The film-costume designer.
A costume designer, just like the brush directed by a painter on canvas, in the medium of films the director guides the brush, adds colors, texture, pigments, to the canvas of the director's film, thus becoming the means of expression and visual communication of the ideas of the director.
Having said that, a costume designer is also nearly a painter, in the humble sense that the costume designers also create the characters visual representation on screen and further balances the scenes with the correct texture and color never ever losing sight of their characteristics, their cultural or ethnic background, and so many other factors, and the narrative; which is also what a painter does.
So, without sounding pompous about our contribution to the visual expression and not taking away even an iota of credit from the director or the painter, the lines do often blur between the brush and the painter when a good costume director is the brush on a canvas.

Engaging!!
Review by #PriyaaSindher
5 stars. (@ Amazon.in and @ Goodreads.com)
It took me just about 3 days to finish reading this entire book. I never felt like putting it down. I am a complete Hindi Movie buff and for me it was a pleasure to read the kind of effort that goes in to make a movie.
Despite being the primary transcriber for this book and despite knowing everything way before anyone else did, I was still hooked on to it. I simply love the way the content has been presented in the book. I never felt disinterested or bored as the content was so gripping. The Q&A format did the trick!
#RakeshAnandBakshi, #DirectorsDiaries is one of its kind and I feel it’s not only helpful for aspiring film directors but people from other fields as well. At the end of the day it’s about lots of hard work, passion and keeping your dreams alive. This book is inspirational in its own way.
Thank you for such a wonderful book as it only makes a typical movie buff like me fall in love with Cinema and its story tellers even more.
