Besides, we really want to see the fandom use its imagination rather than just cosplay as something that's already been done.

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?

Okay I understand now. I just think having a little "next time we'll be doing this" addendum at the end would help the video flow a little better, especially for those like me who don't really understand where it would be going next.

I agree with this. The video ends with a "here's a clay helmet" and I'm left thinking "okay...but what good does that do me?" Even if you're waiting for future episodes to tell us the next step, we as viewers don't know that.
