Deer stilts costume test

I made this when I was at uni (over two years ago). It's being uploaded now because I still want it on my old site, but the original video was in a cranky format. In this project I wanted to improve upon previous four-legged stilt designs I'd seen. However, I think ultimately I only suceeded in making myself look like a prat.
(in hindsight, it probably wouldn't have been so bad if I had been less stingey buying fur.) Also, you can't really see it in the video, but that hill was Really steep, and the grass was boggy. it was terrifying to film..

My friend... I tell you this for your own safety... dont wear that in the woods. Rednecks shoot first ask questions later.

@yogurtpimp man, that would be such an embarrassing death D: I think I scared some dogwalkers filming this

Reminds me, rather a lot actually, of the fourth colossus.

If they ever makew the movie they need something like this for the man-in-a-suit-a-saurus version of the colossus.

It's something you'd expect from an ancient Japanese story of forest spirits and demons - it looks so rugged yet believable. If I saw that from a distance I'd run away or get a better picture. XD
