If you’re wondering how these are made, it’s actually pretty simple. Where even a few years ago data like this would need to be captured inside a large rig, now you can get most of the shots you need using an iPad and a special hardware dongle. Provided the subject can stand still long enough for you to get around them.

So you have cosplayers cosplaying as video game characters becoming video game characters and then people would cosplay cosplayers cosplaying video game characters who themselves are video game characters? *Entire world implodes*
