They look cool as hell !Great job !Maurizio <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":banana:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"banana.gif\" /><!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndI really like to take action shots when i am in costume.Sure there are a few just stand alone shots, but even those seem to have a realistic feel and a sense of motion, (like something is about to happen)to them.My friend mike has a great talent behind the camera, and really knows how to breathe a sense of realism into these shots.He and his wife Aliison are ever bit as important to these pics as me.without them, these shots would not have the luster they need to be effective.I try very hard to become the character I am portraying when I am all suited up, as I believe anyone can wear a costume, but you really have to believe that you are that character , and use the proper posing and body language to bring that costume to life especially since you cannot show facial expression under a Hockey Mask or sack.Kane was the master at that, but after seeing still shots,and action clips of Derek, he seems to combine all the different Jason's in one swoop.You can have the greatest most expensive costume ever, but if you do not pull off that necessary body language and attitude, it loses it's effect.Look at heath ledger, without his superb portrayal, it would have been just another guy wearing makeup.this can be said for those who play Boba Fett,Vader, and Stormtroopers.If all the little nuances are not there, and you do not become that character 100%, well....it is just a costume!I know some of you are here on this board as well and i am sure you agree.I always appreciate the love you guys show me when i unveil something new, and it keeps me inspired to continue to do more, and hopefully inspires everyone else to create, and show off your own costumes, which I love to see.I thanks you all from the bottom of my demented soul.lololol
