mcgrewsadmin · May 5, 2026 ·

Salt Lake City’s roller derby craze exploded onto the scene in the late 2000’s, and the Death Dealers here show off their anime-ninja inspired costumes that we designed and made just for them.

Special thanks to team captain Jen Philion for getting this party rolling!

We had each team member choose her favorite necklines, sleeves and other details.

Wisest Wizard

mcgrewsadmin · November 20, 2025 ·

Stan McGrew here is the wisest wizard at McGrew Studios (or anywhere else). He and my amazing mother are largely to blame for all the crazy creations that have colonized my life. This is what happens when you have an arts-oriented kid and encourage them. Parents, beware.

The fabric in this costume is a fantastic knit called French Terry, from Design Company Fabrics SLC. It’s a fabric with terrific weight, drape, and most of all- texture. We’ve used it in numerous items, from Game of Thrones-style capes and gowns, to other medieval and period pieces, plus in this wizard costume you see here.

Our huge thanks to the great staff and friends at Family Tree for this awesome annual Halloween event!

Highland Cabinetry Commercial

mcgrewsadmin · July 30, 2024 ·

Nonstop laughter with Chamber Media producers, cast and crew during this shoot.
2024 Costume design inspired by Monty Python and the Holy Grail for this Highland Cabinetry commercial.

Very silly costume design here, created especially for this Highland Cabinetry commercial by Chamber Media.

Chain mail, safety vests, customized tabards and especially enjoy the 2 x 4s used to create the galloping horse sounds. Big shout out to production designer Dan Haskell for his clever set pieces, props and effects.

Shout out, too, to Tyler Brown, Danny Huntington and Mike Brown and their crew for the exciting catapult (or, rather, trebuchet) that they brought to set. Completely cool and fascinating.

We all laughed as we awaited their arrival on set, hearing that their giant historic machine on its enormous trailer got stuck on Interstate I-15, caught in rush hour traffic on the way down from Logan, UT. Just imagine being an average commuter and seeing that sort of thing next to you on the highway! Read more about them and their organization here.

Our shoot on location at Evermore in Pleasant Grove was possibly some of the last action that this theme park saw in its lifetime. Rest in peace, Evermore.

Do you like our Black Knight here? It was super fun creating this costume as well as his ‘stump’, then rigging the actor’s arm down and working with Dan, who not only engineered the blood pump but also built our Knight’s helmet on super short notice. The Black Knight’s severed arm squirts just like a Japanese warrior’s. I was killing time on Reddit once and crossed paths with this explanation for the copious amounts of blood typical in many Samurai and even contemporary Japanese films:). Hilarious. Betting that those funny Monty Python guys were very well versed in this genre.

As always, thank you Chamber Media, writer Matt Mattson and the entire cast (who are amazing at improv comedy) for making us all laugh so hard; something we all need more of in life!
