Sterling Point Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Say what you will, you have to admit that the costume technique to appear four legged while really only using two of them is pretty neat. That, and they DO look like their generational ponies.One could only think of the horror that would come about trying to do a costume like that with the G4s stylized style.

It would be cool to know how they make those outfits, and maybe dress up as one....just because the costumes are so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt a back-pack like harness and straps around the waist and legs keeps the body in place. The body itself is probably made with metal rigging to keep it straight as well as plastic boning and padding. You can see the boning in the back legs that give them shape. I also believe there is a mechanism that lifts the back leg/s when the actor raises their own leg high enough. The actor's feet are in dome-shaped shoes that shape the pony's hooves. These are probably made of molded rubber, the leggings velcro on over the shoes after the actor has put the body on. The head sits either on the actor's shoulders with a rigging and harness and moves when the actor moves their shoulders and upper body or, it's sitting on their heads with a helmet-type of setup and they move it with their heads and hands. There are mouth and eye controls. Each one controlled by a different hand. Vision is through that bump/dome shape where the mane peaks at the top of their head.I'm always impressed by character actors that can pull of that kind of puppeteering. They're lip syncing, blinking, moving the head and dancing in sync with the other actors all at the same time.My brother and I were talking about making a derpy hooves costume, but we were thinking of doing a quad suit. Something like this, minus all of the puppeterring rigging might actually be more comfortable to wear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
