Dude, can we appreciate the interviewer's questions? Every question was literally on my mind and he got me the answers, so massive appreciation for a proper selection of questions!
Was thinking the exact same thing. So many times I watch interviews and the questions feel irrelevant or poorly informed. These questions were right on the money and enhanced the video endlessly.
@@MOUNTA1N it's not hard as it seems once you try, maybe measuring the parts for your head is the most "eeh..." part, but nothing that can't be solved with some aluminum wire (so you have a base shape you can work with) So, go for it!!! :)
you know it! I just posted a helmet tutorial that combines techniques from Awe Me's DIY Prop Shop and Evil Ted! And there's another helmet tutorial that I'm hoping to have finished by Sunday
+William Jakespeare hey Jake it's me again love your work!!!!!!! awesome and thanks for posting that photo on Facebook for the star wars ray helmet. my cousin is going to a cosplay convention in Sweden. and he wanted to play as a male version as ray with the helmet. so thanks for that. your awesome!!!!!
Yeah def, its an industrial adhesive so it has to be really strong and barge, since its contact cement its really easy to apply and allows to make more curving pieces unlike glues like e-6000.
The magic ingredient that makes Barge work so well, is its highly toxic toluene solvent. So wear a mask as you would if you were handling resin. This solvent has been mostly phased out in the EU because of safety issues. Too bad the substitutes are not as efficient. I just wish I was able to get some in Europe : those glue cans cannot be airmailed because of aircraft regulations :(
evil ted is absolutely my favorite person in the cosplay community. he frequents cosplay twitch streams just to pop in and see what your working on and tell you youre awesome. he is always happy to offer cosplay Senpai wisdoms if you ask him. just a genuinely good dude.
I love watching how Evil Ted makes his armour pieces. so glad I subscribed to his channel. Now we just need to put him and Adam in a room together and see what crazyness they can make! :)
The foam is called EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate). The specific density that most gym mats are made from is known as EVA 75 in metric (75kg per cubic metre). I'm not sure how that translates to imperial. I presume it would be something like EVA 150 (150 pounds per cubic yard).
Great video! What would be nice is that Norm would simultaneously build one of his own. Then you could see the result of a noob. Also you could adres some problems that wouldn't come to a pro's mind. And it would also be fun to watch!
I'm going to be cosplaying a character w a helmet soon and I can't find it online anywhere to purchase so I decided I'll make it. This is so helpful!! I'm excited to start working on it now I've never made my own cosplays
Funner Fact: When Wagner staged his “Der Ring des Nibelungen” opera cycle in the 1870s, costume designer Carl Emil Doepler created horned helmets for the Viking characters, and an enduring stereotype was born
I think I just figured out how I want to make my Rocketeer helmet. After that I can use Frank's rotocasting video to make it out of plastic! It's all coming together! Hopefully at some point 3F Studios can do a tutorial on making a leather coat to finish the outfit!
OMG i used his vids before to make my armor :D and i improved a lot because he is approaching things easily and in cheap way without all that worbla shit which is super expensieve... he is the true mvp
Yeah, you can say that.... I mean... someone here just call him "The Bob Ross of costume making".... THE BOB ROSS!! you know what's that?!.... like, if you were rape 'till almost dead by Hulk and Thanos at the same time.... Bob Ross would make you forget all about it by just singing twinkle twinkle little star while drawing little bushes were little happy rabbits live
At least he made it something that you could have access to. It's a fair price for a template like this, the foam itself that you work with costs more.
This is so amazing to watch. I would love to use this technique to make power rangers helmets for my son and daughters but I don't think i could do it safely. That glue seems to bond instantly and I tend to get glue on my fingers. I have glued myself to myself and other things a few times. Not a fun thing to undo. Luckily all the glue I have used has been removed with nail polish remover.
That was such an awesome video. Ive only just gottne into cosplay and trying to make my own armor. Ive yet to get the courage to do so to be honest but this really helped me :) thank you.
hey ted, wondering whether if gluing up the sides would be easier while pushing down on a flat smooth surface, instead of checking the flush surfaces with your thumb, i guess you would have to mark the registration notches on the opposite side for this to work. great stuff!!
Hi guys. I'm very interested in building my own pieces and wanted to try the glue you mentioned. You mentioned "BARGE CEMENT" and "DROP GLUE", correct? I want to make sure that I'm not using anything that will melt the foam sheets that I'm using and/or create toxic vapors. Thank you so much for any advice. Love the tips on your video!
I always find it amazing when I'm looking at them handling the props, and even though I know it's foam my eyes keep insisting that it's actually metal. That's how you know it looks good.
I mean this in the nicest way. There needs to be some editing on these videos, hit the main ideas of "how to" with supplies and instructions, and don't make me watch the dead air where nobody is talking. I liked the video where you talked over the mask being painted and it kept me interested because it trimmed the fat. Once again I apologize if this is mean but I like Tested and want to give feedback.
is there an optimal amount of cement I should be putting on pieces to have them adhere that quickly? I don't get results like that with barge for some reason...
hi guys, great job you guys do, i want to ask you if you are teaching how to make thor costume from infinity war with stormbreake plissss i want to learn make that suit for this hallowen thanks
Rafael Marin yeah this channel is not the one you would want to watch for something like this. It’s not really a traditional DIY channel and they don’t take recommendations. It’s usually like a movie studio or company hires them for a project and they just film some parts of it then explain the basic process of building process. For a Thor costume you should check out a guy named Xieng Prod on RU-vid. He’s really helpful and has a lot of tutorials for specific costumes.
