Forbidden Fruit Tastes The Sweetest (Twilight Cosplay)

Posted by sab | Filed under Cosplay, Finished Images, Movie Review, Photography

A couple of Fridays ago, me Aly, Christine and Melia went to see Twilight in cinema. The whole thing was very entertaining. Highlights include the overwhelming number of uncomfortable close ups, overused 360 degree panning camera, myspace glitter text effect applied to the skin, flying scenes that were reminiscent of martial arts series’ set in ancient china, seeing Kristen Stewart’s confused expression in almost every scene, awkward dialogue, inconsistencies and amusing editing techniques. I did enjoy some of the cinematography, lighting and set construction in the film (fairy lights in the background are so pretty), I love Kristen Stewart as Bella and was pleasantly surprised to discover that Robert Pattinson (as Edward Cullen) looked more attractive as a vampire.

What really set the atmosphere of amusement was hearing the squeals of pre-teen girls coming from the back of the cinema when Robert Pattinson (playing the part of Edward Cullen) came on screen. Sadly, noone showed Taylor Lautner (as Jacob Black) any love, but it wasn’t a huge surprise given the dorky hair extensions they put on him, proving that long hair just doesn’t suit some guys. Apparently, he’s getting replaced for the next movie.

Anyway, I digress. Last Saturday we got together again to do a Twilight cosplay in honour of the hilarity of the film. We had a lot of laughs. The photographs turned out way better than expected and now we’re not sure whether or not we are genuine fans of the franchise…

I wasn’t involved in makeup, putting costumes and wigs together - these guys are amazing and put it together themselves :) Shoot direction was a joint effort between all of us.

Cosplay Photoshoot: Epic Win

Posted by sab | Filed under Cosplay, Photography

When we got to our location, immediately I could feel the eyes on us; the staring had begun. People were standing stock still, frozen in time, with their mouths almost agape as if they had been caught in a spell. Cars drove by at a crawl in the car park. The more adventurous crept closer to have a better look, some with cameras, poorly hidden behind bushes to avoid attracting our attention. A young girl and her sister edged past us, kept a constant distance of about 2 metres, during which they watched us intently. It was quite surreal.
