We're JUST back from Silicon, a convention in San Jose! Adam will open this live stream to talk about his experience at the con, then take member questions about cosplay!

00:00 Introduction
06:13 When it comes to being nervous of getting into cosplay and walking around a con what would you say to help ease the trepidation?
09:38 How do you convincingly cosplay the idea of "negative space" on a character with distinctively thin, non-human body proportions?
13:10 How does your approach when planning a prop change when designing for cosplay vs for a movie or display piece?
15:45 Which costume at Silicon this year simply blew you away?
18:03 What keeps you driven to make new cosplay costumes?
20:56 Have you ever broke somebody’s costume by accident?
21:03 When walking the floor, do you stay in character the entire time or until the first person recognizes you?
22:25 How would you advise someone who doesn’t have a slim body size and who wants to cosplay? Am I relegated to larger characters?
28:00 It’s hard finding stuff for costumes- where are your favorite places to look for pieces that you’re not making?
31:35 Do you think storytelling is necessarily an important piece of cosplay?
34:25 Where can one wear a cosplay other than a con?
39:30 Do cosplayers usually want to be who they cosplay?
42:12 Of the cosplays that you’ve done, which one required the most character study and acting?
44:45 In your cosplay over the years, what is the one thing you learned you that you wished you had known earlier?
46:27 How do I go about making the tail of the cloak stiff enough so it can stick out in a dark priest costume?
49:49 Do you have any tips for sewing cosplay, especially easy mistakes to avoid?
53:51 Is there a cosplay you want to build but have not been able to do to either amount of time to complete it or complex nature of the build that has made it too daunting?
55:30 Could you show some of the gear you would bring with you to a con in case of any damage or repairs you might have to make to your costume?
