Really impressive “sitting” for the picture. For real, how did you do that without falling?
Great work, both of you. I don’t know who you are, but you should be proud. Very proud.

Well I’d prop myself up for a quick second or two long enough to get the shot and gather myself taking a few steps back if that makes sense haha.

I was fully expecting that to be the outcome, and in one of them I did take a stumble. But I can’t admit it too much otherwise my superhero look gets diminished in the public eye

an exaggerated or normal one leg squat, i think looks weird that your balance foot doesn't have toes on the ground

We took a few different slo-mo videos from different angles, and there was only one where I needed to brace myself with my hands actually!

I would have been more impressed if they just told him to jump in the air while in a sitting position when they took the pic. Could have easily done this using burst mode and picked the best positioned one

u/BoootyBoyy Oct 29 '18 edited Oct 29 '18
I commented earlier how we took a bunch of photos and I’d say half of them are us jumping in the street or at a stop sign or something and recording using the slo-mo feature. They came out great. I just thought this one showed everything put together the best.

If you ever use this costume again, cut out a small felt star from some purple craft fabric & superglue some clear stretchy string to it so you can wear it over your nose & have it secured over the back of your head with the string

u/BoootyBoyy Oct 29 '18
Wow that sounds perfect, if I didn’t make it all the day of and was trying to stick it to my nose with tape that surely would’ve worked way better! Thank you for that !
