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
- 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
