Hello,
I've decided to quite possibly be the first dumb@ss in history to make a valiant attempt as cosplaying as Dylan Walsh's character from the 1995 "blockbuster", Congo. I'm going to my local con in early Jan as his character, Primatologist Dr. Peter Elliot, with "Amy" the signing gorilla on my back.
I've already procured a 'near' lifesize gorilla plush and now am looking to create the VR glove she wears. I'm hiring someone to make (sew me) the glove but will need to add all the little wires and 'circuit/gizmo' things to it --- which I have no idea on how to go about finding.
Going by the pictures, does anyone have any recommendations/suggestions on what cheap electronics I could go to Goodwill and purchase to cannibalize? Or are there other methods/avenues you'd recommend seeking?
I'd also LOVE to be able to figure a way to have the ability to play sound clips of her talking glove: "Amy, good gorilla", "Amy, want green drop drink", etc from the movie. I am a complete n00b when it comes to such stuff though. :-\
Any ideas or suggestions on how to get the audio clips from the film and be able to save/play them on a device masked in the gorilla's backpack,etc?
Thanks in advance for any and all help,
Michael
