In this video, I take an in-depth look at ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2026. I go over all the new features, updates, and enhancements, along with the tools I personally use day-to-day for my own photography and videography workflow. #ACDSee #Photography #Software

I finally edited a video for cosplay photography at Colossalcon North 2024 with the Nikon Z5 and 40mm f/2 lens. I cover hallway cosplay photos with mixed lighting, autofocus choices, group photography, and even "Dutch angles"! #ColossalconNorth #Cosplay #CosplayPhotography

A good selection of food options and other activities that you don't normally see at a larger convention like ACEN. It still has more of an early 2000's convention feeling to it, which I think is great! 👏

I made a quick product overview of the textile paint I used for the Spiderman cosplay project: youtu.be/g3BbvzxuFz4
I go over the specifications and how it works in practice on the one project. #DecoArt #TextilePaint #FabricPaint

A lot of my old videos are rough. Basically just looking at convention photos with a cosplay on. I think at some point I tried clipping this one up in the YouTube editor so maybe a bit better than it originally was. Then I made that goofy thumbnail. youtu.be/PtKP4lfdbCc

I finished the Marvel Rivals Spiderman Bag-Man Beyond cosplay construction log. Nearly 40 minutes after editing. There are a few sections of the video I missed adding footage or putting the wrong footage, but it took a long time to render, so good enough. Fun project! youtu.be/NiN8XKGOoVs #cosplay

Basically done. I'll be taking photos tomorrow. 😸📷 I have a wig that looks close so I'll take photos with and without the bag. 😄

Finished the hooded sweatshirt. I transfered the circle from the t-shirt. Use textile paint with my homemade stencil. Turned out okay!

Scott Waldron @cosplaybanzai.bsky.social · Aug 8

Got my printer working, printed this to (hopefully) scale in 4 pieces. Joined them with clear tape. Then cut out most of the dark parts minus support pieces. Also made his yoyo from the game.

Scott Waldron @cosplaybanzai.bsky.social · Aug 8

Looking more at the design, I think I totally messed the hooded sweatshirt up. It looks like that has no sleeves. Then there is a really dense t-shirt under it for the sleeves. I'm probably going to scrap the crop-top and put the design directly on the hooded sweatshirt.

Scott Waldron @cosplaybanzai.bsky.social · Aug 8

Doesn't look like a ton but this update was nearly 6 hours of effort. 😸 My printer literally stopped 2/4 pages I needed to print a template I'll use as a stencil with the paint for the shirt logo🖌️ might be able to reset the toner empty prompt to get the full thing printed. 🙃

Scott Waldron @cosplaybanzai.bsky.social · Aug 7

Making the sleeveless crop top where I'll attempt to put the logo. Need to add a zipper to it as well. Thinking green circles (so many tabs to round those off 😅) then red fabric paint for the letters/building/leaves.

Scott Waldron @cosplaybanzai.bsky.social · Aug 7

That was easy. The difficult part will be the big logo. Considering the character has like a dual layer sleeve up top it looks like he has a t-shirt. I can at least apply it to a shirt then cut it out of needed to apply to this.

Started a Spiderman bag-man cosplay on a whim today. We'll see if I finish in time for something coming up in a few days. 😄⏳ Trying to speed run it because it's tough justifying the time for cosplay but I wanted to. The big challenge will be the large detailed shirt emblem without screen printing. 🤔

There are... a lot... of options. 😄 Nice style overall. That's just a portion of the clothing.

Scott Waldron @cosplaybanzai.bsky.social · Jul 9

While having dinner with a friend, he asked me to join him cosplaying from Love and Deepspace for Anime Magic... I might. 😄 I haven't complete shaved my face in years so that would be something.

Found some side-by-side edits 🐱

Another old cosplay, bought a cheap Spiderman suit and added one way reflection plastic to the eyes. Though the version I wore to a convention (for like an hour) was "spiderman on vacation" where I had cargo shorts and such so my gut/junk wasn't visible. 🤣
