When asked about his impressions of Studio Tour Tokyo, which has celebrated its first anniversary, he commented, “It’s a great honor to be involved in such a wonderful project like Studio Tour Tokyo.” Next, when asked about the costumes on display at Studio Tour Tokyo that particularly caught his attention, he replied, “It’s
Dumbledore’s costume. One of the great attractions of this tour is that you can see the trees up close rather than through a glass. I’m also very impressed by the ingenuity and effort put into the costumes everyone is wearing today. ” I answered. Regarding the most memorable episode while working on the “Harry Potter” movie series, he said, “For example, in the movie “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”, there was a scene where Aunt Marge keeps getting bigger and bigger. , even for scenes that would be produced using visual effects today, we prepared costumes in a variety of sizes to match the actual size of the actors as they swelled up, and we actually shot the actors in them. In this way, one of the attractive points of the Harry Potter movie series is that they are made with a focus on live-action filming. ” he answered, including an episode from the shooting at that time. Furthermore, in the fan question corner, when asked, “Which costume was the most difficult to create?”, the answer was “The underwater scene in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was the most difficult. The color becomes darker when it gets wet with water, so we took this into account while creating the product through trial and error.” The fans listened intently to Mr. Laurent’s story.
