That headpiece was insane, lifted it myself a few times, I was sooo happy I was on back up and not wearing that thing! But it paid off man, you made alot of people very happy and very excited that day. I’m still stunned looking at that mask. Frigging amazing work, you should turn pro.
 
Hey guys, I was thinking.
One thing we do not have here on the Lair is a thread that goes into detail about what to expect when you decide to enter a costume contest or convention in a pred suit. The thread could be called "The Pred-Costumer's Convention and Contest Companion."
In it, our suited-up veterans who have attended Halloween contests and conventions such as SDCC 08 can go into detail about what you need to do, and what you can expect as an attendee of said venues. Everything from scheduling hotels to having support staff with velcro and tape to deal with those unexpected rips and dings. I think information of that sort available at any time as a sticky thread in one of the sections would be invaluable. This forum has a lot of emphasis on building pred suits, but not about how to participate in events in one.
Sound good?
 
Im down. I voluteer to get it started but, wont be able to till tomorrow. Headin out for the night and not coming home till tomorrow. If anyone else wants to get it started tonight feel free. If not I will be more than happy to do it tommorrow afternoon/evening.
 
Very good idea Carl. I was just thinking about that particular subject because Gen Con will be here in Indy next weekend and I want to enter the costume contest. Very good idea
 
:p Thats a perfect idea Carl......something I was thinking about doing last year watching gene and art go through the con. I will help any way possible.
 
Good idea Carl!!!! i have entered a lot of costume contest and attend quite a few cons myself. I am gonna wait for Scott to start. It will be a good idea to post pictures along ,so ppl get a better understanding on what to expect. Willing to help anyway i can. Cesar.
 
Carl, Scott, Depredador

I wholeheartedly agree, a thread on "How to Survive (insert name of huge event here)" will be a goldmine!!!!

Scott,

That picture is priceless..... there should be a "Caption This Picture" section someplace on this forum :roflol:

Greyback,

Photoshop the mask & bio back on him and put a caption where he's saying "this chair is TAKEN"
or "I'M the Hunt Leader, I will sit WHERE I want, WHEN I want!"

Awesome.
Can't wait to see the new thread today. Should it be started in the "Huntorials and Help" section?
Faken, can you "stickify" it?
 
just wanted to say how cool you all looked and what an inspiration you are to get my suit finished ( well apart from the sweaty pred feet ) the group shoot in front of the banner was well good i salute you :p
 
The first part of the ‘full coverage’ of our SDCC adventure is now available for viewing.
It focuses on Pdisc, Bovine, Hdogg and Ei’luj and includes everything from suiting up until we make it to lobby C at the convention centre.

The previous clip -Predator Invasion- was made to impress, this one however, shows a different side of the whole experience and gives an accurate representation of what it was really like walking around that day.
The footage is not tweaked but comes straight from the camera. Certain parts are funny (that girl in the elevator didn’t know what hit her when these guys entered) but also some bits tend to drag on. But yeah, it’s the full version so you get the boring bits as well.
I’ve added subtitles to some scenes, most are random comments people shouted who we passed by -yeah, spelling mistakes are there, sorry for that…

This is only the first part, more episodes will follow in the next weeks.
Hope you enjoy watching, a youtube version will be made available soon!

Hey David BORING PARTS? Did not see a bit of that...i guess a miss it. can't wait for the rest.!!!!!
Thanks for doing all that for us. You are the man!!!!
Cesar.
 
Greyback, the dialogue in the lift was priceless.....

Ei'luj: "I only come up to your chin"
Hunt Leader Bovine13 -"guess you're Machiko"

Lady: "I won't touch that ring...."

Not boring at all!!!
