1. Karaoke at the Dirty Bird

This is the process of making my Halloween costume and some pics of it in action.
Everything works from the LCD screen, built-in flash, and shutter release button. It is also capable of wirelessly controlling my Alienbees strobes, and winning any costume contest with the push of a button.

Music: "Just Say Um" by The Little Village

    There were SO many good costumes there. Wish I could have shown them all in the photos. That Sky Captain costume? Amazing.

    Brilliant Tyler. I love the way you incorporated the notebook screen into your costume. Very well executed.
  • Tyler Card 3 months ago
    Thank you, Nikhil. It was actually thrown together quite last-minute. Had I known it was going to get so much attention on the web, I would have tried a little harder!
  • VTK Productions 3 months ago
    How could you have NOT known this would have had so much attention online? I mean, it's truly epic in all aspects.

    I haven't gotten any requests from the Detroit Tigers or Fox Sports Detroit yet, so I have a long way to go before I catch up with you guys.

    you need to meet my friend Murdoch. Together you could build the greatest Halloween outfit in the history of outfits. Last year he made a fully functional Zoltar (Tom Hanks: Big) machine, from which (in full Zoltar costume) he dispensed tarrot cards which said "I am Zoltar, i can see into the future. I foresee you will take a trip to the bar. I'll have a pint please"

    That sounds incredible. Great movie, might I add.

    ..But it's a D5000 :(
  • Tyler Card 3 months ago
    ha, you're the only person who accurately determined what camera it really was. I couldn't fit "D5000" on it, and I wasn't going for accuracy. It was simply a Halloween costume I made for 1 party. Never thought millions of people would be seeing and analyzing it to the bone.

    Nikon ichiban desu!!! I know there's a metric ton of Canon partisans out there but I love my Nikon. Nothing can touch Nikkor optics. Nothing. Awesome costume too!
