Needless Things Podcast 67 – Dragon Con 2015: Costuming & Cosplay

2015 Dragon Con coverage starts today on the Needless Things Podcast! Sean Patton of SMP Designs and Sara Nicole Pope join Phantom Troublemaker to discuss costuming and cosplay!

Costumes are one of the most important elements at Dragon Con or any other convention, but so much more goes into them than just wearing them. Sean and Sara have both been involved with costuming for many years and have unique perspectives on how to design and create geek-oriented gear. From interpretations of screen and comic book designs to practicality and commissions, these two have valuable insight on every aspect of the craft.

The gang also touches on the terms “cosplay” and “costuming” and why they are different but not mutually exclusive.

Listen in as Phantom, Sara, and Sean discuss one of the most complex and time-consuming arts of the Con!:
