Video Of My Suit In Action... News Coverage Of Fanboyexpo

[wonko]

Just thought I would share a quick video of my suit in action.  The quality isn't the best, and my wife isn't the best videographer in the world, but you can at least get the idea.

Suit fits you very well Brian, movement appear flawless and your accessories look top notch!

Again kudos on a well put together work of art, you should feel very proud.

 

[wonko]

Thank's Steve, you're too kind.  I forgot to mention, there's only 2 sounds looping on the video as a test.  I now have it loaded up and will have sound running randomly all day.

This made me smile.  Steve hit the nail on the head.  Good stuff Brian.

 

[Usurper]

Awesome, you look great, looking forward to meeting you at DragonCon Brian.

Also the sounds made me decide I need something similar for JudgePredd, damn you ...more work.


again you look awesome.  
 

 

[wonko]

Glad it brought a smile to your face Tom, and thanks.  I always have so much fun when suited.  For some reason though, the kids always run away from me, and my daughter doesn't even like to get close enough for a pic lol.  At right about 40 seconds (when I'm chasing Connor around the tree) I extend the blades... it's too bad my back is turned.  Hopefully I'll get some more video this weekend at Fanboyexpo.

Thanks Lee.  I'm looking forward to meeting you as well (even though you're gonna make me look that much shorter lol).  I'm actually looking forward to it now that I know the suit has met the approval of some of the members here I respect the most!

Brian

P.S.  Do you have time to be reading stuff here?  Especially now that you need some sound!

Thanks Colm.  My main goal was to keep everything in proportion and still look like the real deal.  I'm happy with it for my first costume!

that is freakin sweet! If the kids are running away from you even though they know you, you know you did a good job haha. thanks for the motivation

Yeah, the kids kinda loose it when I'm suited up lol.  Thanks for the encouragement, and I'm flattered that it inspires you.  

Brilliant Brian..what do the neighbours think..are the curtains twitching..lol

Sean, my neighbors gave up on mr looooong ago LOL  .  It's fun to see the cars drive by and slow way down to see what's going on.  Soon you'll have one of your own buddy!

cool video man it looks awesome . just work on your stealth i noticed that kid snuck up on you !!!! LOL

Ah yeah, the wife is still buggin me about my camouflage, or lack-there-of  .  I do need to work on the moves, but I was really just kinda screwin around, and didn't even know the wife was recording.  Thanks for compliment, means allot coming from 'The Priest'!

Very, very cool Brian! Thanks for sharing the video. I really enjoy seeing you moving around in it even if it is just chasing the kids through the yard. Looks like Connor felt his sword was no match for you. Ha! Happy hunting at the con this weekend! 

Steve

 

[Impactor]

Proportions are soo spot on. You look dangerous man!
And the sound is that from you? I gotta talk to you about how you went about that! So awesome!

Thanks Steve.  I don't know about the sword Steve, it is a diamond minecraft sword lol.  He just knows I quicker than him  ~!

Proportions were the number one thing I kept in mind throughout the entire build, so hearing all you guys comment on that helps me believe that I accomplished it!  I appreciate the kind words Gabe, and would be happy to share how I did the sound.  I will say however that it's not me making the sounds, and it's so simple (the way I did it) it's crazy!

Adding some video of my finished bomb gauntlet as well.  All the details can be found in my WIP suit thread.

Haha, I know its not you yourself man! I'm talking about it coming from your suit.
Would be hilarious if you were stuck in the suit just pred purring away! lol

 

[wonko]

Yeah, it does come from the suit.  I have 2 speakers in it that are connected to an MP3 player that just loops some custom sounds I mashed up.  I don't have any controll over which one plays when, it just happens.
