12:26 don't by shyyy, tell us what's behind the text. :3 Side note: I really enjoyed this video, it gave viewers an idea of how there's more to cosplay rather than just dressing up, and watching this reminds me of when watching Anthony Padilla's videos. I do hope this gathers more views.

[@victorbressler7156]

do you do commissions?

[@popsiclewolf5938]

Please make more

[@Jordnpoww]

The Dr. Strange cape gave me literal chills. The amount of work and detail that went into that cape!!!

[@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece]

That cape seems pretty heavy. Also it probably contains an eternity of work.

[@maskedfoxx7173]

This is actually such a cool video. I've never really been into cosplayer interview videos since a lot of them feel sorta like they're trying to be trendy I guess? But this one, I can really feel that there's passion for cosplay in this one. And learning about how hard cosplayers work to make their costumes makes you appreciate it so much more. And as a bonus you might be able to pick up a new technique or creative solution to a problem! Well done Sarah! :D

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you! I feel you on that for sure, I wanted to create a music showcase where the cosplayers voices would literally be heard, as theyres so much more to cosplay than just how we look, and we all have so much to say thats encouraging or helpful, so im so glad that comes across!

[@baichan98]

Ikr!! It really feels more about learning and sharing their talents

[@kemcosplay]

I appreciate the ranges of cosplays you covered from elaborate, foam, sewing, bought, and people making it their own. It's so nice to see how everyone got to shine in the video and the joy you could see from them having the chance to explain their process, hard work, and why they love cosplay

[@lynnzerben]

I love the fact that Sarah experienced explosive growth on her channel and now she using it to shine a light on other cosplayers. I found this channel pretty soon after the Miku wig and it's been fun watching the subscriber count go up ^_^

[@Winry101]

Is it weird that I got emotional watching this? 'Cause I'm bawling right now. 😭 The cosplays were so beautiful and amazing! I know I've always wanted to cosplay but made a million excuses not to (wrong skin tone, wrong body type, not affordable, will not make a good enough cosplay, etc.). I think this video just motivated me to pursue the goal and give cosplaying a proper chance. Thank you so much for making this great video! ❤

[@snagdragon]

As someone who's been cosplaying off-and-on for nearly a decade I can promise you that it will completely change your life for the better!! No one's first few cosplays are perfect and you may even look back at your old ones later and cringe but you'll also be so glad that you had the courage to go for it!

[@freewingscosplay]

Good job Sarah, this video made me cry XD. Cosplay is such a unique art form. I love how you showcased so many different people, and so many different types of cosplay from completely hand made to thrifted and altered pieces. Cosplay should be for anyone who wants to do it and videos like this are a huge step towards making the community even more accessible and accepting

[@SarahSpaceman]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thats the goal, accessible, accepting and inclusive ❤

[@bitterfloof3998]

I needed this video - I have a con in a week and I'm not done either of my two cosplays. So seeing all these people in their absolutely stunning cosplays is giving me the motivation I need to get my shit done!

[@marisacollmann4640]

I love this format and would love to see it again! I love seeing everyone’s cosplays and getting to know the more intricate details - it’s just approached with a lot of respect and care and I appreciate that ❤

[@SarahSpaceman]

Im so glad you like it!!

[@irishais]

OMG YAY IT'S UP!! What a great video! It was an absolute honor to be included as Totoro! This was the high point of my entire con weekend!!!

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thanks for letting me interview you! Also im so happy i snaged a clip of you and that soot sprite running into eachother, that was too cute

[@irishais]

Starting a collection of soot sprite cosplayers t b h ♥️

[@allhana365]

I loved your cosplay! The dress looked so cool!

[@irishais]

THIS IS SO CUTE AND FUN I looooved seeing all the cosplays in this video and am definitely stealing some tricks I had never heard of before!!! Thank you for interviewing me ;u; it's a honor to be in this video with so many talented people. Also WOW RAID SHADOW LEGENDS SEEMS SO COOL AND FUN I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO CHECK IT OUT

hatsune miku cosplayers unite ❤❤

[@_limpixx_]

Yes please ! Do it again, the vibe and energy was so positive ! Seeing people talking about their cosplay happily, going from the most astonishing cosplays to more simples ones (and yet seeing their work and their happiness towards what they(ve accomplished) feels so good and kinda motivating too!

[@mansadlyholdingablobfish6582]

the end where everyone said their favorite part of cosplay made me tear up. this video was so inspiring

[@tantacles]

Yeah . . . we desperately need more content like this. The interviews were just fantastic, and the end footage was stellar. I also thought the ambient noise of people talking, while clearly not intentional, actually added an interesting dynamic to the video.

[@jessicanigri]

Absolutely loved this!! You can feel all the love and passion for the costumes they’ve created when they are being interviewed!

[@DebiChilano]

This video is so adorable! I am delighted to see so many cosplayers of different races and weights and all very well executed and with highlights! As a fat Brazilian cosplayer, who fights a lot here in my country for respect for non-standard people in cosplay, I love seeing people of all kinds having fun and living their dreams! I dream of one day going to Katsucon or any other big North American event! Make more videos like this one! Can't wait for the others!

[@AtelierAmy]

This is my sign to seriously start a Yor cosplay. I began sewing this year because of accounts like yours, and Rachel Maksy, and Bernadette Banner and it’s brought me out of some really negative thought processes and my skills and confidence have increased as a result. I was just posting Yor photos on my “Cosplay Ideas” board today, then you posted this video featuring such a stunning Yor cosplay. I feel so inspired and ready to keep moving forward and challenging myself! Thank you for another great post!

[@sawtoothheart]

YES GO DO IT I BELIEVE IN YOU

[@AtelierAmy]

@@sawtoothheart 🥰🥰

[@makaalbarn4304]

Omg thank you so much! This was my first cosplay interview! And even though I’m not wearing my wig I look fantastic.

[@seokjinnieshairsprout323]

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS cosplay is such a unique craft in that there definitely are commonly accepted ways of doing things (e.g. crimping wigs, using eva foam, etc.) but there's just so much creativity in people figuring out how to take fictional designs and making them work in reality, and this was such a good illustration of that.

[@Zeklettau]

This is definitely the best cosplay interview video I've seen. It's so authentic, and comes from such a good place; a cosplayer looking to connect with others, and highlight what they love, to share with a much bigger community.

[@Lady_ETHNE]

That turning Red tail is so floofy! The amount of work that goes into all these cosplays blows me away

[@pinkbluehoney9037]

Huge kudos to everyone in the video!! You can see the love and care put into every single one of these cosplays. They're all gorgeous, everyone i hope you're proud of yourselves!!

[@AmberCzesnolowicz]

Please do more cosplay interviews!!! It's so cool to hear folks talk about the work and passion that went into their outfits!

[@arisnote]

I love their cosplays omg! They even explained!!

[@bekwards]

THIS WAS SOOOO GOOD OMG i'm taking notes ✍ the ending was so sweet too :') reminds me why cosplay is so dang special

[@nightfallnoir]

•I’ve never experienced goosebumps from seeing cosplay, but this time it HAS happened- thanks to Nakita’s irreplaceable Doctor Strange cape! • Crystal and Courtney also did an absolutely incredible job with the little violet and turquoise splatters to fit Hades overall, and the way they used makeup on their faces is done perfectly as well to resemble the style again.. wow!

[@ssnekky]

As someone who is in the process of making their first cosplay(I’ve only closet cosplayed before), I find videos like these so helpful! It teaches me new methods and gives lots of inspiration.

[@hepcatliz]

good luck! sending all the creative vibes 👍❤️

[@PocketLeaves]

YOU GOT A RAID SPONSORSHIP!!! Banger segway btw asdfsadfsa This video was so cool! Loved getting to see everyone's cosplays and hear how they made them

[@dulce_dragonesa2966]

The creativity from everyone is SO INSPIRING i may be a digital artist but the dedication these people display is ugh, so good. Makes me want to to more haha

[@achiblitz_]

I think the next con I’m going to is in 2 weeks so these have popped up on my recommended page at the perfect time. The beautiful cosplays give me motivation to finish mine

[@Eid0lon]

Everything’s so pretty!

[@bigbaddiewolfie]

im in the process of making a cosplay and it’s a lot of fun (and kinda stressful lol) so it’s really nice seeing others cosplays and hearing about how they made it

[@Koi.isafish]

Wait this was honestly so cool - I've seen so many people posting from Katsu recently so to see this and some people I recognise is awesome

[@elomello232]

seeing a lot of plus size people be interviewed looking absolutely amazing in their handmade cosplays almost made me cry. i’ve always been interested in cosplay and i’ve always wanted to get into it but always felt so insecure about my body because growing up it was always thinner people being highlighted in all these different cosplay videos on youtube and social media. i’m really happy i got to see cosplayers who look like me and look absolutely amazing in their cosplays, will definitely be looking up all their socials :,)

[@xoe.russell]

I am brand new to cosplay, literally as of 24 hours ago! I came across your channel and this video specifically while going down the "beginner cosplay" rabbit hole here on KZbin. Being a plus size person who has dreamed of cosplaying since I was in high school but never doing it because I felt my body didn't "fit" character I want to thank you for showing me that line of thinking is a load of crap!!!!

[@_squarecube]

ive been waiting to see a snow miku 2023 cosplay and kyle did an amazing job!

[@terimorrell]

I love this! Thank you for sharing this showcase of so many different cosplayers and their creations! This is beautiful and thank you to all the cosplayers who shared details about their design and/or process!

[@JellyFang689]

watching this as im repairing the horns for my cosplay just fills me with motivation :}}}

[@moonjun1004]

This video is great! I love the idea of cosplayer sharing stories about their progress that are not necessarily shared otherwise. The end section made me tear up bc I feel most of the times from the outside, cosplay is just seen as "dressing up" when in reality its so much more! I would love to see more videos like this in the future. Great job!

[@Beanzontoastz]

Omg these all gave me so many ideas!! Ahhh I love these cosplays and people so much!

[@Melonjam_]

Please please continue this series it rly made my day 💗💗💗

[@Thealexisroos]

Please keep doing this if you can. I was fascinated every minute and it's literally what I love doing myself when I get to make it to a con.

[@NakaharaChuuya_SKK]

i dont rly watch vids like this bc i prefer to watch cosplay videos where it walks u through the process, but this video was so fun and genuine that i just couldnt put it down, i always love watching ur videos and u inspire me to make cosplays that i wouldve only believed were in my dreams, tysm:)

[@Whitney_Sews]

I loved this! So cool to hear the different techniques people used.

[@JessLess]

This video was absolutly adorable! I loved getting to not only see all the amazing cosplays, but a little insight into how they were made. Alos congrats on the sponsorship :D

[@jenn_augenstern]

Such a beautiful and inspiring format! I always love to listen to people speaking about what they're passionate about and I bet many of the cosplayers were super happy to be aked these questions

[@cirice.666]

This was such a cool video, I love how you interviewed cosplayers of all different skill/experience levels! Would love to see more vids like this in the future :)

[@rtherobingoblin]

Not me crying because I have missed cons so much!! This is a really awesome video and I loved remembering why I cosplay and why its so much fun.

[@kariikosmos3005]

Why am I crying 😭 this was beautiful

[@d3l1c10uspancak3s]

Sarah, thank you SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! 💕💕💕 I'm a new displayed myself who wants to make my displays from scratch (because I'm a perfectionist and can't stand how cheap and bad the cosplay you buy online look), but all the complex sewing, knowing what fabrics, tools, and materials to use, and craftsmanship is very intimidating and costly, so I don't know what to do and feel at a loss when I just don't know how to construct a difficult part of a cosplay I want to do. So, seeimg the inspiration and methods used by professional cosplayers, including your cosplay and sewing tutorials on this channel is such a huge help, and I feel so much more confident about making my own displays now. There's nothing more gratifying than wearing a good looking and high quality cosplay that you made yourself. Again, thank you!

[@kiko219]

Love this. Love how passionate people are no matter their skill level. Creating is so much fun and sharing your creations with others and hearing what people have done is so joyful.

[@jvever4904]

Everyone's cosplay is fantastic! Wow, people put so much work into them.

[@tehvampire]

I love hearing about people's favorite part of their cosplay!! And also about the construction, definitely. Loved the format a lot!!

[@sevenover42]

I LOVE THIS CONCEPT! i know cosplayers would love to geek out and tell interviewers stuff about the process of their work too!!!

[@acidjam5233]

This was such an inspiring and motivating video to watch, holy hell!!! I'm making my first prop for a cosplay ever for comic con this year (gaara's gourd) and I've been binging your channel to keep myself going. I'm so grateful that there are channels like yours that showcase everything cosplay related, thank you!!

[@aliceliddell4062]

I'm attending a con this year again after not having been ever since 2017! I've never been super much into making cosplay myself (I tried but got very discouraged by how bad it looked),but I've always been into dressing up as characters. So this year I'm gonna give it another try! I'm not making it myself, but I use my own clothes and bought a bunch of accessories that feel like the character, and I'm styling a wig for the first time ever! There's so much work going into this wig alone, I can't imagine how much time people must spend on their self crafted cosplays, y'all are insanely talented!!

[@FullsizeDebra]

So many great costumes. I love hearing everyone talk about their process. A true labor of love. I also want to say thank you Sarah. I used to feel like a complete idiot for not being able to under stand written pattern instructions. You mentioned that you don't either and really visualize what you need to do. It inspired me to try again and I finished my first mockup of a dress. Plenty of room for improvement but I forged on when the instructions made me go cross eyed. LOL. Love your channel. Take care.

[@songindarkness]

This was an incredible video. The range of craftsmanship was incred but it was also great to see people who were maybe beginners or had less time or skills doing their best to get their costume. Even buying it is valid. Also just how honest and special each conversation was. I hope you do more of these videos.

[@dabreadgalaxy1302]

I love Ken’s hatsune miku cosplay!!the bright blue hair is perfection😊 (9:32 - 9:57)they did such a good job!

[@LibraryFairy762]

I love this video - it's so beautiful to get to hear people share their art and all their hard work. It's one thing to see all of these beautiful costumes, and its another to hear the artist wax poetic about it.

[@Sew-Into-Music]

I genuinely really enjoyed this video, I hope you do more of this type!

[@Kira-kun_89]

This video is so cool, everyone in the video were so nice and creative (^o^)

[@grandrock8931]

The last part makes me teary :'))... It is truly magical in cosplaying... I've been enjoying myself from cosplaying and attending conventions from last til present. I'll do my best to be passionate on making my projects just like them ♥️💕...

[@TheBeanBoy_]

I don't know much about cosplay, but I love these kinda videos! Watching people show off things they worked so hard on is so sweet and serotonin and aaaaaaa

[@imjustdandy9799]

I loved this interview style! Everyone was so amazingly skilled and dedicated!

[@cookieforever4424]

i loved this! all of these cosplays where AMAZING! please make more like this

[@AlphaDelilas]

I know what that Totoro was talking about with people's reactions. My mom did a Totoro yukata-style cosplay for NYCC19 and everyone adored it, especially since she went the extra nerd-mile and brought her extra Soot Sprites (glitter pom-poms with tiny google eyes) and was handing them out to people. One of the workers actually came up saying that her co-workers told her about the Totoro because he's her favorite and they knew she would want a pic with my mom.

[@JadenYuki831]

This is such an amazing video and it made me cryyyyy ;;;; I really love the community aspect of cosplay so much and you brought it together in such a beautiful way. Thank you so much for this

these were all lovely cosplays - i love the range in this video wrt where everyone's cosplays started (bought, made, canon accurate, redesigns, etc) they're all so fun and brilliant!! i couldn't choose a favourite but i must say i'd be so excited to see jana's totoro in person

[@riotfaerie]

i love love LOVE this!! makes you learn the heart, soul, sweat, blood, and tears to make a character come alive. I'm so eager to make cosplays again!

[@Ariiyuhh]

I binged pretty much everything on your channel over the past few days and your dedication and enthusiasm about sewing and cosplay is so inspiring. I'm a struggling student so I have neither the money nor the time to do cosplay, so I live vicariously through others. Thank you for randomly appearing in my recommended.

[@nilladrawsstuff]

Absolutely do this again!! It's such a cool thing when people explain the craftsmanship behind the cosplays! Love this!!

[@RebeccaDun]

It was amazing to learn how everyone made their cosplays. I talked to a lot of cosplayers at Katsu this year and learned so many techniques I had no idea about and so excited to use them for a future project. Please continue this kind of content!

[@Molluskcentral]

That Dr. Strange cape was next level. Need more of these. Letting the other people just talk and tell their story was great. Having the definition/info show up on screen was great.
