Category: Movie
|
| Completed: 90 % |
Cosplay group: none |
First worn at: TAGCOM '09 |
Inspiration: Three things:
1. The theme of the movie, which involves eliminating human emotions (through daily doses of a certain drug) just for the sake of preventing conflicts that will lead to wars.
2. The main character John Preston being a calm, cool and emotionless law enforcer. He changed, for the better.
3. The gun martial art in the movie (Gun Kata): So Improbable, yet it's Awesome. I am especially awed at the devices hidden beneath his sleeves that gives him his gun and reloads his cartridges. (Too bad I wasn't able to incorporate those)
|
Favorite aspect: Everything! To mention a few:
1. Recreating and painting the cleric guns from toy guns, with the help of my father of course. I learned how to effectively use spray paint because of it.
2. Wearing an all-white get-up makes me look either like a nursing student or an already dead person who came back from heaven. LOL
3. I was glad about the Gun Kata moves that I was able to perform in the catwalk, even though it was not that perfect.
|
Hardest task/aspect: A lot of things, namely:
1. Doing the Gun Kata moves: Thinking up of moves on-the-spot is harder than expected. Everything's should be choreographed first.
2. Maintaining the emotionless "poker" face: I managed to do this, and yet messing up after a while because of the LOLs.
3. Keeping the costume white and clean: My whole body (save the head) is so colored white, I need to guard it from certain foreign objects and possibly people that may tarnish it.
and did I mention...
4. Undergoing careful security check everytime I open my bag to reveal the guns? From LRT2 to LRT1 then to RP Manila... troublesome but still funny.
