[RL] Yo guys, do you guys ever had pre-judging of skits in cosplay just to be part of a skits competition (not even big one for world cosplay or euro cosplay, just really a normal one)?
latest #38

I didn't even knew I was gonna be pre-judged, if I did, I would have detailed the act a bit mor

at the con I go to, they only have a certain number of spaces, so you have to try out to get into the competition

yeah... tho they at least could warn there would be try outs
S. Inu
2014-07-30T15:43:35.000Z
I would have written a better description
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T16:10:42.000Z
Yeah, the cons here do because there is limited time but they are more laxed tham masquerade because the latter is more based on costume
S. Inu
2014-07-30T16:11:45.000Z
yeah, this one only had 2 more laxed... and apparently they ended up having this shit.

Am I the only one who hates this sort of elitism? I mean, I didnt even cared about the competition part, I only wanted to do the skit
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T16:13:44.000Z
Cosplay has gotten really damn elite though, especially in comparison to when I started cosplaying
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T16:14:05.000Z
but I also feel like the level of craftsmanship has gone really up.
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T16:14:15.000Z
since things are so easily accessible now
Alicia
2014-07-30T16:28:24.000Z
I personally like the craftsman portion better than the skits
Alicia
2014-07-30T16:28:52.000Z
but at least at our con, I don't understand how some of the skits get to the final show
Alicia
2014-07-30T16:29:09.000Z
a lot of the ones that get through are pretty painful
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T16:53:03.000Z
maybe they focus more effort into looking after the masq and not so much skit contests? it is a shame since skits are suppose to be entertaining
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T16:53:43.000Z
Speaking as a cosplayer, I do enjoy the craftsmanship of cosplay a lot more than things like skits (sorry) but i just like seeing what people dish out
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T16:54:04.000Z
Plus, ngl, I am better at making things than performing a play in them haha
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T16:55:17.000Z
but back to your skits issue, i think it may be due to time restriction and entertainment. i know many cons where skit competitions get really shafted so to encourage good content they do auditions to get in
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T16:55:35.000Z
afterall, it is a competition, really. they have to do auditions for everything because of time
Alicia
2014-07-30T16:57:36.000Z
yeah it's just sometimes you wonder... if those are the ones that got in, how bad were the ones that didn't make the cut?
S. Inu
2014-07-30T17:16:32.000Z
Everything is already full.
S. Inu
2014-07-30T17:17:00.000Z
Yeah, but I like skits, as a cosplayer that is my favorite part of costumes (and afterwards weapons)
Alicia
2014-07-30T17:17:19.000Z
at our con there is always at least 1 or 2 really, really excellent skits
Alicia
2014-07-30T17:17:26.000Z
that never win :[ the system is rigged
S. Inu
2014-07-30T17:17:36.000Z
And I take things rather alright, when they tell me before hand I am about to be judged and the circunstances
S. Inu
2014-07-30T17:17:48.000Z
In this case, I got an email I was entered
S. Inu
2014-07-30T17:17:54.000Z
got the materials for the skit
S. Inu
2014-07-30T17:18:17.000Z
and now got an email saying i wasn't in because they evaluated my rough summary as not good enough
S. Inu
2014-07-30T17:19:16.000Z
Considering i am in the middle of moving and don't know if I'll be in the same country by the time of a next con
S. Inu
2014-07-30T17:19:24.000Z
I was a bit pissed.
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T17:25:52.000Z
woah wait they didn't even see the performance????
S. Inu
2014-07-30T18:11:17.000Z
nope, they asked for a rough summary (and that I could deliver the actual detailed script later on)
S. Inu
2014-07-30T18:11:22.000Z
and judged me on that
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T18:48:24.000Z
wow i can't even- what. ok, it is one thing when it comes to performance but this ain't no big shit production this isn't time for taking scripts or ideas i just- WOW
S. Inu
2014-07-30T19:04:51.000Z
Yeah, I am actually talking to other rejects, and there was groups and no one can really get what the criteria they used
ʘ‿ʘ
2014-07-30T19:18:44.000Z
x.x this is some weird you have ther
Bae Bae
2014-08-09T20:19:17.000Z

Bae Bae
2014-08-09T20:20:16.000Z
