Steins;Gate

• Makise Kurisu
• Dr Pepper all up in this bitch!

  • eg. "For scientific times, make it Pepper time"

• Guns
• Cyalume Saber
• Akihabara. Fukken do it.
• Whiteboard/chalkboard, glasses, writing
• As a photographic trick, can we get lots of people moving past at an intersection, with Kurisu cleanly exposed? Combo time-lapse/blur and single-moment

  • That sort of effect: http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/795838/

  • One obvious method is multiple exposures, with Kurisu overlaid on top of all the others
  • Or what if... you setup the tripod and camera, use small flashes (every 0.5-1.0 seconds) to get the crowd faintly, then move Kurisu in and get one big, clean flash exposure

I was on stage! That was fun: https://youtu.be/bilIIMgz4hk

Components

• White lab coat
• Jacket
  • A sort of sandy/camel brown
  • Cuff and hem details
  • Worn off the shoulders
  • Held to the upper arms by small belts
• Small belts for jacket sleeves
• Shirt
  • Blue trim details
• Tie
• Short black shorts
• White belt, gold rectangular buckle
  • Is that a little star in the top-right corner..?
• Dark brown/black tights
• Boots
  • Zipper up the front
  • Sides folded over a long way
• Coppery-brown/red hair

Lab coat

• Acquired, $26 from UNSW Arc store
• Wish it were longer, but oh well

• Need to alter it a bit so it's sleeker and more elegant, probably nip in the waist a bit

Jacket

• No front zipper
• Chose a ponte fabric in the end, good weight and excellent drape

• Really-skinny belts to be acquired, Jay Jays has something suitable - a 3-pack of different belts for $15. One in each pack is good (plain black)

  • Acquired two 3-packs. As a bonus, I now have two each of decorative-brown and leopard-print >_>

• Skinny belts not readily visible when jacket is draped off shoulders, will need to be handled during presentation/shooting

• Completed

Shirt

• Acquired from Myer, Marcs $99
• Lovely fit and material
• Will need to pull in lots of material at the back to get that impossibly skinny waist
• Best worn with corset
• No front pocket, will need to hack one up

• Completed

Red necktie

• Acquired from David Jones. $50, Industrie, fairly plain and inoffensive weave

• Completed

Shorts

• Acquired two possibilities

  • From SES, stretch cotton size 10 (size 12 was too large, wtf? I am, however, very flattered), $10

  • From MNG, stretch cotton size 40 (yay for international sizes), looks a bit tidier and the material is nicer, $40

• Both could be a bit shorter, should be easy to pull the hem up
• Used the MNG shorts and hemmed them up, pulled in leg circumference

• Completed

White belt

• Belt previously used for BRS cosplay is okay, could use a new hole punched, and is lacking a good belt-buckle
• Found a webbed friction-hold belt for $5 at Jay Jays. The outside is patterned, but the inside is plain white, so I should be able to trivially invert it for great justice
• Buckle is brushed silver, and kinda short. Ideally needs to be longer, but gold at the very least
  • Yeah, let's spraypaint it gold

• Completed

Tights

Purchase a new pair before travelling. Columbine opaque, 50 denier or so.

• Found some Kayser 70 denier opaques. Brown doesn't look as rich as I would've liked, but whatever

• Completed

Boots

Will never find anything quite right, and rather hard to match for appearance. Will use already-owned ankle boots, they look great as they are.

• Apply waterproofing before use

Wigs

Oh so many choices, and so many sellers with hopeless photos :/

• Acquired, this looks like the better one - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250934637378

  • 22+0(+?) USD

• Acquired - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120829871586 (Gekkou reseller)

  • 24+14(+18) USD

• Passed - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400258990593 (unstyled, but looks not-bad)

  • 38+0(+30) USD

Need to check out the wigs and see how much work is needed
