not always the case. Some- thing like this can delayed me a lot. What do you prefer? Shooting photos or creating videos? I prefer photoshooting. I have nothing against the videos but I really like that you can edit the photos vari- ously – put some effects on it, adjust the lights, satura- tion and as a result you get amazingly looking photo, which looks almost like a screen from a game. What places do you search for your photoshoots? I am trying to find a sur- rounding that would match the cosplayed character per- fectly. So far, I have taken photos in a waterfall, on a meadow, in a manor house, in front of a church, in ru- ins… It all depends on an environment of a character I choose. It also depends on the photographer, if he is up to it and if a surrounding I need is somewhere in the neighbourhood. Some favourite Anime/ Manga, games, movies, tv shows…? My favourite anime ever (for 12 years) is Naruto, which I still watch. My favourite manga is Rurouni Kenshin, but I haven’t read it for a while. A favourite game – ac- tually the only game I have in my computer nowadays is LOL. And my favourite movie and tv show? LOTR, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead. Descbribe me your most favourite cosplay that you made. It is hard to choose one from my best cosplays. Despite Morgana being my master- piece, my most favourite co- splay is Chanter (AION). It is the most complicated one I have ever done, considering the sewing work. It is very comfortable, while wearing I can easily move and it is the only cosplay when I can have blonde hair, plus I have a shining staff. This cosplay won a third place in a com- petition. When I look back on this project, I am glad I made it and I feel satisfied. What do you say on the co- splay scene in Slovaia and Czech Republic? Originally I thought we were very behind in cosplaying, but then I saw some comic- cons abroad. It is hard to say – we are not the best, nor the worst – something in the middle. Of course, I can‘ t compare us to american co- splay scene (at least most of us), because they have dif- ferent and sometimes better 57 3
