The Orville[]
Porro described his work methodology: "The way to do it is the way you approach a period show, but you ask, ‘What’s the planet? What’s the planet surface like? What is this alien culture like?’ It’s nonstop sketches.'"[2]
He finds more unusual costumes easier to design, while the Planetary Union's uniforms are very difficult and subject to constant revisions between seasons.[3]
For Union uniforms, Porro recalled: "I came in saying, 'If I was 14 years old, what would be the coolest uniforms I could wear?' I was doing lots of unusual cuts that no one's ever seen before and [MacFarlane] had to talk me back into a much more simpler design."[4]
Trivia[]
- Both he and makeup artist Howard Berger got their first job on the same show: Neon Maniacs.[3]
