Project A-kon 20: My Adventure as Travis Touchdown

Read description first.

Hi everyone. It's been awhile since I put up some videos. My computer's been screwed up and I haven't had very much time to make more AMVs. I'll try to make some more later, but I have something different I want to share with you this time.

At the beginning of the year, a friend of mine asked me to come with him down to Dallas and check out the A-Kon convention. This year was it's twentieth anniversary, making it the longest running Anime convention in the U.S.

Some people said I should come along because costumes are something I have always been good at. So I decided to go dressed up as one of coolest video game characters in the past few years. Travis Touchdown from "No More Heroes". The whole costume was made by myself personally. I will admit that the jacket I made was a little rushed and the Beam Katana was falling apart while I was there. I'll improve the whole thing later for another convention.

I had nearly 250 photos taken from this convention and I didn't want to leave anything out because there was some great cosplayers there. The quality is a little lacking with some of the photos. I cleaned them up the best I could.

There is only some fancy editting for about a minute and then it just shows the rest. Originally, I was going to snyc this nothing but songs from "No More Heroes". However, I could only find a few of them and they play during the beginning and the end. The rest of the music was composed by Tommy Tallarico and I think they actually fit.

To all the people I met at A-Kon this year. You are all awesome and if you are in any of these pictures, let me know and I'll send them to you.

Enjoy.
