Hello everyone, my name is Lionel Vogt and I have a small costume effects shop I started 4 years ago called Lion of the sun costuming. I am Now moving into my 5th year and heard about this group through some friends of mine.
I am doing some low budget film projects now , and did some pieces for the movie "hollywood and wine". Again just a little startup thing. I began as a mechanical engineer to one day discovering I had the capacity for art (shocked the ***** out of me) . I have done things like built robots for the show Battlebots. and have extensive background with RC gear/ I have written my own basic stamp stuff. so feel free to pick my brain if you wish. I know my way around Mill/lathe and CNC. I also just finished building my own 3ftX3ft Vac U Form machine.
Most of my recent work is recreation of animal form and costumes. I have taken to sensory augmentation. As in night vision and amplified hearing systems for my masks. And I will be posting a fully functioning Stormtrooper costume with night vision, gun camera, full 2 way digital audio/video feeds. and full cooling system on my website.
So , Hello everyone. here is a link to my website. A link to an instructables I did on a lion I worked on. and the You Tube Videos. I know its not nearly "hollywood level " yet. But i am just starting out. And would love to hear from you all. And I am more than happy to share my knowledge if you are.
