DO NOT HEAT PVC WITHOUT WEARING A RESPIRATOR. I was unaware before making this video that heated PVC releases carcinogenic vapors.

I don't know why I'm so obsessed with the name "Centaur of Attention" lol. Great video!
Lillian McCarty Yeah I know! The name is just so good and eye catching!
one doesn't need no reason to appreciate a pun :D
it's because it sounds like "center of attention" and also looks similar
It _is_ a great name for a book. Haha.
I’m surprised Piers Anthony hasn’t come up with that title yet.
Literally don’t know why this was recommended to me but cool idea and execution.
Also thanks for the boatload of likes
same !
Axel Philip I think I know why this was recommended to me
*looks over to all my faux fur*
Yep that’s why
Yeah CZcams reccomended really just threw a curve ball as usual
Freedom Man same but i think its cause i watch to many stuff like a moving tail,opening wings and changing dresses
Same lmao
My dumbass forgot that centaurs had four legs, and I was like "how tf she gonna stand if the back legs are all the way back there
Same tbh
LmaoXD
Seth Dickson omg now that I think about it...imagine that
It would be like @ 2:06
Lol
same lmao
me too i-
Me too.
This is so fascinating and inspiring
Oh hi Mo Mo
Hey! Your channel inspired me to try to go to bicolline omg
Hi Mo Mo O'Brien! You're the best ❤️
Cosplayer engineering never ceases to amaze me. Just the simple fishing line and joints makes the costume come to life that much more.
imagine being this creative and being able to make this and make it look good and work well...
can't relate :/
Same...
Still a lot of work. But can be done, it's possible.
I can cus a have one
Can’t relate as well :(
Mood
You're so freaking creative.
.....oh my gosh, THANK YOU. I absolutely love your work!!
i see you almost everywhere omg
Wow, you have a marvelous brain. I would not have thought of that. Super awesome!
It's just think outside the box and seeing what works (I do the same thing in my job to get the exams I need *xray tech*) just takes time errors repeat and experience
Looks interesting. Could likely make a liontaur, sphinx, or chimera based on the design. Gotta still watch out for doorways, stairs, and escalators I bet.
I think what would be really interesting to see is a Griffin version.
Oh I do love mechanically functional cosplay! Great work!
Wait were you the Centaur from Fantasia!?!? I loved that scene!~
I guess this is what Arya Stark has been doing since she sailed West of Westeros.
I was thinking that same thing! I was like: "So, Maisie Williams became a Centaur cosplayer?"
She did an Arya cosplay that looked really damn cool
These 4 Minutes were waaaay better than other 20+ minute Tutorials I have seen
Amazing Work, I will definitely get that book, even though I'm not planning to make a centaur cosplay
Read her pinned comment and... I don't get why people are saying it's weird? She's describing how she built a centaur costume, I mean, that's what the title says.
Because some people don't get why someone would spend so much time and effort into looking like a centaur. Idk I think its cool but some people just don't get it. A family member of mine thinks this kind of stuff is a waste of time unless someone was planning to make money off of it
Easy to mould, light weight and mechanically simple. I like it.
On a side note I was worried you were going to 'hoof' your toes when you were showing the leg movement.
I got this as a recommended video and im actually really thankful. This is SO COOL!!!!!
Reminds me of Pholus, my centaur cleric, or as I called him, my Centaur for Disease Control.
underrated comment
That is genius
Hey, I don’t know if I have ever even made a CZcams comment before, but I follow you on twitter (fellow critter here!) and saw you’d mentioned you’ve been getting negative comments on this video recently, so I thought I’d come leave a comment too. Just wanted to tell you that I and many others think you’re a very talented creator, and I can definitely see the skill and effort that has gone into designing this. It’s a really lovely creation, and you should definitely be proud of it! Additionally, the way you explain things in your videos is really well-done and easy to follow. As someone with ADHD, following instructions is really difficult, but the way you break things down is incredibly effective. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure you knew you’re very talented, and both you and your work are appreciated!
If you're thinking that you don't cosplay, here's a story.
I never thought I was into cosplaying either, until I went to my first Anime Convention. Literally everyone in there was in some form of amazing cosplay, and me looking down at my painfully normal boring clothes, I felt downright nude! It was like going to a costume party, but forgetting to bring a costume.
That's how you get into cosplay. Conventions are basically huge costume parties and just as fun!
One time a puppeteer accidentally broke my glasses and she gave me an IOU slip........ time to cash it in...
I can’t wait for the book! Even your first version was amazing so I can’t wait to see what you did next!
This feels like an episode of “How it’s made”, very good skills.
You should work for major movie productions.
Expanding foam is the greatest filler of all time. I used it a million years ago to fill my Tetsusaiga sword when I cosplayed Inuyasha a looooong time ago. Made it nice and light so I could swing it easily despite the size.
2019: I made a centaur costume
2030: I am Spider
Oh man! This is beautiful! I thought when I first saw your original centaur cosplay video that this would be much more complex than what it actually is. In actuality it's simple yet elegant! And I love all the ease of life features that you thought of on top of everything else! This version itself feels like v3.0 or more, rather than v1.0! I'm so glad I backed your book and I can't wait to see how the new version will be!
Are you happy Google, I watched the video.
Also nice build, really solid work!
I’ve been waiting for this for at least a year/ year and a half and I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK AND TO BE A CENTAUR GIRL THANK YOU GINNY I WILL NEVER STOP SUPPORTING YOU AND YOUR AMAZING WORK❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just wanted to give you a HUGE thank you. Your video was an incredible help to me in making a walking centuar for my daughter for her high school musical. I love all of your work!
This lady looks like an adult Hatsune Miku
She’s really f***ing pretty and I am jealous
Incredible! :) this could work and help people in Comic con & Cosplay who want to look like centaur fairytale, warrior, league of legends, Pokemon warrior as well.
Keep up the remarkable work Ginny Di
:) .
Hecarim
@@veigaranao8134 Good Idea. :)
I am so glad this came up in my recommended! I’ve been looking for an in-depth and easy to follow explanation on making centaur legs for ages. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I am very excited for the book/tutorial to come out. :)
Great video! Very informative and brief. Don't do any cosplay myself but love all the work and care that goes into it.
I went into this thinking "I just want to see what it's about" and walked away from the video going "holy crap, I think I can do that". My mind is blown.
I've followed your videos for about a year, but just now discovered this informative video of great cosplay/costume-making. Great description of the process and details. Amazing job!!
I just appreciate how simple the engineering is, it makes some pretty complex looking movements but it all boils down to some fishing line and some clever use of PVC, very nice.
I can't wait for the release of your book!!! It will really help with my Mount Cosplays I want to build! :D
I am not sure which is more amazing, the piece and it's genius construction or the simple genius of "Centuar of Attention" both ways, well done
This is freaking sweet! Props to you for developing this and also helping others to make their own! Keep up the great work!
That is amazing.
I was expecting all this complicated gearing and electric motors and it's fishing line and your own movements. Just fanstastic.
CZcams algoritm coming your way. Amazing, I just can´t belive how you even study for this. So much hard work and hours put down into this, trully amazing!
I saw on your recent video how much hate you got for this. I just wanted to say that I think some the the haters and bottom feeders are because you did something truly amazing! Jealousy and pettiness are easy with something thats never been done before. It takes much more energy and intelligence to render a nice compliment! Take it as praise that you were able to "wind people up" with your creativity and art!
Still truly one of the best feats of cosplay engineering I have ever seen. I'm still mesmerized every time I see your centaur cosplay in action and it's the build that got me interested in to your work. I can't wait to see your next project!
😍im glad you made a video and even happier you made a book. Seen your cosplay once before on ig and was amazed.
This popped into my recommended which is strange because I don’t cosplay but hella interesting. For once way to go CZcams recommendations.
Everytime I walk into my plumbing supply store the owner asks me what I am working on this time. I think I would pay to see the look on his face if she told him a centaur.
I always dread that question. I usually make a weird face and then say something really vague, like "a.... frame"
The eyehooks to feed the fishing line through is rather genius. As someone that did theatre costuming for a couple seasons I really appreciate the ingenuity of craftsmanship in this to work around how it functions and how the character actor can be comfortable wearing this for a length of time. I know the video is 4 yrs old at this point but if nothing else it shows the usefulness of the construction holds. Well done.
This is really cool. Love how simple it is to make the legs move. I thought one would need complicated tech stuff for this, hidden in the inside, but this simple solution is so great!
People don’t appreciate ingenuity anymore. That’s genius
I don't know if you still look at these comments, but this looks like it took SO much work -- it's incredible! keep doing what you're doing!! :))
Oh thats so cool! Thanks for making these types of videos. Ive never been any good at putting cosplay of any sort together, but seeing the process is always fascinating.
This is so cool!! I wanted to make a centaur costume for years and didnt know how to do it!! Cant wait for your book!
This is awesome! I know about the mermaid tales. I like centaurs too I hope it can as popular as the mermaid tales.
When you don’t have friends to be a Centaur with 😔
Mochi Squad ill join you!!
You explained everything in such an amazing and simple way. It was fun watching the entire video and just listening.
Oh wow! I remember seeing you wear this a bit ago-it’s so amazing to see how you thought it out and built it! Cosplayers are so amazing!
Making it so you can match the tail to the wig is NEXT LEVEL.
The CZcams algorithm sucks. The only reason I saw this video is because I went to your channel because I realized I hadn't seen anything from you in awhile. Now I see that I have missed several videos. Anyway, great video, great cosplay and very interesting mechanism
I am so glad I watched your video. Your construction technique could be used for several costumes I have wanted to do but was stumped on construction that would be light weight and used readily available materials. I am inspired now. Thank you!!!
This is cool! Now I wanna cosplay Centaur Leela from Futurama lol!
Liddy Hadouken That would be so cute! I'd love to see that and do it myself!!!!
Me: "Why is this in my recommended?"
Also me: "This is brilliant."
I wish I had this kind of creativity.
Oh wow this is really cool :0
Great job on the build and gl on your book!
YO THAT'S SO COOL- so mechanically simple so it's unlikely to break, and soooo good looking. I love it
3:55 _chicken dinner mode_
Love the current outfit btw! Keep up the great work!
lol
OH. MEINE. GOT!!!! This is some seriously ingenious Enginering.
IT CENTAURLY IS! 😝
Had to come over and have a look after you mentioned it in your "questions about Professional Cosplay" video. As a tech. support provider in a film school who helps students with this kind of stuff all the time, I can say this is good stuff!
This was a great sum up video! I can't wait to see the detail in the Centaur of Attention book! Such a great collaboration or creators! 💖
This looks so freaking awesome! I really want to try and make this! But I'm broke! 😭😭
Anyway, it's still a Good video! 💓💗💖💕💞
This is so helpful I’m definitely going to try making a World of Warcraft character that has a deer back
Cenarius?
StrangeLittleCat no one of the dryads from the beginning night elf area
@@rowaena6561 awesome! I did cenarius last year :)
love the mechanical idea behind this. simple and effective, and looks really good.
Oh my god!! I literally have been wanting to create something like this since middle school!! I had no idea you could actually make it!! That is so amazing!!
At first I was like, "who's this?" Then I saw your Jester Lavorre cosplay pfp, and remembered seeing you're name on Talks Machina
Okay, the whole imagination of my inner child is dead now but the mechanics are still cool!
I mean, the title was pretty clear about what this was gonna be - if you didn't want the "magic" ruined, maybe you shouldn't have watched it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ginny Di I think it makes it more magical because it looks real and kind of is in a way.
Ive just finished making one for comic con london this October with a simialr method!! Glad to finally see some solid tutorials out their now. I had to peice together random diagrams from various sites.
Excellent job with the hidden leg mechanic! and super clever! Your "tutorial" was super quick, to the point, and super clear, can't wait to apply and share your ideas with my Kids, and their Cosplay.
THANK YOU! Keep creating, and thinking wild!
People give you shit for making these costumes? I can't see anything weird about making a costume like this? It's essentially like making a mermaid tail. Even if I don't cosplay myself, I still find it so awesome how clever this is. It looks quite convincing! Keep up the good work 😊
When I first saw this video's thumbnail I thought you were sitting on air.
Opticle illusion!? 🤣😅😋😊😄
this is so amazing
wow I can't believe the creativity some people have to make this awesome stuff
Absolutely incredible!! Never thought something this amazing would be possible!
Hm. I was expecting more 'dark pact for wizardry' instead of engineering know-how, but you can't win them all, I suppose.
Simple and ingenious! I'm glad I watched it because I blinked and said "WUT," at the clip of you walking in the costume and that's what reeled me in. (Well, OK, that and you're adorable, too.) Well done!
So glad youtube has brought me this. I've been thinking for a while that I want to try to make my +Anima OC into a cosplay, and your design with moving back legs is actually exactly what I was planning to do!
Oh my gosh! I saw this on Pinterest because I was thinking of doing a modern (much loved) Sunflower! I gave up looking for a tutorial! I’m so happy you made a book!
This is so excellent! Please never stop creating❤️
@Ginny Di
I have stumbled across a few of your build videos now, and I must say you are a VERY creative and INSPIRING individual!! I subbed!!! I read your comment below about negative comments. For me not understanding what Cosplay is was directly contributed to the word Cosplay. Then I realized it was dressing up in costume as your favorite characters/heroes and just getting together with others and enjoying their costumes, their acting, their why as to liking different characters and at the big conventions the same but also potentially meeting some of one's favorite actors, etc. For the vast majority of people it isn't an every day thing!!!
This is so cool! I also love building stuff so I understand why you’ve worked so hard! Great job.
You got my attention . I watched the one where you are walking and I'm hooked what an amazing person you are I'm now a new subscriber
The effort put in and artistic functionality of this amazes me. Very cool
I actually loved the centaurs in "Fantasia". I love how you explained how all the details of your centaur costume. It a gorgeous cosplay but wow is it complicated! You create amazing cosplays!
Love that you explained but it didn’t take over 20 mins. I appreciate straight to the point videos like this!
I'm glad this was recommended to me, I love cosplay! Well done! ❤ It turned out so amazing!
MAN THIS IS SO COOL!!! This kind of stuff is what makes me miss going to conventions and dressing up. I've been meaning to get into costume making myself, but just haven't had the motivation or skills to start. Those roses look absolutely stunning!! (I'm just a huge sucker for flowers)
Ginny
Love this! Thanks for the video and I will be purchasing your book!
That's bloody brilliant! And the materials are easy obtained, nothing too expensive, love it!
I could listen to you describe anything step by step like this. Idk how I got here, but this was delightful.
CZcams recommends me the most random videos, but now I’m binge watching these videos 😂 very fascinating!
I've literally never been into cosplay, but now that I'm being reccommended these videos... I'm tempted. This is so cool.
Girl, your ability to not only engineer a working model but make it look so gorgeous is so inspiring! Bucket list cosplay right there. Now first I need to learn how to do the basics like... sewing. ha.
