Costume Mascots 2
Well acted out, and a nice costume, I might say. Notice the fake fur has a tencdency to overlap and blend in with itself. Almost seamless.
As to dressing, He did this correctly….from the bottom up.
On the costume, I saw the same engineering flaw in the head design that I saw with a costume head in an earlier video. Engineering plays a major part in the design of these costumes. There must be adequate visibility and adequate ventilation.
For instance, some designers set the eyes so as to see straight ahead, and unless there is an offsetting opening in the mouth (so as to look downwards), the character will be percieved as looking downward or the wearer is looking to take a tumble. Instructions need to be included as to how to walk, talk and play the part. A mis-step on a staircase because of the oversized shoes/feet might cause a trip (literally and figuratively) to the local ER.
The head must be secure so as to not fall off, and the wearer must feel secure that it won’t fall off; otherwise he’ll be playing to the costume and not to his audience.
