COSPLAY HEROES UNMASKED - PART 1 of 3 (8 Mins) [HQ]

Much thanks to maria for pimping. Here’s a documentary styled video produced by ANIMAX and filmed on AFA 2009. This clip features everyone’s favorite Cloud; Kaname.  Kinda funny to see Tashigi in the still above xD. Anyway, enjoy !!!EDIT: HOMG LAH, Kaname is SO Generous. He actually allowed the camera crew (and essentially the whole world) see his whole make up process plus letting everyone in on his little intimate cosplay secrets (padding) ??!!! I would never have the guts to do that !Would you allow a camera crew to film you before you are rea...

The Game Xpo 2010: Day 2, Photo Pimp 1

Many many apologies again for falling behind so desperately! Life has been straining  so pardon the slowness in updates. This entry showcases cosplay photos from TGX day 2. I wasn’t cosplaying that day and arrived very little (as usual) and didn’t managed to take as much photos as I used to. But I did have an experience of a lifetime, literally, in a not-so-pleasant sense. Let’s talk as I pimp photos. The first person I saw and took photo of was….. can you guess who is this?When I first arrived, one of the first few familiar faces I saw was Sakurazaki (or was it Ashz?? pardon my STM). Who then led me to where Lenneth and her group were having their private shoot, somewhere off the corridors of the event hall. And so I hung around...

Serialization of Akatsuki interviews continues

The second part of Akatsuki interviews has been uploaded to our Youtube account!The filming took little longer compared to the first part. This time we had some action going on, which took numerous takes, some fooling and few snaps. We had some problems with outsiders, dogs and people in this case. We had to wait few times them to stop blabbing and barking under our window. We even made an little song about them in the brink of a moment. It went something like “It’s almost impossible to film when there are people talking loudly”-etc. We also had some problems with lighting also known as the sun. Because it was a cloudy day, not continuous shine all the time, the shots look rather dark. Some takes were not usable, so there are some small errors with few lines.We filmed some extra material labeled...

Sasori and Deidara gets interviewed again!

My eyes are heavy from all the make-up I require to make a decent Deidara. It might be that some of the weight is caused by crashing Movie Maker and the fact that I wasn't at my best today because of yesterday. But still, even if I was bit tired we had a productive day. We managed to shoot some material from Sasori and Deidara. Thus the second part of our Akatsuki interviews will be out tomorrow! We would have loved to finish and upload it today, but all-nighter didn't sound appealing for either of us.We took few pictures so I can at least share something. Until tomorrow th...

Costume Interview: JiaGold Bustamante (Xenosaga)

Finally this is out! I’ve actually finished editing this video slightly before I finished editing Gin’s Bad Apple video. But I held off publishing it so as not to clash with the other event reports and partly also because i forgot to upload + was too lazy. Photo credit: OakulturaBut anyway, it is finally here!! My costume interview with the very beautiful Kos-Mos cosplayer from Philippine who was also one of the winner of the “Asia Cosplay Meet” along with Frankie at Cosfest 2010. Jia Gold’s winning performance at Cosfest 2010.I only met her at the dome after the sun had went down. As the dome was really dark by then, it further illuminated(pun intended)  her LED lights clad costume.   Photo credit: The dot HackerWith evilneo’s...

Really, I'm just being precautious

So...I think I need to open my Do not-post a bit from the "topical" part. Few weeks ago we kind of chose pair of characters to be done after Snowtroopers and before fabric sparing costumes. And I kind of had seen earlier some perfect materials on our local fabric stores. I obviously purchased them. Have I mentioned that I love autumn? It always inspires me and I feel more energetic and creative than in any other time of the year. So what could be better way to spend chilly evenings than to draw patterns, dye fabrics or sew?I have stated many times to Yoki that we first finish the Snowtroopers and concentrate the Jedi duo after them, but now I find myself breaking that promise. Actually I think that I have nagged about the previous trying to...

Do not- From common to more topical

Do not think you can get away from reading instructions from body paints, spray paints, glues or pretty much anything. The time you read them doesn’t compare to the time you need to use to correct your mistakes after messing up.Do not leave the make-up testing for the morning of the convention. Especially is you haven’t read the instructions.Do not assume that you have the right sides of the fabrics facing each other before you start sewing them together. Check it and presumably double check it.Do not wear one size too small shoes for a convention a) if you haven’t broke them in b) known to have great amount of will power to bear pain. Do not assume that you have settings right on your camera before you start filming or taking pictures. Always check before long takes that you are actually...

The Game Xpo 2010: Day 1, Photo Pimp 2

Again, apologies for the delay. So much have been consuming me. Judging from my update rates I’m sure you guys will forgive me right xD *takes out bloody chopper* Anyway, more of photos and less of nonsense talk! Durarara! She had the vending machine and I requetsed for her to try carrying it. Which she very nicely obliged   but apparently…its really quite heavy =X   FWARHHHH~!! *Smashes vending machine* And then begun the scary omake photos…. Xiaobai as Luffy with her fishballs which look weirdly suitable.  Mitsuki as a character from Guuren Lagann with fishballs that didn’t really go with her XD. Notice the faces behind, thank you. Top Left: That would have been an awesomely cute pic if not for...
