Cosplay Spectacular 2008 [FINAL LIST POSTED] [LOCKED]

[PinkHairSasuke]

can u cosplay as game characters? like in example someone from grand theft auto? and would u be allowed in the masquerade with that costume

[Rukia-Hitachiin]

I have two questions...

1) If the person who made our costumes will be present at Fanime, but not in our skit, can we still perform? Or do you need to just meet the seamstress in a pre-judging time?

2) When will the masquerade begin? I heard taht you need to sign up Sunday morning by 10AM and that there is an optional rehearsal at 4PM. Is this true?

[Mister_E]

This might of been asked many a time but, Since my costume is home made Like my pants are from a thrift store, my jacket from ebay, and my mask was hand made with stuff from a dollar store, a copyplace (the logo) and the strap came from a hardware store. I can enter with no worry and I'll be performing alone form a like a little over a minute...

You can join the masq as a walk-on then you only really need music if you want a judging and a prize but not that i know of

[luckyends]

alrighty so i read yaknow you can do special preformances like on stage zero one of the things i realy want to do is play a flute from a character that probably would. i know this one might seem kinda odd but i think its realy cool. that would not be masquerade worthy but what is the deal with the special preformances i read about on stage zero how do you get into those or just look into them
(and just to letya guys know it wouldnt be a metal flute it would either be a bamboo one or a cedar one depending on which i remember to bring but it will be one or the other)

[G-Force]

I sent you a few PMs concerning the special performance slot as I don't think it would be appropriate to put them in this thread. I hope to hear your reply soon and I'm sorry for spamming the board.

[ovtrlan]

How many people can we have on stage at once? I think I may try to do a dance skit with me as Demyx and a whole bunch of dancer minions.

[Rukia-Hitachiin]

12 people maximum.

[Mister_E]

Now the sign-up date is may right? Just want to be sure!

opens in April.

[Mister_E]

Oh that's right, gives me time to write my skit, also what kind of Microphones do you get, a head seat or them little clip on ones?

[Rukia-Hitachiin]

I'd like to know that too... probably hand held ones unless you have a pre-recorded skit ^_^

[Mister_E]

If hand held does it have a stand?

[Nina Star 9]

There are mics with stands, if you are to be singing or something of the like.

For a skirt, it seems to be strangly encouraged to pre-record the vocals. Last year there was an area where you could record the vocals if needed, not sure if that will be provided this year or not.





Not only have I not even started my costume, but I have no idea what to do for a skit this year. I don't want to sing again, I can't really do a skit by myself and with my costume, and walk-ons are strongly discouraged, so my prospects are rather bleak. ._. If there is no real way to have a skit or something else, are walk-ons allowed?

[Mister_E]

I hope I can record my skit there, I don't have any really good recording device here.

[bubydub]

Is it ok to enter in a costume that has already won a prize at a con in the bay area? (not previous fanimes)

[Kandybar]

Is the Masquerade definitely on Sunday?  I've seen conflicting information in various other official-looking threads that puts it on Saturday.

[Tony]

The masquerade has been moved to Saturday.

[Nina Star 9]

How will the judging work, then? We loose a day for that, and not everyone is there Fridays anyway due to school and work, so will the judging just be pushed through as quickly as possible on the two days, or what?
