      If I recall correctly, she worked with Ian Laspina (Knyght Errant, he has a youtube channel that is good) to actually figure out how historical armor looked/worked to inform her own designs. That's why it both looks good and actually moves correctly, it's based on stuff people had to wear in life-or-death combat.

  • @laptech8272
    @laptech8272 4 роки тому

    The thing that impresses me the most about Adam doing these interviews and the praises he gives the designers/makers of the costumes is that unlike many of the makers of cosplay who are either enthusiasts and/or hobbyists who have some design/artistry background, Adam is a industry professional who has worked on many Hollywood movies in the design and manufacture of model making, props design and build and costume build. So when he praises a cosplayer for their design and effort, this is not just some long time hobbyist/enthusiast giving them praise, it is a seasoned professional from the movie industry, something you rarely see today because many in the industry are either too busy to give you their time or are just not interested. Adam goes out of his way to make time, which is very note worthy.
