Cosplay Culture and Convention Etiquette: A Deep Dive

After considering this idea and working on it off and on for 2 years, this passion project is finally done. I have made a thorough long form video essay about Cosplay culture and convention etiquette. It covers con goer etiquette, cosplayer etiquette, how to get into cosplay, how to handle commissions, competition etiquette and some of the socio cultural elements of cosplay as well. I interviewed many cosplayers to get their perspective and insight as well. If you enjoy this video or if someone you know appears in it, do me a huge favor and share it around. I put a lot of work into this and it was a huge labor of love. 0:00 Introduction 7:06 Con Goer Etiquette 21:39 How cosplay? 25:58 Learning the skills 30:07 Commissions 33:00 People cosplay for different reasons 45:07 cosplay and social media 59:55 Competition Etiquette 1:08:01 Don’t be “that guy” 1:13:41 Conclusion Twitter: Scrossedsouls Auramimi8 IG: CJ_Bradley64 Starcrossedsouls12 all convention footage was recorded by me with the exception of some of the footage from this video    • Type Moon Southeast Cosplay 10 year annive...   which was recorded by @flashingblades and @DartDragon Thought Slime video about art:    • You'll never be a good enough artist.
