Nov. 18th, 2006 04:38 pmOkay, y'all - small ethical dilemma.
I've been working on this show, technically as co-costume designer (not the costume job I am paid for - this is purely extracurricular); the other costume designer has been doing most of the costume accumulation, and my job was to make the one constructed piece, a floor-length blue gown for the villainess. So, I construct the gown, but the actress doesn't like the shape of it; she wants to see if she can purchase something different over Thanksgiving break. If she finds something she likes better, she'll use that instead.
I spent a fair amount of time on the gown, but, you know, pieces getting cut that you've spent a lot of time on is sort of something you deal with when you work in costumes. I'm just wondering: since the gown is pretty much all I did for the show, if it gets cut, is it appropriate to e-mail to ask that my name be taken off the program? The intent is to give full credit to the other costume designer, who deserves it, but I'm worried that it would come off more on the bitchy and bitter side, like "well, I don't want to be associated with your stupid show anyways!" Which is certainly not the intent.
And now for something completely different:
