You might
believe that to cosplay you need a lot of expensive supplies to create your
outfit. However, as Anucha Saengchart (aka lonely man) demonstrates what you
need are some simple materials and a little imagination. His funny Low-Cost
Cosplay film in which he records how he turns into characters from pop culture
and beyond on a budget and in a short amount of time has become a huge hit.
On the
Low-Cost, Cosplay Facebook page, and Instagram account each post is a four-act
outfit. Saengchart inspects the tool (or tools) he'll be using to build his
look in the first column. It may be a piece of candy body polish or even
ketchup and French fries at times. He takes a shot of his work in progress in
the second panel. The last two panels show a side-by-side contrast of his work
and the original photograph.
Surprisingly
by subtly organizing his materials or employing forced viewpoint, Saengchart catches
the sense of who or what he's attempting to portray. Are they exact replicas of
the originals? Certainly not! But that's part of the appeal of Low-Cost Cosplay
and we wouldn't get it any other way.
