Unfortunately the website seems to have been overloaded, so I can't get in to see any pictures or read any more.I decided to be an iPod for Halloween this year. I didn't just want to be walking around in a box, so I made it a fully functional costume. I finally found a good use for a tablet PC, and used that for the display. A rewired USB mouse served as the 'Forward,' 'Reverse,' 'Play/Pause' buttons, and a bit of Java code played and displayed the MP3s. Some battery powered speakers provided the sound. It all worked out well, and I even won the costume contest!
Cool idea Spirited Away is quite a unique movie. I'd thought about going as Alucard from Hellsing, but I don't think I couod have nailed the look. Plus the outfit would have been black instead of red. Other anime hadn't ocurred to me, unless you coount Link from Zelda.Zepp said:I went as 'kao-nashi' from Spirited Away, I think the English translation was no-name, although it ought to be faceless...
It cost me less than $20 and I got a prize worth at least $20, so it all works out in the end...
I'll post a pic when I develop them, digital camera's at the shop...
