Gishweek is over!
Aug. 11th, 2015 04:30 pmHold on to your panties, kids, because I've got some stuff to upload!
But first, a video that I made with my son, to get us ready for all of the editing and costuming that we would be doing. (he did the editing, I did the costume.)
That ridiculous dinosaur is Dinomite The half dinosaur half mite mascot of this year's hunt.
I felt that making a costume would give us a step up from the competition. Little did I know that that fucking head would be the death of me! I called to get some foam to cut the shape out of, and a 3x3x3' foam piece cost $300! hahahahahah NOPE. So I used insulating styrofoam, which turned out to be a total PIA to cut and shape. I ended up using a sander, and when I die and they cut me open, I'm quite sure that little foam pieces will come out. They don't biodegrade!

Date: 2015-08-12 12:20 am (UTC)My aunt (an artist) used to work with insulating styrofoam to make funky kids furniture - she once put a HUGE block of it in our driveway to work with -- 'snow' everywhere.

Date: 2015-08-12 11:12 pm (UTC)The furniture was great -- she made a big giant chair shaped like a frog once, and little toadstool seats to go with it.
