Saturday morning 8:45am, just enough time to grab a few muffins, coffee, and apple juice before the free continental breakfast closed at the hotel. Coffee was empty, but the excitement for the convention insured we were awake and ready for the day. My fiance was working hard to get her Sub-Zero(Mortal Kombat)&Elsa(Frozen) cosplay ready for the day ahead. A few small parts of the costume needed some repair. I rushed over to 7Eleven to grab super glue sticks and energy drinks. The glue did the job for the time being and we were off to the con. I grabbed my camera, our badges and our energy drinks. The Lyft driver pulled up with a smile from ear to ear, the driver knew exactly where we were headed. As we were arriving to the convention I started filming, sure not to miss a moment because you never know what you might see. As the day passed we saw some very amazing cosplays and met some very nice people. Before going to the con I was feeling a bit negative about it, I bought a camera to photograph what I saw there, but wanted to do something more. I have always had a passion for film, aspirations to become a director someday still stick in my mind. Fear that I would not be able to support myself financially kept me in the world of information Technology, with a decent job as a system engineer. With the advent of YouTube and other video upload sites my hobby can be realized. In the future I plan on filming much more conventions and possibly starting a vlog series. I am also starting this blog, I will get into why I am starting it at another time. For now though, I would like you to see what I saw at the convention: very hard working people who are extremely passionate about their hobbies/careers and they show their passion and creativity by making amazing costumes out of foam, paint, and plastidip. It is quite inspiring to meet people who take their passion this seriously, some even have made careers from it. When you see these costumes, you can see why cosplay isn’t your average fashion show and that the work these people put into it truly shows something unique and special.
