Hello Uppsala!
Welcome to Sweden's first official cosplay championship
This amazing event would not have been possible without our partnership with Världsklass
We have a representative from World class here, Lotta Bryne, who sits in the jury
A warm round of applause for her
We also have a special guest from the Japanese Embassy, Mr Masaaki, who also sits in the jury
And we have also, from UppCon's cosplay group, Debby
So Debby, what is cosplay? For those who do not know it already
Cosplay originally came from various sci-fi convention already in the 70's - 80's
And has really grown really much lately
Only in recent years it has become really big and it's great fun
And it is that you dress up as your favorite character and have fun
Need we say more?
We will have a voting system that will work as the jury put their votes
and then you, dear audience, will be able to vote
On this eminent screen, on which it now is written "SM Cosplay"
it will come up phone numbers and descriptions of how you vote for your faviort cosplay
Have you understood?
Yes
Have you in the back understood?
Yes
Have you all understood?
Yes!
Perfect
Then we start with our first cosplayer
A warm round of applause
Then you can give her a larger and warmer applause
I do not know what to say. A fantastic costume
This is more your area a bit more
This will be my area.
First of all, why did you choose this character?
It is cool
That was a good answer. How long did it take?
About three months
You used fantastic material and it is so beautiful. All seams are gorgeous
Thank you
You must have put so much work on it
I have no spare time
Or, I have too much spare time and no life
What have you used to make the jewelry and all the details?
It is paper clay and ... craft foam
So those are made of clay?
Yes
Are they heavy?
They weigh like half a gram
Or less
That's good
Maybe you don't need to say more
Again, a warm round of applause
We'll just escort Madame of the scene and then the next cosplayer will come
Do not stop clapping dammit, my God
She can sew cosplays and she can sing
That's damn dangerous
If I understand correctly, you cosplay Sheryl from Macross Frontier
A very good series. And she's got an arsenal of different clothes
Why did you choose this outfit?
This comes from the latest film and it is not to commonly-cosplayed
Sheryl is fairly commonly cosplayed, so I wanted to do something new
What can be said about craftsmanship, expert?
The craftsmanship is beautiful, she has painted on the arms and it is a beautiful job
Everything looks very clean and nice and the wig.
Check out her wig. Check them curls. That is so beautiful.
Very beautiful, all of it
Thank you
Then we will get the next cosplayer
Warm applause
Again, a heavenly warm round of applause
I'll get the other microphone, so you can start here?
This is so cool. Really
This is not the first time you compete with it
Yes, I've had it before. But not here in Sweden
For Emily was, which many of you know, our representative in EuroCosplay.
You may remember her with her ??Gundam costume from last UppCon
As I understood it, this is a Digimon character. And there are many of them
Quite a few yes
Why this one?
The Angemon family is my favorite and I wanted to do something which was cool.
And I just love those hieroglyphics. So I could not resist.
Awesome
You wanted to do something cool and something cool you have done. A warm round of applause
Then we will get the next cosplayer
