The Lab · 07 / Baron Costume

Baron Costume

Part costume. Part puppet. All shocking.

All experiments

The original Baron costume, built in 2019. Years later I went back to it with practical photography, practical puppetry and a fair amount of technical wizardry to see what else it could do. The suit did most of the work. It always has.

Process

Nothing here was redrawn. The costume is the costume, photographed properly, then extended. Going back to a build from 2019 with a new set of tools is the clearest test I have of what the tools actually add.

What changed

The costume did not. What became possible around it did.
