Pacman and Ghosts Costume Help!
I needs help D:
I'm gonna do the pacman prank at school, but I don't know how to go about making the costumes. Pipe isn't an option, and that seems to be what most people use.
I've got the fabric part down, but how would I give it shape?
D:
Cardboard maybe? ...but how would that work out :kaodizzy:
How much time do you have left if you're doing this tommorow?
Ghosts should be easy. Get blue/yellow/red sheets and then put some big googley-eyes on them. :3

Who said tomorrow o.o
I'm planning this for spring!
I want them to have shape instead of being just colored sheets draped over people S:
I tend to put in words that are not present when I read.
I am so very, very sorry.15 "♪'s" will make it up to you?
This reminds me of the people who dressed up as Tetris for Halloween. It was quite the costume!
If you plan to make Pac-Man out of fabric, interfacing might be useful. I don't know for sure that it's useful for large costumes, but it supports and gives shape to my bags.
It seems like you'll need to cut five pieces in order to make a three-dimensional Pac-Man with a nice shape and three pieces for each enemy:

Those are my guesses, but I haven't created a costume before.
I didn't think of that o:
Might work if I make them half the size (it would make it easier to run around anyway).
Consider finding a few really big cardboard boxes for the flat faces of the costumes - they're quite rigid and reasonably easy to work with, and you can usually pick them up for free at your local department store. You could then find some flexible card for the curved bits and by gluing three sheets of that together while bent in a curve you can maintain a strong rounded shape.
I made my gigantic Optimus Prime halloween costume out of boxes and card, and they turned out to be perfect for the job. My first choice of materials would've been foam rubber though, since you can easily cut that into shapes and it's light. But that costs money, so it's up to you really.
See if you can get a bunch of people to carry around paper balls to be pellets for pacman to "eat"
Make the opposite side of the ghosts blue, so when you pick up a power pellet, they turn around.
But if they're running through a hallway, there will most likely be people watching from both sides...Originally Posted by Momiji
Why not have a red and a blue ghost, then at a sheduled place, switch the ghosts, then chase the ghost instead. xDBut if they're running through a hallway, there will most likely be people watching from both sides...
Well, people are just going to have to use their imaginations.But if they're running through a hallway, there will most likely be people watching from both sides...
Or, you can make the fabric on the inside blue, so after the first runthrough, go hide for a second, and turn the costumes inside out.
Do it beside a wall on the hallway!But if they're running through a hallway, there will most likely be people watching from both sides...
Aye, that would workWell, people are just going to have to use their imaginations.But if they're running through a hallway, there will most likely be people watching from both sides...

Or have everybody wearing two costumes, one on top of the other... but my idea would be more complicated and annoying to pull off.
