Hey there, I was at this event both days and it was a lot of fun! Just a heads up it's considered impolite to record cosplayers like this without their consent and is actually outlined in the convention's anti-harassment policy. Next time you want to record a cosplayer please don't just call out at them and shove the camera in their face - you should ask if they are okay being recorded and in a video that will be made public. As a cosplayer, I know this type of thing makes us very uncomfortable and you could probably see that the people you were calling out to didn't look very happy, and this is why. If you just ask we are almost always going to say yes but do respect our right to say no if we feel exhausted or not comfortable. It's okay if you didn't know this, just for next time know that cosplay does not equal consent. The vlogging aspect is fine just showing around the convention, however, if you are going to zoom in on cosplayers or try get them to look at your camera, you should always ask first. Hope this helps and thank you for your understanding!😄
Thanks for the feedback, I didn’t know this; however my aim was to spread awareness of this awesome event, not to be disrespectful.. I’ll heed your advice for next time, cheers, Sam.
