I think Adam Savage is a fantastic interviewer because he both displays an amazing amount of enthusiasm but he also brings a fantastic amount of knowledge about the build process. When Melissa described her process he understood it and was able to build on the conversation helping to educate the viewer without anything feeling fake or condescending.
I think my favourite thing about these videos with cosplayers is that there a tiny moments where you can see how, excited/nervous/happy they are but they are trying to hold it together.
I'm not convinced he quite held it together :) (not a criticism, it is pretty awesome) More when I normally watch tested, I happily nod along as he flits between tools/materials/friends that would fill my house and bankrupt me - and I excuse myself on those grounds. Just when somebody makes something like that with an FDM printer and a can of filler-spray I find myself lacking in excuses... ...oh hold on, she said she used a Taz... ...THAT's why I didn't do similar.
Lovely design and absoutely brilliant engineering, reusability and seamless modularity along with integrated functional elements really are the fine art of development. I am very excited and impressed to see people who just keep raising the bar :D Cannot wait to have an in depth video with her on this channel!
Adam Savage is the best possible person to show off your work to, because he a) notices every little detail in your work with child-like squeals of delight, and b) knows just how much blood, sweat, and tears you put into your work, because he puts the same into his. In-freakin-credible cosplay, Melissa. I look forward to your colab with Adam, whatever it is promises to be fantastic time for all concerned.
1:59 That looks great. It makes sense to make it more like armor because Ed has inner workings that actually replace his arm to hold everything together. But to make it look amazing, not be all loose and rattling about AND actually allow for full mobility of your arm, 10/10
I still hope to holy heaven that Adam would visit the Wintergatan guy in France to look at his incredible Marblemachine X. It's so right up Adam's alley (apart from the musical aspect maybe), and there would be a holiday in the south of france in it for him too...
i think the wearer of sumting like that would like a little smoother and natural surface that looks like its other arm for day to day use ,just to prevent drawing attention to the arm , then again the person (M/F) can wear it over the stock prostetic when the person wants too on special ocasions like the comicon and be someone without a noticable handicap for a while
The coolest thing about watching her is seeing how her hands know exactly how to move. She handles her armor with the ease that someone might handle a wallet with, and that's fantastic.
To be fair, she did say a lot of it was built upon her previous designs(which is months before), with mixes and matches, as well as I'm guessing she does this for a living. Still what she made is mostly better than the costumes of some live action adaptations of cartoons and comics
Ever since I was young I was in love with armour I even started two educations that teached design so i could one day build my own armour. I can design It but not yet build It, but one day I will. It Is so cool to see other people making It and talking about It.
I see Edward Elric, I click! That automail is AMAZING, it was so cool to hear about your process (and see even Adam in complete awe over your techniques)! Welcome to the world of cosplay!!
@@Shifterwizard It's a combination of this ruclips.net/video/L7vKjZakY04/видео.html and her Sovereign armor! I don't think it's public yet but I know she's working on another full suit. HOWEVER. Since the armor is completely modular, she rarely wears the entire suit all at once.
Doooooood, I saw the episode about the gauntlets yesterday and was thinking that they could go well with a FMA cosplay. Then RUclips recommended me this video! That's such a weird coincidence!
the arm is nice but my god, those masks (0:21) and armor (0:26) are easily some of most beautiful armor, if not most beautiful *anything* that I've ever seen. That's fucking talent right there.

Imagine hearing that Adam fricking Savage is a fan of your work, I don't even fabricate anything and I would imagine that being the apex for that profession.
I didn't know Adam was into this! I loved him in Myth Busters! You're the coolest Adam! Anyone else here think Lume would make a good Alita look alike? She looks alot like her imo.

Returned to the Sauce she’s very cute
She even got the right height down for the cosplay.
That's dedication.
[insert incoherent angry babbling]
Yeah, she chopped her shins off and reattached her feet to the stumps.
Lmao
wHO ARE YOU CALLING A PIP SQUEAK SO SHORT HE CAN'T SEE OVER A TABLE!!
Lol
"This was really last minute. I started it last friday." I can only assume that if she'd had a couple more days, she would have come as Alphonse.
lol ;D
😂😂😂true
lmao
Without any doubt she could do that and she would nail it outstanding
nice
Took her less than a week and it looks better than the live action Netflix movie.
Damn straight, lol.
Her wig sucks though
there is a netflix one? japan should sue them and force to stop doing that
Zoe Mosaic how did you first costume look like? perfect?
@@floydbarber7528 I'm responding to the comment that her cosplay looks better than the live action. I don't agree at all. Her hand most likely is better but the outfit and wig pale in comparison to the movie's.
I love how Adam clearly has no clue what FMA is, but is so in love with the cosplay so much and always feels so genuine.
Absolutely, he just love craft and cosplay in any sort
Her Edward cosplay is gorgeous!
Imagine if she made Alphonse's body armor. Oh. My. GOD.
I'd be honored to wear it.
i did it in aluminium long time ago. it is a hard process indeed
I wonder who her partner was. Winry? Alphonse? Teacher?
norfy my guess would probably be Roy
I have seen pictures -- it was Winry
Just by reading/hearing the name "Alphonse" I instantly think of that: "Misaaaaaaa" he says like 11times/per episode
Ur good when people fan boy over you
Ur a legend if Adam Savage fan boys over you
Its Ya Bear word.
And holds your jacket for you.
I want The Winter Soldier’s arm done by this lady. Lol great work!
Her portfolio is amazing - lumecluster.com/gallery/
bump
And since Adam as talked to the prop maker for that piece and asked technical questions, this is what the piece might be.
fma?
I'm sure you used it only to describe the arm, but its not from winter soldier. Its from a anime character.
her designs being an interpretation of "fantasy grounded in reality" makes it much more amazing.
She's awesome, much respect =) Adam could had gone as Alphonse and that would had been even more amazing!
Need someone larger for Alphonse. :D
Arioch IV lol I'm taking you haven't seen his NoFace costume?
@Louis: Yes, I've seen it. Slightly different shape to a suit of armor. ;)
He could. But maybe he could play as Armstrong to me?
There isn't much effects work so it wouldn't be his style but he could make a great Hoenheim.

Indeed.
Feel 'that could be me'
(if I pulled my finger out and bothered to learn what all the buttons in Fusion360 do)
That, and watching Adam fangirling over the armour and trying to hold it together, as well. That's high praise indeed.

I know! Right?
"You're none other than the FULL METAL ALCHEMIST!!!"
-said by every surprised villain... AFTER they learned it was
Edward, NOT Alphonse. kehehe ^///^
This girl really knows her engineering and design. Respect.
When Adam Savage wants to take a picture with you, you know you've done something right.

I love how invasively and adorably curious Adam is - don’t change Adam!
dont think they can even if they want to adam is just adam
Ikr. He's all like "can I touch you?" "Sure help me take it off"
She really holds up well under fire though.
I knew Adam and Jamie never got along but damn, I miss Mythbusters!
I know it's so cute!!! He makes me so happy
As a whole, I was shocked and amazed, but then they started to tear it apart and I have no words.
Created within a week. Incredible.. She should be hired for her incredible skills. 👍👍👍👍👍
I'm fairly certain it's already her job
Adam had very curious questions and the cosplayer answered them confidently. Her work , that just outstanding
I love seeing Adam fangirling over awesome creators 😂
*fanboying
She is a real cosplayer. Doing everything at the last minute. :) That armour looks amazing.
She: people may not like it.
Me: I absolutely love it.
FMA and Savage. Yep I already like this.

The Sovereign armor redefined my idea of what armor in a fantasy world could look like. Amazing work.
Oh hey, this is the person Knyght Errant was talking about when he explained how fantasy armor inspired by historical designs looked and moved better.
Are you referring to a video? Can you give me the link? It sounds interesting. Thanks.

@@daaaah_whoosh Thankyou!
Scrolled to look for this comment! I hope that Knyght Errant gets a shoutout in the collab!
I knew it looked and sounded familiar. 3d printed costumes based off real armor and first thing came to my mind is this.
One of my favorite things is when a person who is normally reserved comes alive when discussing something they are passionate about.

YES YES YES 1+ 1+ 1+
Explosive excitement meets scandinavian excitement - Heartwarming content needed please :)
Someone tweet them, the Tested guys don't read RUclips comments

Yes please make this happen!:)
3:49 Trust me, 'that whole thing' works. She's stunning... and the armour and coat are stunning too. Absolutely beautiful work.
Imagine if they made a real prosthetic arm, that be amazing.
There are people printing real prosthetics.
That's what I thought it was from the preview clip.
i think the wearer of sumting like that would like a little smoother and natural surface that looks like its other arm for day to day use ,just to prevent drawing attention to the arm , then again the person (M/F) can wear it over the stock prostetic when the person wants too on special ocasions like the comicon and be someone without a noticable handicap for a while
She made a prosthetic leg for Natasha Hope Simpson... check out her gallery. It is very impressive.
Before clicking on the vid I thought that was a prosthetic.
oh my GOSH! Imagine having a celebrity tell you they're a huge fan of you!
"DON'T CALL ME TINY!!!"
_"nobody's saying that!"_

Tits, dick or height?
"BUT I HATE MILK"
SHRIMPY!
Much *passion for a costume.*
Her skills can translate to a very nice job in 3D design and manufacturing.
The coolest thing about watching her is seeing how her hands know exactly how to move. She handles her armor with the ease that someone might handle a wallet with, and that's fantastic.
I think Adam fell in love here. With her work, I mean...
wat
She is so frickin talented! Good job.
I thought it said, "3D printed Arm" , then my mind broke when she was moving it so casually.
i feel you
i love how much adam loves the craft of cosplaying
"You are a machine!" .....was that a pun?
I love watching Adam geek out over stuff. Her work is amazing!
First cosplay! Excellent work. Comfort, function, well execution. Adam you need to take her on a an incognito walk!
Design is so cool! Modular making is such a great idea too
Next year she should be Alphonse :3
Or maybe Adam as Alfonse
I was impressed, thinking this was sheet plastic. When she said it was 3D printed, my jaw hit the floor. Well done!
"Your arm's off!"
"I've had worse"
You liar!
Dis nothin but a failed human transmutation from alchemy. Definitely had worse.
Her work is amazing
Damn she does all that in a few days and it takes me a year to do that in my Forge and on my anvil I need to get a 3D printer
To be fair, she did say a lot of it was built upon her previous designs(which is months before), with mixes and matches, as well as I'm guessing she does this for a living. Still what she made is mostly better than the costumes of some live action adaptations of cartoons and comics
Not to mention forge and anvil can take the same amount of skill or more depending on the level of autimation
Don't you dare! By hammer and tongs was all the world forged.
I did....
Took me 2 sleepless months to make a suit from 20 gauge steel. I was hammering rivets the day of con.
Ever since I was young I was in love with armour I even started two educations that teached design so i could one day build my own armour. I can design It but not yet build It, but one day I will. It Is so cool to see other people making It and talking about It.
That's pretty cool because the opening song for Full Metal Alchemist is called Melissa.
I wanted to see who else had that thought =)
i love how she has the name of op 1 of the original it just fits so well
That arm looks amazing!
What an absolutely phenomenal piece. Well done!
Play Melissa soundtrack by Porno Graffiti. Nice that her name is also the same as the opening song of FMA
Actually had to double check that. Is legitimately amazing that it's true.
Love her work. Very inspiring!
"How to show off that face?" I think she's as gorgeous as her work.
@Justin Jehoshaphat So she nailed it with a small margin of error.
@Justin Jehoshaphat Kinda the point; the FMA character she is cosplaying is a guy.
@Justin Jehoshaphat Well the character she's cosplaying is 15 at the beginning of the series.
@Justin Jehoshaphat man shit id take her out on a date clear skin, nice voice, probably has nice hair, plus she watches anime!?!?!
@@uncrstbl 12*
She is awesome! Love the design and mobility she have with it. Keep the good work
First cosplay and she's already concrunching an entire costume in under a week. The cosplayer blood runs strong within her.
She’s great, they’re going to create some awesome work together I already know it!
I can't wait for the day when prosthetics look and move like this.
Actual automail!
You can get really good movements with a 3D-printed arm, servo's and an Arduino. The downpoint is that it's not strong at all
She's such an earnest person it's wonderful to watch!
The first thing I think when I see this is "How do I learn how to do this?" Absolutely incredible.
Omg Lumecluster!!! Haven’t checked in on her for a while!
I see Edward Elric, I click! That automail is AMAZING, it was so cool to hear about your process (and see even Adam in complete awe over your techniques)! Welcome to the world of cosplay!!
Kudos to her, you go girl!!
Melissa Ng she works with the Knight Errant.
Yep... I also remember Ian showcasing a full set of gothic inspired fantasy armour in one of his videos.
exactly
That arm is so sick it fits so well
Adam looks like a really old Monkey D Luffy from one piece when he was wearing that hat
When I got to the word "monkey" I was like "well that's unecessarily rude" and then I saw the "D Luffy" and laughed
No he does not
That armor looks so cool, should made full body, awesome!
I'd love to see her design a full suit of armor that was fully enclosed! That's so rare and difficult to do, I didn't even think it was possible!
She did! I think it's the only fully enclosed 3D-printed armor set in existence.
