The “Props and Costume Special Effects” Special Interest Group (Props and Costume FX SIG) provides a focus for ICG members who are interested in the art and practice of prop making and costuming special effects, and offers encouragement and support to the community in these areas of costuming. The SIG was formed in 2016, and was one of the first SIGs to form once special interest groups were adopted by the ICG Board.
The mission of the Props and Costume FX SIG is to share knowledge about the art and practice of prop making and costuming special effects. Members are either active in or have a special interest in the various aspects of these areas, with the hope that this SIG will be a focus for, and provide encouragement and support to, other ICG members who are interested in these areas of costuming. Membership in the SIG is open to all ICG members in good standing.
The SIG is lead by a SIG Chair, who is responsible for membership and for ensuring that information is regularly made available to its members. The SIG does not currently charge membership dues.
The primary means of member interaction is through the “ICG Props and Costume FX SIG” Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ICGPropsFxSIG), where members can post information about articles and videos that demonstrate construction techniques and discuss new materials. A recent post was about a tutorial on how to make “Fallout NCR” TV cosplay chest armor.
Posts are viewable by the greater community, as a way to stimulate interest, but posting is restricted to SIG members. If you are invested in joining the ICG Props and Costuming FX SIG, contact the SIG chair at gust@acm.org.
