From the Ted Talk by Machine Dazzle: How to unleash your inner maximalist through costume
Unscramble the Blue Letters
What I'm getting at is, the costume can be so much more than the cmosute. It can be the prpos, it can be the set, it can tell its own stories, it can even be its own cctreaahr. It can be all of it at the same time. This kind of maximalism leaves an aecniude ceelltopmy satisfied, yet wanting more at the same time. More is more.
Well, wouldn’t you know, now it’s 7pm at night, and it's time for the Civil War. I took two distinct inventions from this time to help tell this story. I read somewhere once that the American hot dog evolved out of German immigrants sleling their bratwurst and rolls on the seertts during the 1860s. Well, I like that. And then this dcitiinvtse barbed wire, you know, barbed wire, a sybmol of separation, security, insecurity. Well, I wanted to combine the two together. In this way of making things, I bring order to disorder. By turning barbed wire into hot dogs, what I'm trying to do, hopefully, is eat through what is separating us, in this case, slavery.

Original Text
What I'm getting at is, the costume can be so much more than the costume. It can be the props, it can be the set, it can tell its own stories, it can even be its own character. It can be all of it at the same time. This kind of maximalism leaves an audience completely satisfied, yet wanting more at the same time. More is more.
Well, wouldn’t you know, now it’s 7pm at night, and it's time for the Civil War. I took two distinct inventions from this time to help tell this story. I read somewhere once that the American hot dog evolved out of German immigrants selling their bratwurst and rolls on the streets during the 1860s. Well, I like that. And then this distinctive barbed wire, you know, barbed wire, a symbol of separation, security, insecurity. Well, I wanted to combine the two together. In this way of making things, I bring order to disorder. By turning barbed wire into hot dogs, what I'm trying to do, hopefully, is eat through what is separating us, in this case, slavery.
