Unfortunately, needed too much help with the suit. He is NOT the one prophesied.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

I fully expect Adam to rebuild this and use the "water reclamation system" as a cool-water circulation system to make sure he's comfortable at cons.

[@smartgorilla]

That stuff is so expensive and a lot to hide I think

[@GorefatherXII]

Honestly I feel like that would go a long way towards selling the costume and making it not look like a flat replica. I get they're trying to be screen accurate but these suits *are* covered in water pipes and made to keep the user cool and hydrated in the deep desert. A sneaky hydration bladder and a creative water cooling pipe would elevate it from a cool replica into a true stillsuit.

[@MoietyVR]

He has one he used for his space suit.

[@ashleysmith3430]

Seitch smells like home ;)

[@Grunttamer]

@@GorefatherXII so would an astronaut diaper but nobody is arguing for that

[@zimmy1958]

Beverly is a great cosplay maker with a good eye for detail. Thanks

[@Willysmb44]

I respect the fact that you will buy other people's stuff and play around with it, when they do a good job

[@hightde13]

If this ever gets finished up I would /LOVE/ to see a build of the 80's version as well. I really like this version but the 80's suits will always be my favorite.

[@briandeschene8424]

I am not a cos player nor a costume maker. I write code for a living and for fun. What Adam us describing matches my take exactly in that it is infinitely easier to take something that exists and “edit” or “iterate” on it compared to starting from the proverbial blank sheet of paper. Many times practically nothing remains of the original but it still served its purpose.

[@emalinedickinson7492]

Templates are important. Even as a CPA, when I am designing a test I have no idea how to start, but if I look at an example it gets my brain moving. It's SO hard to be creative from nothing in so many aspects of design.

[@paulbarry5730]

Love wathching people just geek out on the smallest thing just awesome

[@_TheDudeAbides_]

It was a bit funny how she politely agreed when Adam said there are just too many details to keep in your head". I mean she did keep it all in her head when she made hers. She seems humble and nice. 🙂

[@tested]

Beverly is awesome. Truly.

[@Redmenace96]

humble and nice? or deferential?

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

While I can't speak for the actual costume maker, the weathering on the gloves may actually be spray paint. There are stone-texturing paints than are intended for use to paint plastic planters and things to make them look and feel more like concrete or stone. I used one of them for some PLA-printed statues from "Moon Knight," and the texture really does feel like sandstone.

[@Merennulli]

This is definitely making me miss cosplaying. It's great seeing people geek out together over a costume.

[@JayFolipurba]

One nerd said to the other "wanna come over and look at my cool new stuff?" And the friend was like "heck yeah!" - the story of how this video came about

[@tested]

Not that far from the truth.

[@lawrencemay1089]

I installed blue LED lights in the mask I made for my daughters still suit which shine on her eyes for the "spice" effect

[@paulbateman858]

That's awesome, cool idea!

12:25 To answer how that bladder is attached, go frame by frame on Duncan's hallway fight. Before the door closes, you get a really good look at the straps holding that piece in place.

[@adambloxham4362]

Hi Adam, Beverley an folks I don’t know if anyone has already mentioned this but some of the behind the scenes photos show the rig underneath the suit and as Beverly mentioned the sort of belt and codpiece bits are just on the simple underneath suit. Which is how I guess they can still move around in them. Great vid 🎉 👍 👌 😊

[@peeceejay]

"The cod piece isn't rounded, and needs more ..." "yeah" That cracked me up. No idea why. Nope. No idea.

[@LucidSystems]

Haha, me too. I'm juvenile. When they kept referencing and pointing while talking about the crotch and pelvic areas... they seemed uncomfortable, like they both wanted to laugh about it too.😂 Thats definitely a piece you want to move tho and not be fixed to ur chest piece.

[@LordEradicus]

I loved the stillsuits from David Lynch's version of Dune (even though the lack of any head protection from the sun is an issue), but I think these are more "realistic" and allow more freedom of movement if done right. Can't wait to see Adam's take on his suit.

[@simontemplar0468]

Have fun with the suit. I think it will be fun for you to cosplay with it. It was great to meet you at Rose City Comic con in 2021. My friend loves the autographed picture of you in Captain America that I got her, and was very happy to know you wanted the pictures of her in her Tron Legacy dress. Thank you for your interest in it. I'm doing cosplay now. If I can find an email address for you Adam, I will send you pictures of my costumes.

[@douglasthomashayden2566]

We need somebody to start with a CamelBak hydration unit and make a *working* stillsuit. I (unfortunately) don't have the skill.

[@aperturecontrols7463]

No way! Beverly's daughter is currently interning with my team at work! What a coincidence!

[@Gforceracing20]

The knuckles on the gloves would be a good thing to cast and mold

[@RileyZilla1001]

I want more stillsuits!

[@Zelmel]

I feel like an "accurate" stillsuit costume would basically be a cooling garment that had pouches in the thighs that (theoretically but probably not in reality) would pump from the thighs upward as you walked, IRL probably starting with ice in them. Like the tech in the books 100% just isn't possible, but modern cooling garments seem the closest to what they describe.

[@brolohalflemming7042]

This is something I've wanted to try making. I guess the challenge is something that's screen-accurate rather than would 'work'. But I've always liked the potential of making a practical costume. The '84 versions looked like they'd get very hot, but because tubing, there's the possibility of integrating a cooling system. One thought I had is if you could use porous tubing and evaporation to help stay cool, but not sure how effective that would be. Plus the idea is to conserve water, so wandering around in a damp suit wouldn't seem right. Turning it into a cooled suit would instead need a place to hide the refrigeration unit, but that's always been one of the things that bothered me about the stillsuit ideas, ie the lack of heat exchangers on a dark costume that'd absorb both internal and external heat. Some day, I'm going to give it a try though :)

[@AlasdairGR]

Or you could put the cooling system and a pump into the Fremkit backpack.That's exactly how Adam has done full body cooling systems in his cosplays before.

[@douglasthomashayden2566]

13:15 -ish re overheating with a detailed back: Adam, could you work your chill suit lines to show on the outside to enhance the realism / fidelity to the movie suit?

[@Redmenace96]

Read the books, and am a fan. How many decades ago was the still suit just an idea? Had my own ideas in my head, back then. These renderings, and the current (excellent) movie fulfill my dreams. It is possible, it is near reality. The movies want to make it more muscular. My imagination was more like a scuba suit, but flowing and loose on the outside. Like the Beduin wear their kit.

[@alexblackburn2021]

As soon as I saw it I wanted to replicate it Adam is quite possibly the biggest nerd slash FAN BOY I’ve ever seen👍😁❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@billyjo316]

How Adam causally took her mask

[@-Belshazzar-]

Take it off!!! Ahh sorry I mean, wear it!!! I prefer the 80's suit over this design

[@johnsullivan2577]

I felt like I was intruding by watching this 😂

[@eclat4641]

Love dune!

[@bbrachman]

I thought the Bob Ringwald's stilsuits were perfect. Just like I imagined from the book's description.

[@TechnicalGamingChannel]

I think this cosplay is a unique opportunity to make something that's actually functional. It'd be so cool to see a Stillsuit that actually lets you carry water, filters the air, cools you off, etc.

[@1pcfred]

A stillsuit doesn't just carry water it reclaims water from your body as you sweat and breathe. I don't think they filter the air though. Maybe to some extent? I don't know if Arakkis has any air purity issues. They're just low on surface water. I can't imagine what anyone eats there if it is as dry as the story says it is.

[@TechnicalGamingChannel]

@@1pcfred yeah I know, what still suits actually do is impossible without a ton of additional equipment. I’m just saying “make it functional” not “functionally accurate”

[@1pcfred]

@@TechnicalGamingChannel I'm not sure if we can make a Stillsuit. Though we can make a suit that does something I suppose. Frank Herbert was thin on details about how they worked.

[@TechnicalGamingChannel]

@@1pcfred that’s literally what I said

[@Raecast]

The costume adam purchased came as inidividual laser cut pieces, which needed to be assembled. Adam is talking as though he didn't assemble the kit. So who did?

[@jublywubly]

I can't wait for part two of Dune. I wonder what the delay is. We were told it was going to be released at the end of last year.

[@johnwhitton9977]

Love this one

[@douglasthomashayden2566]

16:00 -ish like Our Friend Totoro ;-)

[@donaldburkhard7932]

Not sure how accurate it would be, but using the shoes as pumps for lower body and breathing in and out for upper body. Then use mesh linen to absorb sweat. Running downward through suit then filtration system to get clean water. Must be a way to cool suit also. Maybe hands and arm movements have moisture go through hidden mesh covered heat transfer device.

[@anthony7697]

My guess would be some form of closed system 'evaporative cooling', essentially letting the sweat it would normally collect do it's job and start to evaporate, but trap the cool air in the suit as well as contain the evaporation so that it can then move to the filtration system in order to be recycled. Meaning likely no need for big heavy pats and all.

[@douglasthomashayden2566]

7:10 -ish hence, "Make one to throw away" (to make all the mistakes and learn on)

[@rozalynh]

What kind of fabric is the cape and tunic?

[@calebshaw6007]

Adam if you want good images of the stillsuits. Get the art and soul of Dune. That has great concept images of the front and especially the back on pg. 219

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

How does the distill suit work in reality? Somebody figured that out? I mean looks good and all - but does it work? How long will you survive in the desert?

[@Grunttamer]

Why would the cloth tunic be adhoc or poorly made? These are the same people that build the best stillsuits in the imperium, they know their trades. The offworld stillsuits are described multiple times as being far inferior to the ones made by fremen.

[@juricarmichael2534]

Leg pads for "water recycling" are on board and in use, too? 😉😂

[@brantknudson8194]

I wouldn't trust my water to that suit. Looks like it was made in the city.

[@axiumone]

I’m not sure if this is helpful, but the gloves are pretty basic motorcycle gloves. That knuckle design is very standard.

[@shellyzadorozny6962]

I feel the still suits from presents movie was not as good looking from the old version the new ones are to busy and a bit impractical

[@HeadCannonPrime]

The problem with the old ones was that the actors almost died wearing them because they were made with non breathable synthetic rubber like material.

[@415s30]

@@HeadCannonPrime That doesn't make them less awesome

[@Projacked1]

If I'm not mistaken, in the book , the stillsuits are all the same design.

And next week on "Prop Store Advert", with Adam, he meets a real Suits from all the Dune Films/shows.

[@MrAcuta73]

Now, just need a Kris knife made from the tooth of a Maker and a Maula pistol! LOL I know the movies went with a 3/4 mask, but the books talk about just a mask over the mouth and nose plugs. Not sure what that would look like, tbh. IMHO, those 3/4 masks look too much like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. = P

[@luciaceba4640]

both in the official movie and these, the fabric look like rags... with all the stillsuits and fancy stuff, one would thing they would have better fabrics... in the movie you do see people wearing good fabric, but the rags they wear with the suits dont make much sense

Dune is a great remake of a movie remade from the novel and now adapted to some new movies for us to enjoy

[@MtnBadger]

The first dune movie in the 80s was, to me, better than the remake by far. I get that the remake was more "book true" but, the feel and the actors and the production was more appealing to me. New movies? We'll see how that goes! 😊
