Starcon Старкон 2016 - RUSSIAN COSPLAY - Part 1

STARCON ( / geekersvideo ) aka Старкон is a multi-genre convention held in St Petersburg Russia. Fans not only dress in cosplay but build backdrops and sets based on their favorite franchises. There are various physical games and stunts going on throughout the convention, including laser tag, a ropes course, and VR games. Skaters and bmx bikers were jumping over cosplayers. A pole-dance competition resulted in a PS4 prize. Attendees were shooting arrows at a volunteer batman. There was a cosplay fitness competition where cosplayers showed of their costumes and muscles. And there were 3 cosmonauts in attendance. Starcon was pretty crazy and pretty cool.

The best level of cosplay I ever see is in Russia, amazing, here in Costa Rica we are working to upgrade the level and we are doing well, :D

[@turbine219]

I gotta admit, I'm blown away by how great everyone looks in their costumes. Russia does some DAMN good cosplay.

[@FireSpark]

4:20 Sweet lord, that John Snow guy. Freaky likeness.

[@theoldschoolfanboy7259]

Well, never thought I'd say this, but cosplay, regardless of your favorite genre/character is, IS almost like a universal language where we all do have something in common ☺

[@MrCAVRING]

Вот это неожиданно было увидеть на этом канале.

[@sofigold5626]

Ага

[@maddronz]

Потихоньку и у нас в России начинается развиваться серьёзный косплей =)

[@sofigold5626]

MadDronZ Угу=)

[@demianborisov924]

Видимо активисты нашлись, пригласили. Но неожиданно.

[@geekersvideo]

Команду BDB пригласил и привёз сам фестиваль =D

[@aardithefennecwolf1125]

Oh my god, seeing such amazing cosplays from everyone is making me even more exited for OZ Comic-Con! I'll be a Wood Elf Dark Brotherhood assassin from Skyrim while my friend Maria will be a modern day Dragon Priest from the same game

[@86thfloor]

Fantastic video, it looks like there was some amazing cosplay there. The masquerade also looks pretty incredible!

[@sofigold5626]

Мы такие)) We are like that))

[@winreacts6528]

Dammmm, these Russians know how to cosplay!

[@BigBoss-sm9xj]

We cant let the reds best us in any way!

[@theoldschoolfanboy7259]

Cosplay, regardless of what your favorite genre/character is, is almost like a universal language, my friend ☺

[@SethPortland]

So this is what it's like when 95% of the cosplay people are fit and slender.

[@iamsam8446]

This surprises me that there is such a (seemingly) large cosplay culture in Russia, particularly featuring many characters originated in the US. Many were HIGHLY detailed. One character that struck me by surprise was "Hulk Hogan", both in his representation and the fact that Hulk was a formidable celebrity in the US in the 80's.

[@GuyJinMedia]

Always love seeing your work and adventures. Always Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@iamamelody]

Watching your videos makes me glad. Thanks, guys! You are great!

[@CosMePlay]

Спасибо, что хоть калинкой-малинкой обошлись вначале без прочих символик) Всегда знал, что русский косплей немного круче других своим уровнем исполнения и подходом в целом. THANK YOU guys a lot for so long cool video! Glad to meet you, welcome again!

[@AntonKlimovAK1133RUS]

Я бы не стал превозносить косплей своей страны выше других (даже, если бы это являлось истиной). Да, косплей хорош, но это же - только начало. Давайте не будем забегать в будущее и кричать "Россия, вперёд!" Лучше, как мудрые люди, спокойно подождать и посмотреть, как будет развиваться данная деятельность. Да, мне тоже очень всё понравилось, да, я не могу скрыть гордости за наших косплееров (девчонки вообще зажгли), да, я, чёрт возьми, наконец дождался видео БДБ в России, но всё-таки я не написал "Вот так надо делать косплеи!", потому как хочу, чтобы это было не последним приездом их сюда.

[@CosMePlay]

AntonKlimovAK1133RUS я согласен с тобой конечно, но Россия вперед я не кричал, мне это чуждо) Я вообще человек мира, не делю на страны. Это просто мои сухие сравнения с тем же комик коном. Там все прикольно, но много косплея просто для стеба и веселья.

[@naturalist3d]

Я бы разделил понятия качество косплея и раскрученность финансовых потоков вокруг этих шоу.. Так вот качество многих косплеев у нас не хуже (а на самом деле часто лучше), а про отыгрыш образа вообще сравнивать не с чем - за рубежом это направление практически вообще не развивалось. Это можно видеть как данная группа канала офигела от дефиле на сцене и пошла снимать в итоге сцену (а не по привычной схеме) ;)

[@КолдовскойЗаяц]

Лица красивые, костюмы сделаны мастерски, отыгрыш тоже на профессиональном уровне. НО: организация хреновая - очереди, теснота, низкие потолки, отвратительный свет в помещениях (последнее просто бросается в глаза, когда сравниваешь ролики, снятые в США и в России одной и той же техникой и командой).

[@marks5199]

OMG! It's Tulio and Miguel! From The Road to El Dorado! Love that movies!!!

[@sudilos1172]

Cosplay is such a great and wonderful source for fun, peace and love. Peace between Russia and US =)

[@iiYoan]

Holy shit that convention looks fun as fuck! And those cosplays are so original and great compared to those I usually see!!!

[@demoplays7648]

IM SO HAPPY YOU RELEASED A NEW VIDEO!

[@rescuetheprincess]

Russia! Jealous. Also, that hug clash was pretty genius.

[@lemonwedge4640]

So people in Russia are actually cool?

[@LucyPero]

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAS LIED TO US, MY FRIEND

[@Sam-Lawry]

Yes,they cool,friendly. Honestly ! Look at Georges Friedmann statfort speech...and wikileaks...

[@lemonwedge4640]

Why are people posting then deleting comments here. Weird. I'm only commenting that all us (Americans) hear about Russia is "Putin this" and "Putin that" and how awful he is. Really, dude, put a shirt on. That's all we see! It's refreshing to see some humanity come out of Russia (Saint Petersberg) for us to attach to. Awesome. Well done, Russia. By the way...despite getting punished for the whole steroid thing, you guys kicked azz in the Olympics. Nice. Honestly, nice.

[@NicolaiSyvertsen]

Russia is more than ground down industrial suburbs and Moscow. St. Petersburg is more European in feel. Also much closer to Europe geographically.

[@nielsmichiels1939]

Some.......

[@Gamingravin]

I've missed you guys and girls so much you're videos are always kick a**

[@Soilsha]

I feel like the russian can't do a mediocre work. Even the Cosplayers in the background, those COsplayers that "should be annoying to view" when you're watching Cosplay videos, are FUCKING AMAZING..... GOOD JOB, RUSSIA. And nice video, beatdownboogie ^_^

[@TheVertical92]

Thx 4 this Perspective. The western Media is telling us "Russia is bad" but this Video shows us, they are People like everyone. Good Work!

[@indi-go1868]

TheVertical92 *Russian government is bad

[@TheVertical92]

Its your Point of View. Many Russians like their Goverment.

[@indi-go1868]

TheVertical92 I'm not saying that's my view, I'm just saying the media usually highlights the negatives of the Russian government, not people.

[@spoonest]

Уровень, конечно, высочайший. Браво!

[@pjefsquad]

wow! i just watched guyver 2 dark hero last night and was thinking i havent seen anyone on the suit until i saw this ,epic!

[@NZOMV]

Awesome. Such clear quality + that guyver cosplay *_*

[@Random_Puma]

been watching your videos for awhile ..it just keep getting better. I wish I had a T-shirt

[@KrazyFlippa]

I for some reason loved the DC marvel hug. it gives me hope that one day these two companies will realize how much money they could make if they put the small shot away and work together

[@ilovelamp22]

That Piper cosplay is perfect.

[@LucyPero]

This was absolutely beautiful!!

[@richarddufault]

I love the idea of the sets. That would be awesome in my photo booth at conventions. Just need something that will work with multiple fandoms.

[@megagunnerwolf]

Hello from Mexico, awesome cosplay and fantastic people everywhere, hughs to everyone.

[@Ninjainyoface]

man those Russian girls are something else

[@SonOfTegz]

For some reasoned i thought every one would be dressed as characters from stalker .

[@GhoulRUSva]

there were some stalker cosplay at the Starcon

[@MytyaPrykhod]

its ukrainian thing, on this time

[@ninefangthesniper]

Godzilla, The Crow and Cammy made my day.

[@marsmarcus5961]

Is it me or the Russian cosplayers have better looking costumes than US cosplayers. Looks this video and then look at the NYC's Comic Con 2016 video and then tell me if I am wrong. Good job ! Keep it up. "Cosplay For The Free World !"

[@Гоша-ф1с]

Ничёсе как наши косплеить научились! Ваще шикарно, молодцы ребятки, порадовали!

[@OrlindeEarfalas]

They are all so talented! I am in awe!! *0*

[@raghucares]

Real crisp videos man. Love your work!

[@JebesNikove]

Amazing video as usual ! I really love your work !

Russians know how to cosplay.

[@Mumra2K]

4:19 Uncanny resemblance! DAMN. Clearly, I know nothing.

[@roelvoort]

Great props make, and some of those details looking very nice.

[@4Funoff]

Это было невероятно круто!! = )) Видео потрясное!!

[@atrinoch7437]

Yo! That Miguel and Tulio cosplay tho

[@alexsaltzman]

I'm so proud of my homeland right now

[@sashover20]

thx for visit to Russia

[@TheVertical92]

St. Petersburg is awesome.

[@riki2270]

+

[@MudDragon723]

Amazing, simply amazing!

[@Fyrebrand18]

Some of these cosplays are on point.

[@jamievaughn1485]

Great to see this type of stuff from other countries! Reminds us that we all alike more than we realize and that nationalism hurts more than it will ever help. We are all human and live on earth, don't really need to go deeper than that.

[@dei1081]

Этот момент, когда включаешь видио - а там твоя знакомая косплеерша уже на первой минуте. И она, чёрт возьми, прекрасна :).

[@dragonhobo]

Thank you for your hard work

[@Hitokage]

Russian cosplay is always gorgeous

[@KrimsKram6]

Orc Lady crushs all! Great work.

[@elmonstre223]

It was pretty cool to see some of my good friends on this video ))

[@GhoulRUSva]

HOW IN THE HELL DID I MISSED YOU GUYS THERE?!?!?! I was in Sans costume (not a clssical one, was dressed more for the party on the second day, Jeans jacketc, shorts. skeleton gloves with fingerrless glove, if you were at the party, the guy who did the splits on the stage)

[@Keyholder79]

I have to say the cosplay in Russia looks so much much better than in the states.

[@H31y]

That was a sincere song choice at the end there...One of you aren't dying, are you? :

[@Hitokage]

4:42 this stunt though :D

[@AlfaKoT]

Отличное видео! Приезжай еще в Россию. Мы будем тебе рады!

[@TaraFYW]

So many amazing cosplays! :)

[@isprikitikburkabush6200]

[@joshuayones8570]

[@jameswebb8162]

Awesome, looks like fun!!

[@ladysubzero7055]

Your cosplay videos are the best!:)

[@voxnoir]

I love the cosplay videos you guys produce. The camera work, editing, its all amazingly well done. Hope you don't mind but I'm using your work as a primer for my own. lol Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Keep up the GREAT work!

[@beatdownboogie]

Sure, I hope it's helpful!

[@richystar2001]

[@Knackebrodz]

[@xemnass]

[@brand-194]

Awww~ At, 3:46. Its so heartwarming~

[@ManuelValero]

Wow, Russia is awesome

[@digit4lagony]

yep

[@samirmujcic7886]

man those were awesome costumes

[@TastyPancakes]

loved it!

[@TheSteelEcho666]

Best part is it's Russia, so you know all the weapons are real.

[@BigBoss-sm9xj]

Europe? Not surprised... Russia ? Very surprised!

[@qCRANCASEp]

FOX HOUND he say wrong think. To own gun u have to ways: 1. Get non-lethal gun license in National Guard and buy Non-lethal handgun(pistol, revolver) 2. Get hunter’s ticket. And you can buy smoothbore gun (like shotgun). After 5 years with this gun you can get new license for rifled barrel weapon, but: 1. Long gun(handguns prohibited). 2. If you buy gun like Saiga or AK they have only semi-automatic fire. And only magazine with 10 rounds. (But... it’s russia and smb buy magazine on 30 rounds). To get both license you need about 1-2 mouth. Check on mental health, criminal record, age 21, attend courses, pass the exam, buy a safe. (And something else.) For Hunter you need also join to hunters club and something else. But... i’m work in police, so i just go to my To the chief, I ask the certificate that I am the police officer, I bring in guard and I don't need to pass examinations. Also, I can get a license before the age of 21, because I can go to work at 18. You also need to check in with the district inspector, if something is connected with the shooting, then immediately come to visit you, your weapon in the database, so that the found ammunition will find you . And the old joke «Self-Defense-a way to get even more sentence in prison than the attacker». Your gun should by empty, to use it you need: 1) Take gun. 2) Load 3) “Stop or i will shot you” 4) Fire, but nor head, nor heart, nor dick and balls and more more more where you cant shot+if i correctly remember u cant shot from distance less then meter. 5) also, mb, in public places with hidden gun prohibited. I dont remember all, but if you want - “Law “On Weapon” - ФЗ «Об Оружии» i think you can find english version. Also may read criminal code))) So... maybe russia is crazy country where many of AK-47, but not all people have they own non-lethal gun.

[@tomasstrouhal1837]

YES, KURVA YES. BEAT DOWN BOOGIE, THANKS :-)

[@user-cz7pt3pv7y]

no fair that looks so fun

[@coyotecorrecaminos6277]

thanks dude :3

[@poloMpolo]

the ending was like "in memory of micah" :D too close, its really looked like sth happened to you :D

[@Hawkwinter01]

The woman at 7:02, she looks *mighty* familiar...but I can't think of her name. Also, the cosplay is amazing, as many others have said. Nice to see Yennefer there, a shame no one went as Ciri or Geralt. Witcher III

[@BigBoss-sm9xj]

Agreed!!!

[@tingdzinkochu]

Wow gr8 job, comrade cosplayers!

[@wilbleeker8222]

Different - Super.

[@lebavu8260]

Amazing

[@DuyNguyen-bk1zv]

these cosplayers look so cool

[@ryanhart3979]

Russian really NAILED IT!!

[@cahayarosenberry]

Those Dragon Age cosplayers thoooo.

[@stanmarsh4203]

[@Sttahl]

Easily some of the most effort I've seen put into costumes.

[@AntonKlimovAK1133RUS]

Cool.

[@rukaroromiya6669]

Fantastic video! Will You come to Hungary once? *----*

[@Sam-Lawry]

поцелуи из Франции Kisses from France

[@General_Klytus]

The first cosplayer in the video was on another level

[@Bobbydog66]

0:01 Of course it has to start out that way. Was that some Red Army Choir? Also, the music isn't correct in the description, it's the songs from the next video you did guys. Could you fix that please so it matches with the songs listed in the video at the end and so I could maybe find light around us by lewiskowski.

[@beatdownboogie]

Oops, thanks for the headsup. Changed the description. Light Around Us is a stock music song I licensed from Audio Jungle.

[@Bobbydog66]

Thank you, and keep up the good work. And thanks for the info.

[@richardjohnson9703]

Russia wow! that's pretty cool! Keep up the good work!

[@digit4lagony]

Thanks.

[@chameleonpogono]

Agreed. One of the things Russia and U.S. can find common ground on. There are similarities. Great job, Russia.

Angus!

[@10joJoe]

Why can't I find light around us anywhere?? It's so tight.
