And to spidEMC --> sorry for not mentioning what I thing about that prop. I really DO think it looks nice. Like a lot of time went into it. Still dont know what it actually is though, except how it's called.

AME dude you can relax people that know me on this board can vouch that I don't hold any grudges or anything. I am just a happy go lucky person. It is appreciated though that you can see the work that went into it.

I actually dont try to copy other people's work I always try to have a little spice of my own to things. I don't want to be a copier I want to be a stylist of suits.

It's funny, this thread really is more than just a spiderman costume thread, it's almost a home base for a lot of activity that has branched out over the years. Most of it you wouldn't be aware of unless you actually went back through and read it all.

I agree with Orlando. Think of this as a brotherhood where like minded people can contribute and encourage others to succeed in their projects. For me, the encouragements that I have given and received have helped respawn the energy for me to finish a difficult project for me, namely a doctorates in electrical engineering. So when SpiderEMC succeeded in overcoming a difficulty in his life, that inspired me. So costuming is one thing, but try to check out the people behind the costumes. PS, Check out the other things that Spider Tim is into. :)

I went down there two times, once during the day, for like an hour, and a different day, at night, for like 3 or something. The second time I actually didn't mean to stay for soo long, but I was just being bombarded with people and couldn't take a step without someone asking for a picture. It was fun though, I think next time I'll ask for some "donations" for taking pics. All together I must have taken like 500 pics with different people.

MC2Spiderman, no offense taken at all, and Orlado is right this is a home for many costume builders, and I don't flood the board with my Knight Seeker stuff, just a little taste here and there. I even turned Stan Lee's head for him to contact me about Knight Seeker, he even checked out my site and found it to be cool. I think I have earned Knight Seeker a place in here. God knows I have been through enough to get this far. Also if you get into the book you will see how much Spidey and Knight Seeker are the same but yet so different, even with their abilities and attitudes.

Glad I could be a help in anyway I could Urban. It's kind of funny though Knight Seeker is up to about 275 readers and some have writen me back to find the book so motivational more than any other superhero character that they have ever read about. It inspired them to get back into the gym, help them focus harder on their projects to get them completed, some got into costuming because of it, and others seem to appreciate their lives and God more once they dived into the novel. The book is a trip through many emotions and you wont know until you pick it up and read it for yourself.

Wams yeah bro I like the ol'school look too :)

A lot of people were like, "tobey? ,... is that you...?" it was funny, and some people tried to stump me w/ other spidey related questions.

Probably Chicago again sometime soon, and than my city has a big festival thing during the summer that a lot of Chicago and other people come too, so I'll probably be wearing it then too.

to answer some of your questions, look on ebay for a pattern to get you started, or make your own. Look for printers in your area and ask if they do dye-sub. If your sewing blue fabric, use blue thread, if your sewing red fabric, use red thread, it actually doen's really matter. You should use a serger sewing machine, so that it will sew a good stretch seam. When you put the zippers in, make sure you sew them in while the suit fabric is stretched to the shape it will be while it's on you body. I statred out using a special liquid super glue thing, and applied it with q-tips, after a while, I found that it worked best for me to use gel super glue, and apply it in dots on the wbbing, so it will still stretch, and the gel superglue wont seep or spill or whatever, so yeah, thats it.

It's nice, but it's made for the statue only :( It's not wearable. You would have to tear it apart and remake it in order to wear it.

The hands are completely useless. They are permanantly in the web shooting position, and the fingers are tiny. The eyes are not see through and the raised webbing will come off very easily. That's just the tip of the iceberg for problems you would encounter. Trust me, don't bother.

Orlando Spider is right. You would have to do so many modifications it would better to spend a lttle more and get a wearable suit. As far as durability, the fabric is specifically made for the statue so if it stretches anymore, it loses it's color. Ive had a Blockbuster suit off the mannequin one and I used it only for display in a frame. That's all it's good for once off.

check out page 422 of this forum,
on the bottom there is a suit with a separate head piece.

this is all i could find, haven't really seen too many pics with detached masks. But i would probably want to get the detached mask, just so i can breathe a little easier and drink.

The printed webbing idea worked well. You could keep it as is or place Urethane / Latex / Acrylic webbing over the top of the webbing lines.

Hey Brad, how much you reckon this solution is going to save in time/money to make your suits? Should be much easier to knock these out I would think! Urethane wont hold up to all activities, so it would be nice to have a suit you can truly mess around in. Great Work!

Yeah true, but it'll take more time to sew these suits together. Joining the webbing lines will be a bit more difficult then just sewing up one of my old suits. But Im really happy with the results of the sample.

I have just been reviewing Sam Raimi of Spiderman 2 behind the sceens, Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings, and also Resident Evil director stuff. I just want to get their mind set. I have never tried to direct anything in my life, and now I have to come step up to the plate. I will have camera's on site and also rolling behind the sceen stuff on some days of the suiting. Once combined it should make for a great video. But also to say we did something totally different for the industry where this is not a fan movie, its an original character. That this is an actually movie from the creator that started with a novel, and also is the main character himself. It's unheard of in the industry and I am making history as far as Superheroes go.

SpiderEMC, I saved the following recorded interview from another website before it disappeared. Hope it helps. :spidey:

Spiderman Director Sam Raimi is an ordinary guy with extraordinary talent

He won't admit it, but Spider-Man Director Sam Raimi shares many of the comic hero's most appealing qualities. Like Peter Parker -Spider-Man's mild manner alter ego -Raimi is bright, soft-spoken, very polite, doesn't crave attention and always wants to do the right thing.
And, just like Peter Parker, Raimi realized early on that he was entrusted with an enormous responsibility when he was chosen to direct the first two installments of Marvel Comics most beloved superhero. For Raimi -who developed a strong cult audience after directing the 1981 horror film The Evil Dead, followed by critical acclaim with Army of Darkness and A Simple Plan -Spider-Man was the gig of a lifetime.
His passion for the character -and, as he'd be the first to admit, a tremendously talented cast and crew -helped Spidey become a box-office marvel. Both films have set numerous theatrical records.
Of course, a superhero's work is never done. Raimi is now feverishly working on Spider-Man 3, scheduled to open in 2007.

In a recent telephone interview, The Connection posed some questions to the articulate director, husband and father of four. He spoke humbly about his new superhero Hollywood status and his admiration for Peter Parker, and revealed the sticky details of his most challenging -and gratifying -job.

COSTCO CONNECTION:Both Spider-Man films have broken box-office records. Why do you think this particular comic-book franchise has connected with so many people?
SAM RAINI: It has to do with the great popularity of Stan Lee's Marvel comic book. It's been around for over 40 years, and it's had tremendous readership. People have really connected with Peter Parker and his alter ego, Spider-Man. Stan Lee created him as one of us. He wasn't this man from another planet who was like a Greek god who stood on a pedistal and wore a cape who just pretended to be a human being. This guy was a human being, with all of our faults and foibles and problems.
He was bitten by this radioactive spider and took on these powers. So we got to watch as one of us became the superhoro. It really created a tremendous degree of association with the character. Stan Lee and the writers at Marvel who followed him where wise enough to continue to make him one of us.
He always had to return from a crime-fighting episode and do his homework for school the next day. He had money problems. He had an aunt whose health he had to worry about. He, like many of us, came from a broken family. Life wasn't perfect for him.
Yet he still had this tremendous power and therefore this responsibility to do good. It really was a uniquely interesting way to approach the superhero, and one I think we all could identify with.

CC: Spider-Man2 is clearly a character-driven film, instead of being action driven. Why did you take this approach, and why does it work so well?
SR: I think we chose to make it a character-driven film because that was what always appealed to me about the comic book. The stories always had a very human element. The human drama always interested me the most.
For me the movies really are about Peter Parker, not so much about Spider-Man. I was interested in the soap-opera aspects of his relationships with the girl in his life, with his best friend, the problems with his aunt. Those family drama moments were what was so interesting to me.

CC: Were you more comfortable or less comfortable directing the second Spider-Man than the first? Why?
SR: I was much more comfortable directing the second Spider-Man because I had already formed relationships with all the actors. This is really what directing movies is all about: It's about finding the truth of little moments. I had already had a friendship with them, so I could just jump to the next level and be much more intimate with them and communicate on a deeper level.
And fortunately we all became friends, so it really helped the process of communications that we liked each other and respected one another.
Making the second one was more like already having the Ford factory set up and now we were making a different model. The machinery was in place to create the product, so it allowed me to concentrate on a much freer and deeper level on the content and the emotional qualities within the film.

CC: Which Spider-Man movie do you like better, and why?
SR: I like them both for different reasons. I like the first one because it's a lot of fun. I really enjoy the high of becoming Spider-Man with Peter Parker, the beginning of his romance. I really love that.
But I think I'm more affected emotionally by the second film. I get a chance to experience the character on a deeper level, really suffer with him and finally watch him get what he deserves in a very positive way by the end of the piece.

CC: You were kind of a childhood geek of sorts. Can you relate to Peter Parker on a certain level?
SR:(laughing)You got that right. But Peter is so much more dedicated and heroic and positive than I am. The truth is, I look at Peter Parker as a role model. Oftentimes, when you write these scenes, you have to imagine yourself as the character. So you put yourself into his head -you wonder what he wants, how he would deal with something -then you write the scene.
A funny thing happens when you get into the characters' head. You really have to imagine yourself as a kinder person, a more giving person, a more responsible person. You have to do all of this, and you start thinking, "Well, why aren't I that person anyway? Why do I have to imagine all of these positive qualities about myself? Why don't I just possess those qualities?" And so it makes you start to want to be more like the character. I wouldn't say that I'm like him in any way, but I struggle now more everyday to be like him.

CC: When did you know you wanted to become a director?
SR: I always enjoyed making movies from the moment I got hold of my first Super 8 millimeter movie camera at age 11. But, being from Detroit, I never thought it was possible as a career choice. I just thought I would be making movies through high school and college and that one day they'd take the camera away from me and stick me down at the furniture store to start selling furniture. I always thought that day would come, but I was going to put it off as long as possible.
I'm blessed that I live in this great country where there's opportunity. I came from a lower middle-class family, but we had food on the table and jobs were available, so there were ways to make some money. I don't feel like it's a tremendous accomplishment. I feel like I'm lucky that I had the opportunity.

CC: The Spider-Man films have catapulted you into directorial stardom. How do you feel about being the latest superhero of Hollywood directors?
SR: I feel surprised about it. I've been making movies professionally since 1979. And it really wasn't until 2002, with Spider-Man, that I had a hit. I just assumed that I never would have a hit movie like that. I felt like I was an unlikely fellow to have that happen to. But I'm trying not to get a swelled head over it. Because the only thing that is certain is change. I know that this will pass soon enough, but it sure is fun to watch it happen once.

CC: What do you do in your spare time?
SR: I spend all my spare time with my family. Just getting the kids ready in the morning is an intense job, as every parent knows. Then I try to spend as much time as I can talking to the kids when I get home about how the day went, what problems there are at school, what's challenging. And I try to spend time every night reading to them and with them and making sure they're doing their homework. And that pretty much takes up all of my time. It's pretty much what every parent goes through.

CC: Do you want to get back to your roots and do some films like the ones you did pre-web slinger?
SR: Absolutely. I really like a good horror movie. I love being scared and jumping out of my seat. I love getting the chills watching these movies. I love sitting in an audience when you've had something to do with making a horror movie and they all, you know, react together. That's a great feeling.

CC: 1998's A Simple Plan was a real treat. Are you proud of your work in that film?
SR: I put everything I had into that picture. I was blessed with a great screenplay by Scott Smith, who did the real heavy lifting on the film. I had the best actors I could have ever imagined working with in Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, Bridget Fonda and Brent Briscoe and others. And I just loved going to work every day because those were such great performances that those guys were giving me. I really just tried to not mess it up (laughing). Mostly I'm proud of not messing up other people's good work! Sometimes that's all a director has to do.

CC: We hear that you and your brother have been working on the story for Spider-Man3. The sense you get toward the end of Sider-Man2 is that Peter and Harry Osborn will face off in the third. Is that a fair assumption
SR: (laughing) I can't tell you that!

CC: I knew you'd say that. Well, what can you tell us?
SR: I can't tell you anything. I've been sworn to secrecy. All I can tell you is that we're going to see the next progression in the growth of Peter Parker as a human being. He's really just a boy on his way to becoming a responsible young man. He still has a lifetime of lessons in front of him.

CC: Will you be hanging up your mask after Spider-Man3, or will you keep making more of these films?
SR: I never know if they're going to want me for another one. But if the studio did make a part four, and if they'd ask me, I'd be thrilled to do it.(end)

Very cool short take. Music reminds me a little of what you hear in Battlestar Gallactica. As you've noticed, :O PVC is a lot more revealing than spandex. This suit makes a bold statement. Consider the creator of the hero!

Thats just too funny, S&M party. Thanks for posting the pics Urban, I see you really do like the suit. But PVC suits are made for whatever uses. I can get away with it becuase of my build in suit. But I have to admit I do like my regulare Lycra one better.

We started filming the short film for Knight Seeker on Friday, and it went better than I expected. I had a crew of five that day. When Monday hits I will have a crew of about 10-15 people so its a bigger task, but I am learning about the directing end of things and my people come up with suggestions that really make me think about what I am shooting, and I love it.

I will keep you guys informed on the progress and I will try to take digital pics of the filming on Monday. To all have a great weekend.

That's the same spider that they used on the studio call sheets and flyers (like the one you showed) in Spider-Man 1 and 2. It's simply the official studio spider and has no attachment to his costume, regular or black.

First of all, they wouldn't give away the spider-logo. Why do you think Tobey is completely covered up? They don't want to give away what the spider will look like. They certainly wouldn't put it on flyers that are put up all over the street.



Second, It's not odd. It's one of the original designs for the front spider that made in 2001. They used it for call sheets, press/crew passes, extra's tags and such in SM1,they stuck with it on SM2 and SM3. What's odd? It's just a logo the studio uses. Here is a press pass from SM1, same logo from SM3 stuff you posted. The title of the auction is a bit misleading it says Spider-Man 3 props, but he meant that it is from Spider-Man and 3 props from the movie set are included.

I'm not saying Nayef paints it in metallic graphite. Nayef has a lot of information and material from sony, which we can't reach. He said the official color was metallic graphite. On a picture it is really hard to compare. Too many factors play their part, as that picture is taken in very bright sunlight, the black sides are invisible.

True, Nayef does seem to have a lot of inside info. I was just thinking from all the pics I've seen it seems quite a bright silver, even in the shade.

Hey guys, sorry my inbox is full if you want to reach me email me at superman5080@hotmail.com. About the web color, I have alot of peices of the real movie suit and webs and since the webs are foam latex it requires different paints. Thats why when we replicate them in latex or urethane we have to use different paints and sometimes that means different colors. The color of the webs I made Brad are correct, but alot more solid then the movie color. The movie webs are very lightly painted and thats why they look fairly messy in some of the set pics. So its the same color, but its more solid and stands out more as silver instead of metalic graphite (only under bright lighting)....Btw speaking of insider info, I recently recieved alot of info about the spidy 3 suit and black suit. Im going to see if I can get some peices or patterns, but either way I will be replicating those soon. I will tell you that the 3rd suit has less depth then the # 2 suit. The process' used for it are cheaper and not as good in quality as used in # 2.

Orlando Spider
06-01-2006, 01:07 AM
Yeah Spidey4fun.... that looks great. A fresh/ convenient new take on the suit. I can't wait to see it printed.

With the spider, i'd try doing the light from the direct top, and then adding a darker border around the bottom edges. :) (or if the spider is already completely black, maybe lightening it *Slightly*, and adding the border. For instance... Light grey highlights- medium grey spider - black lowlights

I'm trying to make a suit that requires little to no maintenance. Urethane webbing looks great...but isnt real practical if you have lots of action to do. :up: The spiders were a request..so we'll see how they look printed.

Well, i was planning on having it finished for SDCC... however, Since i started a new job and the funds aren't there for me to go.. i've switched over to trying to finish my Link (Legend of Zelda) project first... since i already have acouple spiderman costumes, haha. So it's actually the same since you last saw it. Link however,... looks much different now.

i know this is a little OT;

I have kept this little project a secret for some time now and i figured as we're not far off it was time to let the (super) cat out of the bag.

It's printed on a 4 way stretch fabric which has taken the colors really well.

I really like that spider ALOT! , it reminds me of a Tarantuala ??? i dont know how to spell it:p but yah, cause of the big "bum" Ive always liked a lil fatter spider for the chest.

It also depends on what the spider is for? Costume purpose? Modern? or wat?

PS, would u mind if i used it for some photoshop stuff?

Sorry for the late respond.
Hmm... I'm glad you like it:up:
I designed this spider for my suit. I'm working on a spiderman suit with my own designs on it. I redesigned the front and the back spider along with the red&blue shapes/patterns. I'm not printing though, I'm using plain red&blue fabric.

For your second question: No, I don't mind:up: I would however want to see it though. It's nice to see photoshop manips

young-nyc
06-01-2006, 01:01 PM

Today was a good night for some shots of the Symbiote on the 8th floor of an office building in northwest DC. The wind was howling, and just as i finished the shooting session, horizontal lightening appeared in the sky. PS, While I was changing back to street clothes, someone else was still in the office on another floor below me. Where are the real spider webs when you need them.

in regards to the previous post i posted i apologize for 2 things. 1) i did not properly introduce myself, i have been reading all the post 510 pages worth for the last few weeks and i think all spidey suit creators are awesome best suits all around everyone:up: and 2) if i recall correctly i guess i was not supposed come on here trying to sell anything and if anyone feels upset about it i apologize and i wont do so:confused:

i have been a spiderman fan since i can remember and the reason i do not want the suit is i am too big for it and quite honestly i dont really want to go through all the hell i went through when i was a boxer to lose weight to fit in the suit not because i am not a big enough fan of spiderman but my work schedule is horrible 12 hr days sundays and tuesdays off only. well i to find someone who can really fit and enjoy a spidy costume:spidey:

All in good time, Young-nyc. After seeing what Spidey4fun did with the print of his blacksuit, and after asking the creator of a layex red spider mask if he could create a black version, you're right its now time to modify the original style black suit with 3d webbing. Right now I'm working on a real-ife artificial intelligence project that will help with space exploration, so the webbing enhancements will have to be worked in.

Spidey4fun... you have a PM.

Jacobr, that's definetly an MPM suit. And no, it's not photoshopped. (I used to think so). The lighting they used just makes it look like that.

They have different 'packages' of suits you can purchase. Suits that are sewn up without extremities, suits that are sewn, include printed webs and spiders, and then fully made up suits with raised webs, lenses, spiders, etc.

Go ahead and e-mail me your pics if you already haven't.

Thanks!

Tracy Spider
06-05-2006, 06:03 PM
Lemapp,

Not to worry. It took Spidertim a long time to create mine. 8 months to be exact. But he always comes through. He may be having personal problems or something. I'm sure as soon as he gets a chance, he will return your email. His type of work (real job not my jumper business) is similar to mine. I know how crazy it can be sometimes. Spidertim is not going to run away with your $$$. The material he uses is the best I've seen so far (very difficult to find. I've been trying to locate some for 2 years now still with no luck around my place). Anyways..just my 2 cents for Spidertim.:)

by the way, can someone please help me with the zippers? I sewed my suit by hand which took me alot of time to finish and now I'm down to the zippers. If this fails all that hard work will be for nothing... which will be the third hand sewed suit it happens to:(

how do you match the front of the suit with the back of the suit. I once tried to paste it with fabric glue (which worked fine) but the front red belt didn't meet the back red belt... I'm thinking of pasting the front belt with the zippersat the same time with the back belt. dunno if you understand...

AME, go ahead and take some pics of the suit and the detail of the areas you're putting the zipper. (If you're able to take pictures) and post them here.

We'll be able to help you best that way :)

Wow I been looking through some of the posts and this is interesting. I wantd to ask if anyone has made the black suit like in SP3 or like the 90's show? If interested in buying a suit, how much? I believe there are different suits by diff. members here with diff. styles.

Hey Im getting better...that was my intent. Here's a progression pic...not real clear..I must have moved.:(

*Awesome picture of an awesome suit!*

:)

Brad, I sent you an email in March asking about your suit, and I was very happy with the quick reply you gave me and the suit you had at the time, but I am floored by seeing this latest version of the suit, I am very impressed and awed by it. Definitely expect another email from me soon, keep up the awesome work!

Looks awesome, Brad. :up:

So you decided to go without the printed spiders?

The suit I'm currently making isnt mine and the owner didnt want printed spiders. I'll be printing one for myself with the spiders as Im a fairly active spidey ...(when I'm not having knee constructions...LOL) so I need a suit that wont fall appart...or I need to find a glue that sticks good to Urethane.

:)

When I sew the zippers I sew front side first. Then I line up the back and sew a few stitches where the belts meet just to line it all up. It;s pretty easy from there.

Brad your doing such great work on that suit. When do you ever sleep? :)

Anyway I was at Philly Wizard Con last weekend and got to hang out with my mentor Daniel Chen who is also acknowledged in my novel. He was the one that got me into costuming. Daniel is standing to the right side of this picture. Also magic man you guys may know him from back in the day he is standing to the left side in the picture. But I have to say Danny really looks the part of Spiderman, and he really had a great time at the convention. If you ever have a chance to hang out with him, he is a great person to get to know. Thanks for an awesome weekend Danny:spidey:

Ah, well i suppose i'll update myself.

The costume portion of my current project is now complete. All this leaves are the weapon/ defense attachments (shield/sword/ chainmail coloring)

After this one is squared away i'll finish up the iron spidey and take some pictures to do it justice :)

(For those interested: Current project pics.

can anyone tell me what kind of paint I can use on rubber?

can anyone tell me what kind of paint I can use on rubber?

Check out the car bodyshop paint stores, for example Mattos. Way back when, I had a 280z 2+2 with a rubber air dam that i had installed myself. in order to get it to match with the rest of the body, they suggested that i get the base paint that matched the car, then add to it this flexing agent that changes the chemical characteristics of the paint so that it bonds and flexes with the rubber.

Another possilble solution is spray krylon paint. i had a gold ThreeSipio latex mask that i spray painted silver along with some body armor to get the affect of the silver version of the android. The paint bonded and remained flexible for several years before cracking. So, which approach depends on how much wear and tear and longevity you're interested in. Good luck with the project. :spidey:
