And then I wrote up some rough questions which will be adapted depending on the person I send them to:

Potential Questions:

-What brought you into this field of Costumes?
-What/ is your greatest artistic influence and/or in inspiration?
-What is the favourite part of your occupation?
-What has your favourite project been so far and why?
-What has your most challenging project been so far and why?

-How does working on a low budget film compare to working on a low budget flm?
-How does the genre of a film influence the costume design/illustration?
-What would you say are the most important skills for a costume designer/illustrator?
-As a Costume Illustrator, how much artistic freedom do you have? Do you have to follow strict instructions from the Costume Designer or is there room for interpretation and negotiation?

If applicable:
-What are the main differences between working for film and television?
-What are the main differences between working for film and advertising?
-What does working on a historical project compare to working on a non-hostorical project?
-Do you feel that costume design is threatened by the digital world? Would you like to be more involved in designing for digital costumes or not?

+ other questions on specific projects depending on responses to initial emails
  
I plan sending an introduction email first as I think it rude to immediately send the questions.  Also the questions need to be tailored to each artist so I'm not going to waste my time doing that first if only half reply for example.

I've sent to three so far, will soon get round to the others.
