What do you think of showcased cosplay/cosplayers?

Production values on this are insane.

Where do we cross the line between cosplay video and actual fan film? The way that thing was shot it looked more like a Blackcat short film.

>> No.6474678

I think it's great cosplayers are getting showcased. They are looking for a new cosplayer to sponsor for 2013. I am thinking about applying. I am not as good as the girl in the video, but I wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

It's not like this happens all the time. Cosplayers only get "showcased" when a company wants to promote something but doesn't want to spend the money to hire an actual model or celebrity. Cosplayers work for pennies and are just honored to receive the attention, so once in a blue moon a business will take advantage of that.

And of course, the friends/fans of said cosplayer will always scream propaganda and claim them being shown or technically paid by someone means they are the next coming of Christ and everyone should all bow down and worship them. When in reality these "featured" cosplayers are usually just losers who couldn't manage an actual career so they base their life around internet attention whoring.

As far as I know this is still her hobby, so I imagine normal life got in the way of making more intricate costumes. Still Venus and Fem Shep were pretty good even if Ms. Marvel and Fem Sephiroth were simple compared to some of her other costumes.

>>6475201
The firefall costume was made before she was sponsored by them.

>>6475388
Did you know that costume has 82,000 views on youtube? I guess they don't share your opinion.

Honestly if you think she is so bad why not apply to be sponsored by them and show precious how it's done? Oh that's right it's easier to shitpost on /cgl/ than make costumes.

Hi Vernedead, or whatever whiteknight you are.

It has this many views because her TITS ARE HANGING OUT and its sponsored. I don't have to prove I'm better than Precious, and I have a real job thanks.

McDonalds at least has a steady paycheck. Cosplaying is a hobby where you feel honored when someone pays for your hotel room.

I think most cosplayers cosplay for fun, and if they can do it for free or get free trips to other countries like Japan why not.

Your trash talk makes no sense. Are you implying somehow that a person is jealous of cosplayers because they work a bad job and wish they could have a career in cosplaying? There isn't a cosplayer in the world that can even make a living cosplaying, let alone be something to be jealous.

Cosplaying is not a job. The types of people who work at McDonalds or wash windows are the cosplayers you're trying to defend, not the other way around. Say hi to Precious for me when you see her working at the mall.

Precious makes the costumes she wants to make and she gets paid to make them. So what? I think most cosplayers wish they could get paid to make whatever they want. Every costume doesn't have to be OMG super difficult. She said she made Black Cat for a fan film. She has made alot of difficult costumes like Ivy, Fem Shep as well as some easy ones. All the butt hurt in this thread. Oh, I guess I'm a white knight because I have a positve opion of her rather than a negative opinion. Sorry, I forget /cgl/ only allows negative opinions.

>> No.6475736

>>6475705
She doesn't get paid to make them. She got paid ONCE for wearing a costume someone ELSE made. Quit trying to make her sound like cosplaying is some kind of career.

And yes, you're a whiteknight because you think spouting generic praises is going to put a smokescreen over any criticisms or negative commentary. If you weren't one you wouldn't care.

>> No.6475744

Uhh.. no. The Red 5 gig is that they pay for material costs for her costumes for a year. Maybe you need to get the stick out of your ass.

>> No.6475743

>>6475665
What's your point even white knight? No one is saying Precious can't do what she wants or have fun, they're just not kissing her ass and aren't amazed by what she has done.

You're the one shitting on real jobs because apparently you can't not care about Precious without being jelly somehow.

>> No.6475746

>>6475705
Given the resources and the knowledge she has, you would think she'd use it to make more difficult and nicer costumes. Instead of putting herself in a catagory with other Black Cat and Cammy cosplayers. I know if I was in her position I used all the time she had make those simple cosplays to make more difficult ones. But that's just me.

>> No.6475753

Paying for someones materials does not make them a professional cosplayer, it makes them lucky and sponsored. She doesn't get paid for her hours works or the conventions she goes to, at most she gets comped. Big deal.

>>6475746
This.

>> No.6475762

>>6475744
Reimbursing someone for material costs is not "getting paid to make costumes". They don't give a fuck if she makes the costumes or not. They just wanted her to stand around a booth in a costume somebody else made.

>> No.6475772

>>6475736
She gets paid a monthly amount to make costumes, and gets paid per event for convention appearances.

>>6475746
She has to make a certain amount of costumes by contract, according to her fb, and twitter she has had a few surgeries and had complications (she has a heart condition.).

This maybe why she went with some easier costumes.

>>6475753
>Paying for someones materials does not make them a professional cosplayer

I don't think she considers herself one.

lol she doesn't get paid monthly. She got paid at one time to be a booth babe for the Firefall launch promotion thing and that's over. And no, she does not get paid to make costumes. That's just her hobby.

>She has to make a certain amount of costumes by contract
lol no. That doesn't even make sense. "You have to make costumes for your own hobby to wear at your leisure OR ELSE!"

I don't know much about her. The costumes seem ok? So yes, it's a little hard to believe she gets paid. Can you not give quotes or anything? Just because you type/believe something, doesn't make it a fact... I guess I find it hard to believe she gets paid by a company to fund a hobby she has without having some kind of obligation to the company itself (like making exclusive costumes from their franchise) or does she only make their costumes?
