GACC 2010 Cosplayers, Day 1, MMU Melaka 2

This picture was taken near the bushy area as well. Vocaloids.... Can Kagamine Rin sing in English?

EEP! HELP! THE NURSE IS TRYING TO KILL ME! Okay, nothing like that. It was just a pose and I did accidentally touch the red blood but I am not going to tell what it was. Her cosplay looked creepy from afar but I guess, that was exactly the effect she wanted.

I called her while she was still standing there as if she was waiting for someone. So, I brought her near the brick wall (At first, I wanted the grassy area but I changed my mind). We got into action, got her photo taken and all. She was good overall.

This cosplayer, I needed to do a bargain with him. This was the only posture he finally agreed to do. There was one picture with him and a girl but then, he made up the posture himself. But then, I like his expression when he began to be one with the character. XD. Dunno what character but he told me, "this character is not like this, he never did that...." ~O.O~

When I saw someone in Katekyo Hitman Reborn cosplay, I went up to him. I can't remember what he did at first but I was unsatisfied. So, I began mending his posture with a little pushing on his hand etc. etc. and told him to imagine like he was in a battle or like he was suddenly attacked. (Sweatdrop). I didn't think he enjoyed being push like that but then, I am a fan of TSUNA and MUKURO!!!!! They are lively characters so I wanted the feeling inside the picture as well.

Again, please do forgive my bad attitude. Things always happen without me planning.

  1. Dear Ms Cho, please do not ask cosplayers by forcing them to pose what you wanted it to be like. They are not models and most cosplayers do not like when they are told to do something in which they would feel uncomfortable. Cosplaying is meant to have fun and freedom, not a forceful way of asking them to pose.

    Please read this article for better understanding.

  3. Dear Satsuu,

    Well I did read your reply and was very happy to read your piece of thought.

    It just happened that I stumbled on your music and fashion problem too.

    My reply would be the mixture of your comment and also for your fashion and music dilemma.

    Please bear with my condense reply. It's up to you if you want to read the whole thing or not but I suggest that you read thoroughly first before jumping to any conclusion.

    "Fashion is art, music is art"- well, music can be fashionable, don't you think? By that, I meant to say, music has its own dresses as well. LOL. Different music is played using different instruments and these instruments are the dresses that I meant. The fashion meant by your friend must have been referring to the genre of the music.

    Hey, different people interprets it differently. I think fashion is not art. Do you want to know why? Fashion is a trend of time whilst art is something you think is beautiful in its own way and never been buried by time. Music is an art because no matter in what era, their beauty and unique characteristics remain while fashion dies when the time change.

    I am not going to say you are wrong or you are right or your friend is wrong or right. Now, since you think music is art and fashion is art, don't you think photography is an art too? And even with a mobile phone camera, it is still photography. Models doesn't do poses- they walk like a cat and I hardly call walking like a cat posing or an art.

    Those are the most ridiculous art I have ever seen. The only art the models do have on them are the clothes designed for them. Those clothes categorized their genre.

    Basically, all I want is a memory and they are my memory. I want to show my great, great grandchildren that cosplay makes wonders to my world. Hey, they ought to know why, right?

    That is to say I don't only ask for poses but I have like 128 pictures of GACC, so do you think every single one contain just poses? I just post 15 pictures. Of course the one I put online are the one with well... how do you put it again? Oh, yeah, poses.

    To be honest, they are never models to me. They are subjects but not model. You learn art and design so tell me, which is more important? The one in focus or the one you want people to see the least?

    I have never believed in light and shadow effect but I do believe in the art of angling your camera. Meaning the art of perspective. That's because, even when you don't put effect on your lenses, the nature will play it all out for you. That is the only thing that I want to achieve from this 15 images. That is the real beauty to me.

    If you think art and design is something you can obtain through mentality, that attitude needs to go. Art is your heart. You feel it. So as to music and dancing. You move as one with the music and not just because you listen to it and picture it. You become it.

    Art is purely feelings. Don't trust me? Try this. When you are happy, you paint a portrait of let say a vase and when you are sad, paint the same vase again. Tell me, how much difference will you see in the picture?

    I'll say, people who see the picture will know your feelings immediately with just one look.
    I know I jump from one thing to another but please understand, the cosplayers are not models to me. They are people who had done their best to be the character. That is why when you are cosplaying (in Japan, this is actually true), you become the person you are supposed to be. They did what the poses, I angled my mobile phone camera. It's only for two minutes, not even more.

    And that's not torture.

  4. To Ray Ray,

    I hope you are not the one I mentioned there. Well- to be honest, my assumptions were baseless, yes but I kept them neutral in the end, didn't I? Meaning: I wrote I didn't know.Therefore, what I am trying to say in that easy to misuderstand passage is no matter how much you guess, it never will be what you think it is. Read it again and tell me what you think.
    Don't take English language for granted. All I did was expressing my thought which was an art in itself.

    Also, there are sentences where I am not trying to be mean but that is what we call critics.

    Imagine if you meet a girl and you tell her she's the prettiest woman a deity being can create when in reality, you think otherwise. Years later, you tell her the truth that she's ugly.

    Don't you think that will offense her more?
    Dislike by others is one thing, offense is another. Both are true and I have never agreed more but let me ask, will you be a person who rejoice with just a few compliments? Would you prefer to be lied too?

    If your lecturer tells you that you have talent to be a (example) doctor when you are not even close to one. By the end of your career, don't you wish that he had tell you the truth? Don't you think his thought will be very important to you?

    I say, you are the kind that likes to keep your thought to yourself. Let me tell you, don't be that way. You destroy others and yourself.

    That is far more horrible and the consequences are doubled.
