It's about time I think about how the characters are going to look in the movie. Luckily I'm not starting from scratch as I've always had an idea since the beginning.
The easiest characters to design are the guards that help the main antagonists. They'll just be in black shirts and pants, maybe sunglasses but since we're shooting at night I don't want to impair their vision.
Second is the hunchback assistant Bartholomew. He basically is going to wear what Igor from Young Frankenstein wears.

I even have a cloak from when I went as the grim reaper on Halloween that works perfectly for what he wears.
The hardest costume would be The Doctor who is the main villain and focus of the two minutes. He is based off both Dr. Frankenstein and the Invisible Man, wearing a science coat and being wrapped in bandages. Aside from is pants which are black, his mainly white costume will set him apart from the other three visually and convey to the audience his importance.

The reason for the bandages is to add mystery to The Doctor as he is the only one who doesn't show his face. Why is he wearing them? What is he hiding? Hypothetically this would be answered at the end of the story, but for now the audience is left to ponder.
