scripts to life. https://www.bbuckcostume.com

 

Designing for blockbusters such as ‘Avatar 2’, ‘The Hobbit Trilogy’, ‘The Last Samurai’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings Trilogy’, Bob is no stranger to production on an epic scale. Having a strong command of fantasy, period and sci fi genres, he is always looking for fresh approaches to create new unique worlds or undertaking extensive research to create museum worthy period pieces.

 

Independent features such as ‘Savage’, ‘Krampus’ and ‘Z for Zachariah’ allow Bob a more hands on approach with lateral thinking, up-cycling and multitasking play an important part in realizing scripts on a smaller budget.

 

Bob’s most recent project was ‘Time Bandits’, a 10 Episode TV series with Paramount and Apple. Jumping through 25 different time zones in a fast turn-around format ‘Time Bandits’ was a definite challenge but an exhilarating and fulfilling rollercoaster ride.

 

Born in Kent, Bob has dual UK/NZ citizenship and is available for work throughout the world.
