I love how even the "professional" ends up doing things like us normals when your cosplay breaks and you panic. ...iPhone 4! You served your purpose well! I apologize for using you to spread out the hot glue for my ears. Your camera never did work right after that. Should've used the other edge.
+Ouroboros I've helped make costumes before. Convention in florida. Instead of a freezer pack itself. The person on their waist (inside the costume) had a few bottles of water, a couple cold ones and a couple iced ones. So throughout the day they could drink the liquid ones, and the ice ones would gradually melt. Bottom of the insulated lunch box that the bottles wer ein was pulled out, screened over, and had a couple CPU fans in it chilling the whole inside of the costume. Apparently it still wasn't enough so halfway through the con, about 6 more CPU fans were installed circulating air around the head. Though the little umbrella on Totoro would have gone a long way to shading the interior.
Most setups I've seen do cycle air from the outside. But that only works so well in Floridian summer heat. A source of cold and hydration is definitely necessary.
He said just 14 hours. And he has uploaded a video where he explains everything in great detail if I understood correctly. He said it's quite simple to build.
To be clear, what is simple and quick to a man with all of the tools and experience built up over years does not necessarily translate for everyone else
This, for starters, is the evolution of the revenant costume and considering how toughtful with his designs adam can be I would doubt that he just decided to make this costume on the fly. He surely didn't pick his materials in one evening nor did he design the costume withouth some research, seeing as he loves that movie and wouldn't want to make a bad costume. We know he has spent years improving or resesearching some of his props and i don't think he just woke up one day with this design ready. If anything, he went fast with the "construction" because of the previous preparations. We will see when we have that video online...
If you watch the build video he actually says he'd been doing little plans in his head for weeks, thinking about what material he would need and such, and it only took one day to build because of how prepared he actually was this /one/ time
Adam Savage is THE man. I wish I could be him when I grow up, but that's just a wish because I'm neither a genius nor do I love studying science and math.
The funny thing is that he sort of backed into the science & math stuff. I've seen some videos where he talks about it. They were pretty inexperienced at making precise, likely-to-work-first-time-or-even-twentieth-time stuff in the beginning of the run of Mythbusters. There's sort of a meta story arc across all of Mythbusters' run, which is them getting better at designing experiments and doing things well in the first couple of tries (a lot of which is hidden, but you can tell it's happening because they get to try trickier stuff with more expensive retries). He's said many times on camera that what they set out to do was try to determine if stuff could possibly be true or not, and they sort of figured out experimental design and science by trial and error (science is just writing it down, right? -- well, also making it repeatable/predictable). So . . . you may not get a TV show. But you can kind of point your hobbies in the direction of making things, or finding out how the world works, or whatever is interesting. And getting better at anything is a kind of science of its own (try something, see if it works, decide how to do better, repeat). I've found the Tested build (especially the older ones) pretty inspirational. I've started trying to tell myself that if the internet is boring, that means it's time to go try to make something myself. At least that's kind of how I see it, I could be wrong, I'm just a stranger on the internet.
Ha! Genius, math, science and even money... such things help, but are absolutely unnecessary, you can do quite a lot only using basic math, cardboard that somebody else was gonna throw out, and the colective experience that the internet provides (You just gotta ask in the right places, like most hobby specific forums) which ends up becoming experience that you can use in future projects. You just need to want to make something that you like or are interested in, the motivation and willingness to do so and, of course, that damn limiting factor: Time.
I never heard of Totoro until this video. Watching how excited and happy people were to see him, Totoro must be something pretty special. It sure made some people very happy to get a photo op with him and that felt good to see.
Your homework is to watch every Studio Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki movie. :P _My Neighbor Totoro_ is the obvious choice based on this cosplay, but _Howl's Moving Castle_ and _Kiki's Delivery Service_ are simply fantastic as well. Oh! and _Princess Mononoke_. I haven't personally seen them all yet, but...okay, I'm going to stop gushing now. xD
May your swords stay sharp! (mysss29) I'll keep an eye out for the titles you mention. I have a colleague that is well versed in such matters and will plumb her expertise.
Shouldn't call him a big kid. If you look at his previous works including this one, these are all things that we grew up watching. This is more like reminiscing. It's like retro gaming, we're re-living great classics. I was borned in the 70s. And I approve of this.
I think my favorite thing about this costume, besides it being adorable and having a camera, is that it was flexible enough that he could squeeze through a doorway in it, making it more realistic! Getting to see that was delightful! Love it!
anything from ghibli actually! The last year I wore a kaonashi costume and everyone loved it. (exept the time i used it for halloween to stare at people in the party haha) That was my first cosplay and was pretty easy to make. So much fun doing it! (sorry for bad english)
I once convinced a guy friend of mine to NOT wear a Ghibli cosplay because he would get bombared by women and make his girlfriend jealous. He wore it the next year after they broke up and ended up getting a date at the con.
I would like Norman Chan to just walk the floor following random Cosplayers. Everyone would be thrown into a loop. Meanwhile Adam walks the floor as himself.
I've always wondered that. Seeing norm and a whole crew suspiciously following a cosplayer is a dead giveaway. But then again if no one ever finds out who Adam is then it kinda ruins the fun.
wildsmiley Studio Ghibli has a museum in Japan with a full-sized catbus that children play on constantly, and a moss-covered broken robot standing in a garden on the roof. Just like in Laputa: Castle In The Sky.
I was soo out of it at that moment. My goal was to find Adam to have him sign a ring box.. Was not disappointed! twitter.com/donttrythis/status/784855730977382401
Loving this! Totoro is one of my all time favorites and I've always respected Adam Savage for his creativity and overall optimistic and energetic personality. I've watched this with a huge grin!
When you had to squeeze through the door a when you were going into the changing room, I about spit my drink out lmao. I don't know why that was so funny but it was.
I thought there'd be a big reveal of the person inside, at which people people would freak out. Maybe it's more special given that people have pictures of Adam Savage secretly in a Totoro costume :)
Adam, I am most impressed by you wearing long sleeves and jeans under a giant fur costume. That is some serious commitment as I know how hot some of those convention buildings can get. And the build was amazing. You make this world a better place every single day just by being you. Thank you.
As a Cosplayer, or what I call 'Coser', I really appreciate individuals like Adam... His enthusiasm, 'child-like' attitude and spirit is what empowers me to continue to do what I love doing: sharing my wealth as an Anime character, enriching people's lives with fun and delight in today's world filled with crisis and despair, that needs Peace, Joy, and Happiness... I shall keep Cosplaying until I can do no more... Thank you, Adam... Thank you in the good works that you do!
I've been vaguely looking at the Totoro costume for a day now, and decided to check it out. Then I realized Adam Savage was the person in the costume. Bonus! This is cool.
The part where Totoro deflated, and a mildly sweaty Adam Savage escaped out the inside like a TaunTaun, was terrifying, but in general, heartwarming, 10/10
Kelly Green Or Haku as a dragon, even though it would need two people, probably, or some creative enginering, maybe back feet or front feet that can stand up, a kind of inner skeleton and some bendable cloth material, like the colored, foldable cloth tubes children get when they're young, which they can crawl through.
As soon as he started talking, I was like "Emergency? Where's the hot glue?" Hot glue is everything. Carry it with you and you'll be able to solve 80% of life's problems.
Hot glue and duct tape are indispensable when it comes to cosplay and any sort of costume in general. It also helps to keep some duct tape closeby, just incase of any cosplay malfunctions like ears falling off the costume itself. A lot of comic cons have Cosplay "medics" in-case of such emergencies for anyone who wasn't prepared for that very scenario. (I've attended several comic cons myself and I have seen all sorts of wardrobe or prop malfunctions.
Lol you just had to go there? :D At least i stayed just with pretty standard "Totoro gave birth to Adam and it was *savage* sight to see", approach.. but anyways kudos, kudos to you sir...
The first time I watched My neighbor Totoro I also watched Spirited away. Two great movies on one night, and Adam Savage has made costumes for both of these movies.
No, theese are no tears, I’m not crying YOURE CRYING!!! My eyes are just...sensitive. But the thought of my totoro loving three year old twins meeting a custome like that and convincing them that totoro is actually REAL... that just blows my whimsy-fuse in the best way.
Here's how Adam Savage made this Totoro costume: ruclips.net/video/L9O3KWrvxKA/видео.html
Adam is a furry change my mind
My coworker want to be Majin Buu, do you think you can make one so I could show him?
Do you pay people to recognize you?
Ok
Awesome
"How did you figure it out?"
"I follow you on Twitter"
lmfao i loved that part
No
Fred Rogers yes
Which minute?
@@eatmypanart 4:05
My favorite bit of this whole thing was when you kind of squeezed gently through the doorway at the end....that just felt very Ghibli-esque
Aidan Walker did you here the the fart when he walked in also
Dude me too!!! I friggen lovers that part!! 😍😍😍 it was so cute!! I replayed it so many times!!
We need a gif
I heard farts
I know, right? It was icing on the cake
What I love about this cosplay is that it made everyone so genuinely happy to see it waddling around.
I just watched the movie for the first time today. How could I have missed out on so much?
@@katylepetsos7512 what I love most about Tonari no Totoro is the fact that even today any kid will enjoy it.
**goes to put costume on**
**part of the costume breaks**
Yes, a true cosplay!
It's always the most craziest part during cosplay when a part of your cosplay breaks. It's the best
This is why I'm thankful for the Cosplay Repair Station.
At least the most I needed this year were safety pins.
"Time to fix this broken thing"
*Proceeds to use phone as a mallet*
Shady Sun HA HAAH HA!!
Must be that otterbox xD
The moment you realize Adam wasn't lying when he wrote the book "Every Tool's a Hammer"
I love how even the "professional" ends up doing things like us normals when your cosplay breaks and you panic.
...iPhone 4! You served your purpose well! I apologize for using you to spread out the hot glue for my ears. Your camera never did work right after that.
Should've used the other edge.
If you can't use your phone as a hammer then what's the point?
all adults should be like Adam, mature but never losing that inner kid.
Id do it if it paid the bills. And...if I had a little more talent lol. It certainly takes a bit of skill to do what they do
@@Townsandtaleshistory i think you missed HIS point or never had to worry about being able to pay your bills.
Yess
Oh boy someone here never went to college and been desensitized to the feeling of true happiness ever since epic gamer style
David Dylan just like draw w jazza
"little fan to keep me cool" a definite must, especially with something that fluffy.
Although it must be pointed out, Adam's pretty cool to begin with
+Ouroboros
I've helped make costumes before. Convention in florida.
Instead of a freezer pack itself. The person on their waist (inside the costume) had a few bottles of water, a couple cold ones and a couple iced ones. So throughout the day they could drink the liquid ones, and the ice ones would gradually melt. Bottom of the insulated lunch box that the bottles wer ein was pulled out, screened over, and had a couple CPU fans in it chilling the whole inside of the costume.
Apparently it still wasn't enough so halfway through the con, about 6 more CPU fans were installed circulating air around the head.
Though the little umbrella on Totoro would have gone a long way to shading the interior.
Linkxsc I could suggest to add a duct for fresh outside air. Thought I'd guess the comic on floor is pretty toasty anyway with all those people.
Most setups I've seen do cycle air from the outside. But that only works so well in Floridian summer heat.
A source of cold and hydration is definitely necessary.
totes bra
Its simple to find adam, just search for the most complicated looking costume
That's the approach I will take when I go to NYCC lol
Or the guy being followed by Norm and photographers.
Next time Adam goes in a giant box.
tr3nta it's Adam savage. he is sciences Ken bone
A complicated costume and a camera man following him.
4:44 when he squeezes through the door is so cute and fun, idk why but it's my favorite part of the video
i think he let out a long held back fart after her got through too lol
"Ooooh, just waiting for the bus."
ADAM. STOP BEING PRECIOUS
Omg I took a picture of him at the con didn't know that was him haha. That's so cool.
wow!
Are you in the vid?
Zeo1229 no
@Eevee Studios! what
@Liam Berg (STUDENT) seeing as how RUclips doesn't allow that no.
"How long did it take you to make that?"
Classic cosplay convention ice breaker.
Couple days and the guy thinks he's joking
He said just 14 hours. And he has uploaded a video where he explains everything in great detail if I understood correctly. He said it's quite simple to build.
To be clear, what is simple and quick to a man with all of the tools and experience built up over years does not necessarily translate for everyone else
One of the best cosplays I've seen... and it was made in 14 hours....
yup...that is...the legendary Adam Savage :)
To be fair, It probably took months of preparation before the build.
Why would it be unfair not to mention that. It didn't take months of preparation to make it but even if it did - it didn't - fairness is not in play.
This, for starters, is the evolution of the revenant costume and considering how toughtful with his designs adam can be I would doubt that he just decided to make this costume on the fly.
He surely didn't pick his materials in one evening nor did he design the costume withouth some research, seeing as he loves that movie and wouldn't want to make a bad costume. We know he has spent years improving or resesearching some of his props and i don't think he just woke up one day with this design ready.
If anything, he went fast with the "construction" because of the previous preparations. We will see when we have that video online...
If you watch the build video he actually says he'd been doing little plans in his head for weeks, thinking about what material he would need and such, and it only took one day to build because of how prepared he actually was this /one/ time
Totoro is officially the best costume, people are super happy to see you, you get hugs and everyone loves you. 😄
I bet Adam was smiling in every pic xD
I wore a helmet that completely obscured my face, and I also found myself smiling every time someone took my picture XD
I'm pretty sure he was.
the way he squeezed through the door towards the end was so cartoonish
Very like Totoro!
i laughed at it, it looked so cool
my first thought was Terminator 2
Old Bird Wing I laughed so hard when he squished through the door at the end. 😂
Old Bird Wing so cute!
Well.. that makes sense why a camera crew was filming me when I asked to take a picture lol
Andrea Buelo What day of comicon was it that he was there?
PixelMan Games That was Friday
Andrea Buelo
+
so why did you think the crew was there?
My Neighbor Totoro is an amazing movie. Everyone should see it at least once.
Yes!
It just got bumped a few places up my watchlist :)
micah fuller or the camera crew behind him (including Norm)
whoever says they don't Totoro is evil and I don't think I can be friends with them.....
Agree! :)
The joy on people's faces! Without a doubt, this is my favorite "Incognito".
The best part of the video was when you squished through the door.
That's it. Next year i'm going as a gigantic soot sprite.
i just realized that there are soot sprites in both totoro, and spirited away. are they in the same universe?
Philly Cheesesteak I'm not sure, but it makes me happy to think that they might be connected in some small way to one another.
Yea, same artist :)

All of them are awesome. I really mean it, even the less known ones.
Beware before watch The Grave of Butterflies. That's not a happy one. 😢
I love how they're playing the "fat guy tuba music" LMFAO
I kind of wished they had played "Let's Go Stroll" instrumental, the music at the opening of the film
JoAnn Abbott it would probably get copyrighted
At 5:56 it really fit, look to the right. Holy shit, she is wider than him!!
traumatized..Totoro gave birth to an Adam Savage.
Toronto game birth to *a damn savage*
@@phuuc8075 I didn't know a Canadian city gave birth to a savage
Like that one scene in Ace Ventura 2 when he gets trapped in the animatronic rhino.
Thats was adam SAVAGE !
Adam, you're just a big kid at heart. Keep it up man. ^-^
you're*
HAHAHA! He actually changed it! That's a first!
We are all just big kids.

Eden Jay Collins Thanks! @KevinClose
Kevin Close your Tormund cosplay is amazing dude, please never harm that majestic beard

Hell yeah, especially with the beard and hair looking great. :D
I just thought he was just a furry ginger
I think my favorite thing about this costume, besides it being adorable and having a camera, is that it was flexible enough that he could squeeze through a doorway in it, making it more realistic! Getting to see that was delightful! Love it!
For the love of God... HE FORGOT THE TAIL!!!!
But really Amazing costume 10/10 super impressed.
- _How did you figure out?_
**Norm standing the whole time beside him** ^_^
no he wasn't adam said a few years ago how the more recognizable members of tested are usually a give away so he has less recognizable people film him
Moon Man you can see norm is behind him, filming, when he gets in the elevator. ^_^
Damian Reloaded he was probably just going to comic con to walk around on his own
"I follow you on Twitter"
Ah, hot glue.... a cosplayer's best friend.
the voice he puts on when answering people XD love it. what a guy!
I dunno why his video makes me emotional lol. It's just so wholesome.
I guess it’s because he’s making so many people happy. 💛
4:45 the part where Totoro squeezes through the doorframe is just too adorable.
so Totoro is a chick magnet? have you had so many hugs before?
hahaha they LOVE totoro!
anything from ghibli actually! The last year I wore a kaonashi costume and everyone loved it. (exept the time i used it for halloween to stare at people in the party haha) That was my first cosplay and was pretty easy to make. So much fun doing it! (sorry for bad english)
David García ahahha I imagine that, who would love to see a kaonashi staring at you!!!)))))
Sharrel Wright, he meant it should have been capitalized, which counts as a misspelling.
I once convinced a guy friend of mine to NOT wear a Ghibli cosplay because he would get bombared by women and make his girlfriend jealous. He wore it the next year after they broke up and ended up getting a date at the con.
You should totally cosplay as Jamie Hyneman next. haha
There was an episode of mythbusters where they wore face masks of each other. ("Mission impossible mask").
3:53 Totoro sees modern anime
Haha "Ok... so, we should start to make our way back."
that girl at 2:40 with her little gleeful 'yaaaaay'... rofl~ xD
I. LOVE. THIS. SO. MUUUCH!! 😄😍
I didn't even know Adam was a Studio Ghibli fan XD
His first famous cosplay was No Face
I would like Norman Chan to just walk the floor following random Cosplayers. Everyone would be thrown into a loop. Meanwhile Adam walks the floor as himself.
That would make a funny video-
I've always wondered that. Seeing norm and a whole crew suspiciously following a cosplayer is a dead giveaway. But then again if no one ever finds out who Adam is then it kinda ruins the fun.
Norm is usually not with him on the floor anymore because of that same reason, he's too well known.
Next year, do a Princess Mononoke Cosplay!
I don't know why, but I'm just cracking up so hard imagining what that would look like XD
Oh god XD
He could totally do an ashitaka cosplay with the straw cape and red coif to stay incognito.
Next time, go as Catbus! That would probably need 2 people, though.
wildsmiley Studio Ghibli has a museum in Japan with a full-sized catbus that children play on constantly, and a moss-covered broken robot standing in a garden on the roof. Just like in Laputa: Castle In The Sky.
Perfect theme music. I love the love at comic-cons. Never have felt so at peace and relaxed around a large group of people.
i just watched my neighbor totoro for the first time the other day and oh my god this wouldve brought me so much joy to see
someone shit their pants as they saw the the totoro enter at 4:46
lmao it sounds like a wet fucking fart
Miserable pile of secrets lmao
Yeah, it has gotta be that white-haired person 30 feet behind the cute Asian chick.
Can you imagine him sneezing inside that furry tent?!
i have a big grin on my face throughout this entire video
OMG yes!
That Tormund cosplay tho'
I was soo out of it at that moment. My goal was to find Adam to have him sign a ring box.. Was not disappointed!

Loving this! Totoro is one of my all time favorites and I've always respected Adam Savage for his creativity and overall optimistic and energetic personality. I've watched this with a huge grin!
The fan reactions to this made me smile, everyone was so happy to see Totoro.
Tormund is just too crafty to be fooled
;)
I love how many people were so excited to see Totoro & couldn't help but hug him.
All the people excited to have taken picture with Totoro....
Little did they know... they took a picture with ADAM SAVAGE!
I love how he just squeezes through the door and is instantly fat again XD
I love when celebrities love thing I love. Wow...that's was an interesting sentence.
bmaster461603 lots of love.
Some sort of vocal modulator would have been a cool add-on! I'm going to do that in my non-existent Totoro suit!
His dopey incognito Totoro voice is adorable.
When you had to squeeze through the door a when you were going into the changing room, I about spit my drink out lmao. I don't know why that was so funny but it was.
His next disguise should be Jaime.
I thought there'd be a big reveal of the person inside, at which people people would freak out. Maybe it's more special given that people have pictures of Adam Savage secretly in a Totoro costume :)
OMG TOTORO IS MY FAVOURITE
YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS
MINE TOO
Love how he is so into Ghibli. No face then Totoro. It is really awesome!
I love his energy. Whenever I’m down or bored I watch him, he’s so dope
I really want to dub this over with the appropriate music from the Totoro soundtrack, but it would probably get pulled down immediately..
Man gotta love this dude’s energy. Respect for brining Totoro to life ✊ 💯
You literally made me cry, its so cute :D
This just makes me smile and cry tears of joy . I miss comic cons so much. The happiness and the passion that lives there
Adam, I am most impressed by you wearing long sleeves and jeans under a giant fur costume. That is some serious commitment as I know how hot some of those convention buildings can get. And the build was amazing. You make this world a better place every single day just by being you. Thank you.
I love the footage of the fur moving when you bounced!
2:26
Dude; "How long did it take you to make that?"
Adam; "Couple days."
That's your first clue it's Adam under there...
I imagine the internal structure is similar to the Revenant bear?
Yeah he mentioned in the last or second to last podcast how his next incognito is based on that design, but improved.
As a Cosplayer, or what I call 'Coser', I really appreciate individuals like Adam... His enthusiasm, 'child-like' attitude and spirit is what empowers me to continue to do what I love doing: sharing my wealth as an Anime character, enriching people's lives with fun and delight in today's world filled with crisis and despair, that needs Peace, Joy, and Happiness... I shall keep Cosplaying until I can do no more... Thank you, Adam... Thank you in the good works that you do!
Totoro was what got me into anime as a child. Seeing this I couldn't help but smile through the whole thing
How did I figure out? I ask every cosplayer if this is Adam! One day it will be the good one!
Adam got all the cute girls. Lol
RIP Michiyo Yasuda. Such a sad loss.
I've been vaguely looking at the Totoro costume for a day now, and decided to check it out. Then I realized Adam Savage was the person in the costume. Bonus! This is cool.
The part where Totoro deflated, and a mildly sweaty Adam Savage escaped out the inside like a TaunTaun, was terrifying, but in general, heartwarming, 10/10

You should make a radish spirit costume
Kelly Green Or Haku as a dragon, even though it would need two people, probably, or some creative enginering, maybe back feet or front feet that can stand up, a kind of inner skeleton and some bendable cloth material, like the colored, foldable cloth tubes children get when they're young, which they can crawl through.
hot gluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue
It's the duct tape of costuming. Sometimes actual duct tape is, too. :-)
As soon as he started talking, I was like "Emergency? Where's the hot glue?"

Tony Miller A small tube of Superglue works wonders, too.
things like this make me feel so good inside. like look at how happy everyone is
Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman have put more smiles on my face over the years than any TV people I can think of.
Suggestion for costume: some Moomin-character
he made so people happy it's so cute
The official moment i know i'm too old. Everyone knows what it is and i'm like "What is a Totoro?" #GetOffMyLawn

Lol you just had to go there? :D At least i stayed just with pretty standard "Totoro gave birth to Adam and it was *savage* sight to see", approach.. but anyways kudos, kudos to you sir...
Everybody LOVES Totoro...
I love how he softly fits throught the door :D
The first time I watched My neighbor Totoro I also watched Spirited away. Two great movies on one night, and Adam Savage has made costumes for both of these movies.
I think the legs should be shorter so the proportion is cute. But nice effort!
originally it was going to be, but then he realized that all the weight was on his head, so the shoulder structure raised the suit :)
I can just hear the thoughts in Adam's head. Oh crap, my suit broke. I need to MacGyver the shit out of this.
I think that exact thought has gone through every cosplayer's head at least once XD
haha! nothing gets past tormund fookin giantsbane! XD
ha! Sadly, Adam wasn't as familiar with Tormund, but some of the people he was with knew exactly who I was dressed as lol

Kevin Close whaaaat?! that's pretty shocking that adam's not a got fan.
bluetextonwhitebackground Because every one should have your opinion right?
4:45 . The way he fits through that door killed me XD
No, theese are no tears, I’m not crying YOURE CRYING!!! My eyes are just...sensitive. But the thought of my totoro loving three year old twins meeting a custome like that and convincing them that totoro is actually REAL... that just blows my whimsy-fuse in the best way.
