Crazy Fans!
October 29th, 2007


And no, I'm not talking about Video Copilot fans, although we have our fair share :) Actually, I'm talking about my Indiana Jones Costume! Well it wasn't easy but I managed to finally put together an Indy costume that I wouldn't be ashamed to go outside in.

The hat is from Disneyland, I even had to buy a woman's purse so I could use the buckle for the army bag strap. Sure the real Indy didn't have his logo on the outside of his hat but that's ok.

I used to make fun of all those Star Wars fans that would dress up but now I know how they feel... but that doesn't change my thoughts about those desperate fanboys. It just makes me a hypocrite and I'm plenty fine with that.

Still working away on the new stuff, stay tuned, just keep your radios down.

Looking good man!

I've found 2 great resources in my search for an Indy costume:

http://www.whatpriceglory.com/mkviibag.html - these guys have a reproduction of the exact bag and shirt.

Then there's:

http://www.indygear.com/ which has sources on the rest of the outfit and tuts on how to make them look great!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

I'm sure Andrew will release this tutorial when he's ready, and sure that it's good enough. He also has a family to look after, and he is doing a very good job so far.

Patience is a virtue, so I'm told. Keep up the awsome work Andrew. Your Tutorials are the greatest.

WOw holy crap. Talk about inpatience. All you guys are doing is going to have Andrew rethink when he shows us a 'preview' next time of any work he has in the pipes. Why show it when he has to hear all the constant whining.

Let the man do his thing, and be happy you have tutorials you probably havent even watched or tried yet anyways. Theres a thousand different things to do on this site, instead of complaining when the next product will be out, or when the next FREE tutorial will be introduced.

Did I mention he does the tuts free? Nada? Zippo? Zilch? Zero? Comprende?

HEY! I resemble one of those "desperate fanboys" that would dress up in their Boba Fett costume at halloween each yeah. One year I even deviated and dressed up as Ace Frehley from Kiss but that was a disaster and it was back to Boba Fett.

I actually feel sorry for myself as I type this. Think i will go and cry in my Boba Fett helmet.

Great costume AK.

Speaking of Indiana Jones i was playing around with a Crane the other day which was made just for the Indiana Jones flims

There were two made but the other one is being broke up for scrap The guy did say that some of the small bits from the crane may be sold on ebay, when i am back up there next week i get some photos.

I like the fotos. Nice costume and location! And the subtitles are great. "Now... Where did I park?" LOL! I hope we will see this costume in a tutorial someday...

Is Andrew the illegitmate son of Harrison Ford and that hot German Chick from the Last Crusade?

Or is the Drewski trying to become a cyber-stunt double for Harrison Ford?

I can see Drew in the movie theater, critiquing the special effects. "You need a multimillion dollar studio to do that?!!?? I could have done that with an Adjustment Layer, Null Object, and the pick whip!!!"
