You should go to some of the smaller venues around the country and see how long you can get away without being noticed. BTW loved the MAKING OF videos with Terry English. His work is AMAZING !!!!

Hey Adam I think that you are the best special effects artists I have ever seen. If you have time to chat I'd love to talk to you about costumes.

2017! :O

Aluminum is 1 thing but real armor wasn't made from that as far as I know... Try hardened steel or something like that... It's heavy but it's also very flexible when custom fitted exactly like you said... That is very important... My armor is hardened steel with mirror polish on 1 suit and normal polish on my 1st set... N let me tell you it's heavy as hell N hot ass hell... Do know Im wearing gambeson underneath it as it's more real towards 14th N 15th century armor that I'm basing off... Yh kingdom come deliverance cosplay what can I say xD

Small Note for you, if you would ever do armor again in the future like this. Knights who wore full plate armor like what you have, Wouldnt wear a full shirt of chainmail underneath their plate. Instead they would wear something called an Arming Doublet, which was a gambeson, which had chainmail woven into it to provide protection to the flex points, such as the armpits and groin. This may help to make your costume more acurate, while increasing comfort.

Admittedly, he *does* have a camera crew following him around, and he's known for hiding himself at conventions.

his gonna try different accents next up

Who is adam savage? Im mean, is he famous our something? An actor? Or just a youtuber?

@@joaquinorefice6266 i done know dis my frist vid

@@joaquinorefice6266 he's the guy from mythbuster

Yep. Totally invisible.

I'd imagine that events like this have camera crews around for promotional video's. But yea when they are following one particular person it's not hard

Well, they don't know it's Adam Savage, could be a guy with a lot of money or a KZfaqr

There are cameras everywere

There are photo shoots everywhere at large conventions. I've run into more than one before

and the guy with a shoulder camera behind him

Pretty much how I found d piddy

Youd be surprised tha quality of some costumes. I've seem movie quality cosplays not win at comicon seattle before.

@@nubreed13 sad moment

@@nubreed13 I visited Dutch Comic Con a few times and joined the competition once, it was fun. The outfit I was planning to wear the next time (eventually I did not go) was a dress I'd bought somewhere, so I wouldn't have won the costume-competition either way. But they had totally changed the rules by that time and said; 'You need to register yourself a few months before. Then you need to have people vote for your costume online. The more people you convince (a.k.a. the bigger channel you have) the more votes you get and the more you might be able to join. Then you need to proof that your stuff is handmade, but materials can be (and have to be) expensive and it needs to have costed 'so-so-many' hours. Then there was a rule about competing online with the others, having to promote Comic Con and...I don't even know anymore. In the end, there'd be 3 winners (instead of a few more) and instead of Worbla and honour, the prices were a 2-week-trip to Ibiza with a luxury 5 star hotelroom and some activities, which ofcourse you had to film yourself enjoying and say; 'Thank you Comic Con!' a lot of times. Anyone that did not commit hours and hours to this competition, was out. This way, it ruined everything for amateurs and only left the opportunity for the rich and for the professionals. And therefore I decided not to attend Comic Con again, at least not in the near future. It has been so commercialised, I feel like I'm (unable to be) paying them to be able to purchase their items and attention.

@Reggaeman YO Not as easy as you would think. He usually has his camera crew nonchalantly film from an incognito type distance. ;)

@Reggaeman YO also lots of filming on the floor anyway. The guy with the full rig who filmed him was probably just comicon crew

Anyone who’s costume looks better than the original

Step 3: find cameras, a phone can be considered a camera

Doesn't he have certain way he walks? Jamie on Mythbusters always mentioned how goofy Adam moves.

*discreet

*dooskriet

There's also some sense to it, if you scream HI ADAM SAVAGE I LOVE MYTHBUSTERS!!!!! then it's going to be an instant mob scene and the end of your interaction, if you're quiet and calm enough about it, you can probably get a couple minutes of just talking with Adam Savage. If you can keep your cool, it seems like it pays off in a much better experience.

Of course that is very true, but I still noticed everyone seems to get that. Makes the experience all the better.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone yelling that would cause people to jump to Adam's rescue, telling the person not to be so rude. People at Comicon are nice.

That's one of several theories. Some say it evolved from showing an empty hand (that type of salute dates back before there were full body armours), some say it symbolises removing one's hat, and some say it represents Vectron's Kindly Claw.

You had to lift your visor to let the other person see who you are. Lower ranks would had to lift first.

I heard it was so knights crusading in Jerusalem could block the sun from their visors

I heard it was from an ancient Zoroastrian royal tradition that involved the new king striking himself upon the forehead for good luck and a prosperous reign.

I heard it's from an ancient Klingon tradition of scratching your face to show you have the blood of the warrior caste flowing through you. Another theory, more grounded I think, is that it's based on the procedure of establishing a telepathic link in order to exchange credentials by the incognito lizards that rule the Earth.

Me too!

Now, imagen when you have to fight in it. I mean with a real aketon and chainmail under it. Not 1.2 mm, but the full 2.5 and 3.0 mm harded steel and battle ready sword....

​@@georgewillems32 Actual knight armor is about as heavy as modern combat gear, plus it's spread across the entire body and personally fitted.

​@@georgewillems32 i can only recommend watching Videos in KZfaq from people going into a Gym in knight Armor or people doing stunts and stuff it's really interesting and you can See Very Well how good Knights actually could move

Legit, I was just thinking that XD

dont think so,but I am sure there are few people asking to everybody they can't see the face of

I wouldn't be surprised

They probably recognize norm 😜

Even if they turned out not to be Adam, it would be one hell of a compliment.

Have him disguise as himself and have all the interns following him

Yes please

Which? The Original, Dark, or the Lily one?

@manifestation of Gudako's insanity Essentially the Saber-Verse, wish the Kaleidoscope would let us see that.

First thought too lmao

I mean he could always just proto-saber.

*CLANK*

How's it ironic? Even actual contemporary plate armour was comfortable for knights to wear. That's the point. If it inhibited the knight's movement he'd get shafted on the battlefield.

Sam Halstead it's ironic because of the common perception that armor is heavy and unwieldy.

It was far from full armor...60 lbs from full :)

In the TED talk Wilson referenced, Adam discusses how he wore a full suit of armour to school for halloween (I think?) that was hot and heavy and awful but Adam loved it because it was his suit of armour. Then he passed out! That's why it'd be ironic. :)

+Crypto Anders Nah that thing weighed about 20 And since 50-60 lbs is what full armor weighed, it's only a bit more than half off

I would say good-knight to the opponent!

kebman totally Peter Griffin kinda sayin’

Check out m1 fighting

Not if your on a horse.

Also that’s a two for one because a female horse is a mare

Goblin slayer?

Smol Crusader77 yes

me to

Yip

I've been trying to see if the dents in the armour sets line up... Is this actually the armour from the series they're just putting out? Poor Terry having to wait that long for coverage

We hear that they do!

Sorry im in 2020

Would be as entertaining as Jamie going as himself, probably the funniest Incognito episodes too!

Bryan Cranston did it with a Heisenberg Mask

You do know they don't like each other that much right?

yeah, their friendship was "professional" but i think it's not to the point that they would hate each other. they just don't want to work with each other in the future.

kimm Yea hate probably isn't the word they would use, they just have different ideas on how to work and are at times polar opposites. They both have said that it made them push each other creatively but as we can imagine it could be quite a stressful environment.

or just one huge one, like those cute Minions kids at the end :3

u have the best profile pic and and name cheesus. and i agree

Thank you very much. My profile is the result of too much tanning, and I am named after my godfather.

Cat Why would you?

we know

Someone should Cosplay as Adam....

@Aj Fioritti I hate you.

If your cameraman is asian-ish dude, you must be Adam. You can also guess it's Adam, because his suits are over the top quality

BONUS: It wouldn't be hot!

Kellofkindles so, what you're saying is pull a Charlie Chaplin?

It has already been done.

Lol I think Batman did that once in the silver age.

You mean like that time that Brian Cranston had a Walter White mask at a panel?

John Johnson • I just say "yes." They can't tell anyway, and it makes their day. (Until they get home and watch this vid.) 😉😊

That's honestly like the greatest compliment you could give someone at comic con by asking if they're Adam, that means the asker thinks that your costume is so good that Adam Savage himself put it together :)

John Johnson I doubt too many as he probably sticks out like a sore thumb considering he has a cameraman following him

Melkor Morgoth he already has

Very Big Ron really?

That would be fantastic.

KZfaq search "adam savage incognito ringwraith", it should come right up, it was ComicCon 2012. Another instance of having a nice weapon to go with the costume, and leaving it behind.

I'd say he'd have a low sneak score, as that armor was really loud when he moved.

The Ginga Ninja There's an ability in sneak that eliminates the armor penalty for sneaking, but doesn't actually affect the sound effects the armor generates.

Your voice is not of the few, but the many

Yeah, but Game of Thrones is all about killing off important characters, and shiny steel armor makes it harder to kill the knight who’s wearing it. At least in that fantasy setting.

@@Puppet_Gamer Shame really,in the earlier seasons the Knights were actually decked out in beautiful,full plate armor that actually worked.They then proceeded to give them Hollywood armor that just looks fancy and doesn't work.

You also would not be wearing a full maille shirt underneath, just a gambison with maille voiders.

the real downside of plate armour was its cost.

Ah another intellectual of armor

NekoVeil actually some knights did wear full mail under the breast plate, especially in Italy.

The amount of mail under plate was a mater of how good the plate was and how much it covered. That being said, it varied according to time and place. The overall evolution, however, was first to put plates over mail, then the plates overlapped and articulated, then the mail became redundant and was only attached to the gambeson (padded coat) in places like the armpits, the inside of the elbows, and the skirt, where the plate did not cover.

Full plated armor can weigh much more than that what you smokin?

@@ombnonsensicalnuts7875 At best, full plate armor is 60 pounds bro.

@@ombnonsensicalnuts7875 Around 25kg/50lb is the average for extant suits of armour, going up to 35kg/70lb for the very heaviest suits designed to be worn on horseback. Highly recommend any of the lectures by Dr Tobias Capwell (there are several on KZfaq) if you're interested in learning more!

The line was too long....they didn't want to wait, that's all.

Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool.

Clarence Worley Brienne of fucking Tarth.

lol i think you meant incognito, incogneton sounds like the name of a decepticon that disguises themselves solely as minivans to spy on people "keep your voices down, that could a decepticon" "nah, it's a kia soul, who'd squeeze into a weird little square like that? uncomfortable"

Best Arthur movie because of stuff like that. The knights riding through the apple grove while all the blossoms fall is one of the best scenes in the film.

Haha! That is what I plan on doing when I'm able to afford a steel version, that a company happens to make here in the U.S. which is also historical, called the "Discerner" :). I'll have to display it in such a way that I can bathe it in green lights! "Excalibur . . . I call, on your power".

Not as much as you'd think.

SaveMe GrilledCheesus haha fml...i fixed it. ...

One has a chance to become a knight and the other is not. I think.

well vassal is pretty much any feudal subject of a lord or this case knight. Squire is pretty much the personal assistant of the period. In that at the time of said personal assistant involved, carrying shield, helping the knight with his armor and taking care of armor. Actually being vassal and squire are completely unrelated, though not mutually exclusive. The squire could be also a vassal, if the squire was for example a son of one of the knights subjects thus oving feudal loyalty to him. However at times squires were sons of other knight/ other prominent people and did not ove feudal loyalty to the knight (outside of one oath of service given as part of being a squire).

Ari Takalo good summary. That's what I was I was refering to in my original comment 👍

Squire = knight in training. Acts as assistant to his knight.

Anaru Carroll, I have no idea if the spelling changed between now and in the past. And I have no idea if Squire is the correct spelling to use. I'm French ^^"
