After considering this idea and working on it off and on for 2 years, this passion project is finally done. I have made a thorough long form video essay about Cosplay culture and convention etiquette. It covers con goer etiquette, cosplayer etiquette, how to get into cosplay, how to handle commissions, competition etiquette and some of the socio cultural elements of cosplay as well. I interviewed many cosplayers to get their perspective and insight as well. If you enjoy this video or if someone you know appears in it, do me a huge favor and share it around. I put a lot of work into this and it was a huge labor of love.
