Crunchyroll Hime&#8217;s Cosplay Cup (or CHCC for short) is one of the best contest I&#8217;ve ever been a part of. The comradery and creativity that the participants bring is always next level which is why I knew it would be the perfect first show for Nicole to compete in!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now one thing to know about us is that we dream big and we get shit done. There is no limit to the crazy ideas Nicole and I will cook up when we&#8217;re put in a room together. So the moment I mentioned competing with Howl and Sophie to Nicole she was 1000% game. The next few months were a whirlwind of storyboarding, sewing, crying over acceptance emails, commissioning custom music, and a wild 24 hours filming our video in the mountains of Washington.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"[CMV] Howl&#039;s Moving Castle Cosplay Cinematic - Eli &amp; Nicole Crunchyroll Hime&#039;s Cosplay Cup 2022\" width=\"610\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aQ6wItaEe1I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;m proud to say that our hard work and larger than life ideas paid off as we were awarded &#8220;<span style=\"color: #ff3c46;\">Best Advanced Innovation<\/span>&#8221; at CHCC 2022!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Part of CHCC is creating a &#8220;build book&#8221; something the judges can look at that will help them understand your costume, the skills you used, and the choices you made. And while I didn&#8217;t film any videos as I was making Howl I did take lots of pictures that I want to share with you! So, here is our full build book from CHCC 2022! While this build book is a bit more wordy than ones I would make for an in person event it helps to get your process across during a virtual event! I hope it gives you a bit of insight into our process and what went into building these costumes!
