Beat Down Boogie’s cosplay video from the ever popular MAGfest. We can see the evolution of the cosplay video here with the use of Snake and Ghost to add a reoccurring element and far less emphasis on skimpy costumes. MAGfest started in 2002 and had about 20,000 geeks turn up this year. It’s held at […]
Splashy! It’s a cosplay pool party
Cosplay pool parties seem like an odd thing to catch on. But they have. I guess it’s hard for this blogger, tucked away in deepest darkest Scotland, to imagine. The idea is to do cosplay but in swimsuit form? Beat Down Boogie were at ColossalCon 206 and captured plenty of action at Kalahari Waterpark in […]
Cosplay, bikini pool parties and tiger cubs – it’s Colossalcon
Colossalcon is the strangest of all cons… well, that’s the case if you’re blogging from a bleak Scotland. This con seems to be set entirely in a swim park, the cosplayers know this and turn up en mass with pool appropriate cosplay. And there are tiger cubs. Who did the video? It’s the

Kermit daleks and other cosplay highlights of C2E2 2015
Beat Down Boogie teamed up AutoDesk to visit Chicago’s C2E2. Turns out AutoDesk were quite shy about mentioning their free graphics tool, Pixlr, but BDB gave them a shoutout anyway. C2E2 benefited from plenty of great costumes. It looked like there were quite a large number of “big suit” cosplays – dragons, for example. Doctor […]

X-Men cosplay and special effects bonanza
This is a cosplay wrap-up is an alternate to the post-convention summaries you might be familiar with. There’s an X-Men focus and the usual cosplay greatness has been layered with special effects. The result feels very different! This was filmed at DragonCon 2014. 2015 tickets are now available from DragonCon.org.

They’re wonderful ads and awareness pieces for the booming convention scene. This particular video from Beat Down Boogie is nearly 30 minutes long. […]
