Interesting video, though the ending felt a little abrupt and left me a little confused. Is the helmet only for display or is it the base for one that can actually be used? I assume its the former since that's what your aim is with this series but as someone who doesn't know a thing about sculpting I'm still completely in the dark about how it would go from that to the finished product.
Obviously I expect this is all stuff you'd address in a later episode, but I think it would work a bit better with a "next time we're going to do this..." if you see where I'm coming from. PERSONALLY I'd rather see longer videos where you cover the whole process, but of course that would mean uploading less content less regularly and it doesn't work for everyone so I'd understand why you might not want to do that. That's my two cents anyway, it was a good first video though and I'd be very interested in seeing more. |

The episodes are meant to be watched on your mobile phone let alone at home, hence the 5-7 minute format. Besides, I don't think anyone would want to watch plastic settle in a mold for 4 hours. If we have enough followers, I might do a livestream of me sculpting sometime, but my main focus is to give people a general idea of how to make Toku to give them the confidence to get started. |

In all seriousness, I assume the next step would be using the clay to make a mold, and then using that mold to create the helmet? That's the method a lot of the more legit cosplayers use. However, I haven't found a really good guide on how to do stuff like that, so I'm hoping this will show me more. But how will using this guide make it fall apart? I don't understand what you're getting at there. You'd think if something is used for action, it'll hold up better, not worse. But it's not just cosplay I'm doing. I'm an aspiring filmmaker and really want to do toku-based stuff. I eventually want to create my own series, but I'm more focused on doing fan videos using my cosplays first (to get the hang of it more). Since I didn't have a lot of time earlier, all I really posted about was the cosplay aspect. Anyways, I do have a question about the technique. My head is a bit on the larger size, so it's likely that simply sculpting over the mannequin head will result in a helmet that's too small. Do you have any suggestions on how I could make sure it's big enough? Quote:

I would've assumed a suit built for action would be sturdier than a suit built to stand around and take pictures in :lol

Either way, I'm going to try this at some point. Probably wait for a few more episodes to come out though, so I know what to do next. |

I filmed my first toku movie, Gun Caliber, 6 years ago and there STILL ISN'T a DVD for it yet. But we will try to get these episodes out as much as we can. Also, making longer videos would use up people's mobile data along with people tuning out of the episode because its too long. Making it shorter brings up the viewership and enables people to have the tutorial both available in and outside of their home when they need it, raising viewership. Quote:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFZqxr3iSqE Stay tuned. As for measuring your head, I might cover that in a Q&A episode. In the meantime, I will tell you this. Using a tape measure (the loose kind for sewing. Not the hard construction kind), vertically measure your head from the back of your neck to your chin, followed by measuring it horizontally from the bridge of your nose to the back of your head.

If someone were to make a full-on quality suit the same as Kamen Rider, they would be spending 7000 USD. We hope to show steps on how to make your own original hero for a fraction of the cost. |

After all, these tutorials aren't made to help you become the next Rainbow Zoukei or Blend Master Studios. They're here to give the viewer a basic understanding of the process. Afterwards, the rest is up to you. |
MODs, would it be possible to change the title of this thread to "Tokusatsu Film School [GPTV] (Ongoing)"? Rather than make a new thread each episode, I figured I'd just upload them all in here instead.
EDIT: Thank you MODs! |
