DIY Ghostbuster Costume & Proton Pack - DIY Costume Squad

[@JeremyVerburg]

I always loved watching you create costumes and props. So cool to see this throwback here after all those years!

[@danielyaboi1483]

HES BACK, I miss this series sm

[@cedy413]

I grew up watching your DIY Costume Squad series in my middle/high school days even to this day, I’m inspired by this series to make my own costumes

[@pokemon200016]

Im really impressed with the Proton Pack! For it to be completely independently made out of foam and misc bits, it looks really good! To add a bit more realism to it, ive seen those that DIYed their packs use PVC piping as an ALICE frame, like the ones the screen-used packs are attached to, and then put the backpack straps on those.

[@fasfan]

You know.. when I saw you start by spray painting a painter's suit and then junk together a pack I thought this was a joke. But honestly.. when you were done... for less than $100 that actually turned out pretty good.

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

I approve this message.

[@spider-mangaming10official44]

They should do a reunion of home made movies with the old cast ,

[@RageONTv]

@@spider-mangaming10official44I think he said they left in not so great terms

[@sennethijs9329]

Heck yeah Costume Squad is back! Would love to see you make an episode on Batman! Maybe another Keaton suit? Glad the show is back!😊

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

Sorry, this is from 2017. But I’ve been making costumes here on the channel every now and then!

[@GreenBladeXD]

My favorite part about this is that I was literally just about to comment on your latest video asking you to make a proton pack. Also I love your videos. Watching them since I was little.

[@richieboon1119]

I’ve seen this several times in Facebook and I’ve been mad it’s never on KZbin until now. Thanks Dustin!!!

[@thecrossoverchannel]

Cool Costume, Costume Squad brings back memories, I love the Edward Scissorhands costume you made in the past.

[@KyberQ]

Love to see this series return, and I remember following the Homemade Movies BTS of the Ghostbusters scene when I made my Ghostbusters costume from scratch back in the day!

[@JoedEzekiel069]

Dustin: the man who never leaves, but everyone thought he left

[@caylesswalsh9199]

Dustin, your my hero. Thank you so much for bringing this back. This is my childhood

[@Fishy_VA]

Ever since i watched Dustin's og ghostbusters outfit vids and the first Cinefx homemade movies/costume squad vids i feel in love with Cinefx and Dustin's channel channel entirely. As a child these videos inspired me greatly to make all sorts of wacky things. The first thing i ever homemade was a proton pack out of duct tape, cardboard, and you guessed it...hot glue! it was marvelously janky, but after growing up watching dustin and the homemade movies crew, it inspired me to make more and more, until just recently i made another proton pack and ghostbusters getup that i am really proud of, theyre my best videos and projects to date and seeing this video made me feel like Dustin's journey, and also my journey watching Dustin and his friends make such cool stuff with such reachable and tangible methods, has finally come full circle. Dustin McLean, thank you so much for inspiring so many DIY'ers and homemamde film-makers with your creativity and charm. You will go down in history as one of the true youtube ogs, and a legend of props and costume-making!

[@Rhyciz]

DIY COSTUME SQUAD!!! I missed these so much!

[@Goth_anarchist]

holy shit, you're back!!! we've missed y'all

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

Be sure to check out the other props and costumes I've done here on this channel in the past few years!

[@Rodimus13ShelfSpace]

As someone who does Ghostbuster cosplay in an official group... I think this rocks! Yeah it's not perfect, but working with the limited supplies you had, you made something that looks pretty darn good and would still fit in decently in any Ghostbusters group photo shoot.

[@AlessandroCecconi]

it's been a while since I last saw a DIY Costume Squad video and this makes me so happy, I'm sure you've done more just KZbin didn't want me to see them idk

[@jakedrake3660]

THE KING IS BACK!!!!

[@TeamGhostMidas]

I remember watching you make the Ghost trap years ago as a kid! The same thing with the scenes recreation you did as well! The trash bag slimmer was really unique, and tbis video brings me back! Great job!!

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

Thanks! You know I only got rid of that Slimer recently, it was in pretty bad shape but I didn't want to part with it!

[@BenjaminMaas-xp7xi]

He is back

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

Where did I go?

[@wild.angelo]

I’m so glad you uploaded this here. I remember looking up DIY costume squad and google then realizing the exclusive Facebook episodes. Glad I can see it here now.

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

Glad you found it! I feel like those 5 episodes were hidden forever.

[@wild.angelo]

@@DustFilmsOriginals do you plan on releasing those episodes on your channel or just this one where it’s yourself?

[@DragonMccarther]

i had a small heart attack when i saw the thumbnail i was so surprised you’d do ghostbusters

[@gunnarbiker]

The first thing I ever attempted to make, from your videos, was a few years ago. I made the Hoverboard and it still looks great in my BTTF display!

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

Awesome!

[@andreromero240]

Yaaassss!!! I remember only being able to see this on facebook! Thanks so much for posting! Love you man! :)

[@toxic_anims]

Really happy to see these videos come back, myself and my friend binge watch all of the lmao XD

[@KevinRodriguez-gd2jw]

I missed these! ❤

[@CosplayingwithChad]

I’m sad this episode wasn’t released, it’s cool to see it come out now, I’ve made a ton of proton packs through out my life and this is much better than what I could have done.👍👻🚫

[@2224addy]

It's nice to see that you finally made a video about making the suit and proton pack for your ghost trap you made years ago

[@TheDoctorCog]

Wow! Cool to see a new DIY Costume Squad video pop up in my feed!

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

Surprise!

[@raynekraven]

Must be light as hell... I have the haslab pack and I love it. yours is a great project for a fan on a budget :)

[@roshowfilms6484]

I dont know if here's the place to say it, but i just wanna say thanks and that I'm glad i found your channel. I know you've heard this SOOOOOO many times but i grew up with homemade movie's, i would always love watching the behind the scenes, maybe even more then the recreations lol. I also love the other ones like d.i.y costume squad and all that. I'm huge into making homemade props and movies amd you were a core inspiration to me, no matter what materials i have, i can still make something just as cool. And then i found this personal account and fell in love, THERE'S SO MUCH GOLD (the back to the future script with different impressions is a favorite of mine lmao) I love everything you make, so make whatever you want. i know it kinda sucks that the only thing anyone ever talks about is homemade movies even tho is looong gone, and you seem sick of it 😂 Anyway, sorry for the long comment, but i just had to say what you meant to me as a person, have a good day Dustin!

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

I appreciate all of that, thank you

[@e815usa]

Nice job, especially on the proton pack! I also bet the pack doesn't weigh a lot strapped onto your back, as I bet a real proton pack would, LOL!

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

Yeah it's light! And the first version that I made out of wood and metal back in 2008 was incredibly heavy.

[@David9559]

Cant believe it after soo long, i remember the g1 optimus prime costume long ago, that helped me and now im build non stop thanks to this

[@shannonskevakis4035]

Your list of spray materials doesn't have the tan spray paint... was there a specific name of the paint color?

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

Ah, good question. Funnily enough, I checked in my garage and I still have the exact can I used in this video 🤣 It's Rust-oleum "Fossil" in satin finish. I don't see it available on Amazon at the moment but hopefully a hardware store will have it. Otherwise this one is pretty close and I've used it on a few other things: amzn.to/3NqFzuc

[@breadp4ul]

Hey I have a question, could you try to make the helmet that Gary Goodspeed wears from Final Space? I wanna see on how to make it with cardboard, craft foam and etc, It would be amazing, I've been watching your videos since homemade movie trailers.

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

I literally don’t know what that is, sorry

[@UthmaanXDFire]

When I saw this, I thought, he’s doing this again, awesome, then I clicked on the video

[@mohammedhussain5262]

Great stuff man. I myself craft but I definetly wouldn't be able to make something like that.

Glad you like it! This was actually just a reupload from 2017 but please check out the many other props and costumes I’ve made on this channel over the past few years. I’ve never stopped! 🙏🏻😀

[@TheRealGuyWithTheGreenHat]

I've been waiting for you to do this since you did the cardboard ghost trap

[@hilarydufffan56]

Yes, I’ve been wanting him to do this since that trap too and I thought the only thing you’re ever going to see was the version he did for homemade movies where they did the scene where they trapped slimmer at the Sedgwick Hotel

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

This came out in 2017 on Facebook but not on KZbin so I’m glad more people are seeing it now

[@hilarydufffan56]

@@DustFilmsOriginals that’s cool. I never saw this on Facebook. The only thing that I wanna know is did the suit hold up after you painted it and everything or did it fall apart just like the ones in your homemade movies where you do the Ghostbusters trap slimmer at the Sedgwick hotel?

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

@hilarydufffan56 This one is VERY flimsy. Luckily I have the real suit with real patches already, they just cost a lot more. I was really only interested in making the proton pack here!

You really captured the essence of Ghostbusters, so many small details all around. Funnily enough this video popped up on my recommended page while i’m finishing up the electronics on my proton pack! It makes me wonder if you’ve got any more videos in the archives? 😉🤔

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

There are more on FB Watch where this came from! But I only “host” them, I don’t do the full build.

[@PorgPoggers]

Bro i know im late as hell but this looks legitimate screen acurate like i cant believe this is diy🤣🤣🤣 it looks exactly like the real deal.

[@wild.angelo]

I assume the original theme and music was owned by Mashable, or it’s a copyright/rights issue? And that’s why it’s changed?

[@goonie79]

@@DustFilmsOriginals Tremendous video either way. Thank you.

[@pokemon200016]

​@@goonie79 I know you weren't asking me, but if you do desire to tackle this yourself, there's a ton of reference materials on Ghostbusters forums (GBFans is a really big one) and someone there may have the patterns for the foam you seek. Otherwise, if you want to do it like the video, there's a website called the Ghostbusters Reference Library (I think that's what it's called if memory serves) that has stills of all the Packs from GB1 to Afterlife, and I think they've added Frozen Empire as well. Tons of pictures to pull from for inspiration!

[@nicoleboucher8844]

Yo Dustin, you think you can tell me how much all the stuff in this vid is, that would be great.

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

I say it in the video, that I spend around $80 but keep in mind that's for FULL cans of spray paint which I only used like 10% of and will use on other projects.
