So I'm doing a sociology project on The Art Of Cosplay. It's an individual project on a topic of our choice so I chose cosplay and how amazing it is and whatnot and how large of a society gets influenced by anime and manga enough to cosplay and go to conventions and whatnot.

I'm making a movie about it showing pictures of really good cosplay and interviewing people about cosplay.

Questions such as:

Do you cosplay?
Why do you feel that cosplay is fun?
Who have you cosplayed as?
Do you go to a lot of conventions, and if so do you cosplay at them?
Do you feel that dressing up as your favourite anime character is childish? Why or why not?
Any other comments about cosplay you'd like to mention?

Etc etc;
Can anyone think of how I can get you guys on there somehow? Cause I know alot of you cosplay. (Especially jiz lulz).. Maybe if you guys could take a video of you talking about cosplay in an interview style and whatnot and send it to me that'd work really well! :D

If you guys can help me out with this, that'd be great. It's kind of a rush job btw so i'm hoping to have it done by this Saturday so the quicker you can think of something the better.

And if you guys just want to write the answers to those questions in this thread, I may choose some of them to quote during my video. OR you could upload a voice clip of you talking and i'll put it in my movie overtop of some pictures and whatnot. And i'll upload my video to youtube when it's finished.

Thanks guys!
PS: I'll close this when I'm done.

Could always have us upload vids to Youtube so then you could DL them

One of my friends directed me to http://keepvid.com/ for that stuff and then I used to use http://media-convert.com/ for conversion

lol I can do a voice clip or make a video if you want, depends on how camera shy I am LOL;; But uh..my friends and I got interviewed before for somebody's school project at a con too. My friend did all the talking though but whatever >w>;; here's the clip if you wanna see for ideas and stuff -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sJh4YawhaM

Aside from getting pics of cosplayers on cosplay.com or /cgl/ on 4chams, you can also go on cure for some delicious Asians D'8

You can put my band playing Everytime I Die in the background, and then play my audio clip 8D

As for answers to the questions:
Do you cosplay? Yes
Why do you feel that cosplay is fun? I just do. No particular reason.
Who have you cosplayed as? Only a phailed Ishida so far. I'm going to attempt something else.
Do you go to a lot of conventions, and if so do you cosplay at them? I've only been to one so far. And I cosplayed at that one, for one day.
Do you feel that dressing up as your favourite anime character is childish? Why or why not? No. It just shows how much you like it. It's the same for people who dress up following the fashion of idols. You could also argue that doing that may also be childish. Similar argument, really.
Any other comments about cosplay you'd like to mention? Cosplay makes me hungry.

Thanks, Jiz! That video helped me a lot :) it's exactly what I had in mind. I like her definition of cosplay as well.. I had been trying to think of a good definition lol.

I was most likely going to read + modify wikipedia's definition, because it's very elaborate.

And Jiz, I know its kind of a rush job but would you be able to make a quick little video, maybe like 2 minutes long of you just showing off some of your costumes, and if you could be dressed in one of them and introduce yourself as one of the characters and say that you love cosplay and why, that would be amazing.. and then if you could put it on like megaupload or somewhere i can download it and use it in my moviemaker for my movie that'd be amazing

I'm uploading my movie to youtube after so you can see the end result.

Thanks :D


And if anyone wants to make an audio clip of them explaining why they like cosplay and why it's amazing(but take it seriously okay?.. im showing this in a serious manner) then upload it and put the link in here that'd be great thanks guise
