Cosplay Video Shoot

Unbelievably, I received the invite last night at 12am. Quite a lot of my costume was already ruined and obviously, there wasn't time to remake or even patch them. But since Kazuki ensured me that it was fine as long as it's still pretty obvious that I'm cosplaying, it's acceptable.

There were supposed to be 6 people, but in the end, only 4 turned up. Kazuki, Sumire, Michelle and me. We waited for the other 2 to arrive but they ditched us! So, 4 of us had to be the cast and crew. And since we did at Equator School of Arts, we also "forced" some of the receptionists and staff to be the background characters.

As for the place we borrowed, Michelle had earlier obtained permission to use one of the rooms. It was pretty spacious and it was soundproof. All the noise we made inside wasn't even audible from the outside and vice versa.

The video camera we used wasn't professional quality but it was still HD and pretty high-end. The recordings were beautiful. Detailed facial features, clear voice recording, quick button reaction etc. It's a darn shame we made something very worthy of the title "EPIC PHAIL x 20".

The video was bad. Bloopers were funny, but in every way, it was humiliating to every otaku and cosplayer out there. Angry mobs would be chasing us out of the solar system if they ever saw that video.

But it was fun. I enjoyed the time we had, even though what we produced was "ughblarghgabahharvecrustchstorgleflorgenshtivelrespah..."

I didn't get any pics though, because I didn't bring a camera. It was unfortunate that Migryl and Tsukino came down with a high fever (confirmed not H1N1), so they couldn't join us. And since it was pretty last minute, I couldn't get anyone else, not even Wei Yun.

I'm hoping to meet them again. Well then, family dinner calls.
