Jurassic
Park Costuming
|
|
The section here is designed to talk about a new innovative feature for
the Jurassic Park Fan Community. It is a fact that the Jurassic Park Fan
Community is not as large as it once was and this section is proposed
in dealing with that issue. Costuming in fandom groups is not entirely
unheard of as it used in SciFiHero.Net,
a site that is dedicated to the costuming aspects of many popular Science-Fiction
shows such as Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis, and another site that does
costuming is the The
501st Star Wars Costuming group.
Costuming is meant truly to be for
anyone who likes dressing up and being a common place for gathering socially
at Science Fiction or Comic Book Conventions. Now you're probably wondering
what aspects of Jurassic Park could you genuinely costume. Here's
a compilation I managed to gather below. The basis for the costuming
information below is being a part of Jurassic Park's assorted staff. For more detailed information, you can visit Keith's Jurassic Park Costuming page.
The links provided are only for recommended items only.
The costumer is encouraged to do his/her own research into the costume
trying to be reproduced. Some may be more accurate or less expensive.
Remember, this is YOUR costume.

Note: The (*) you see next to the names of Ranger and Security Officer
are ranks created to broaden the avaiablity for costumes for Jurassic
Park. These costumes were developed to look as canon as possible. Now
that there is an established list of costuming criteria for the Jurassic
Park series we can find the gear possible to give us the look of being
like we're one of Jurassic Park's staff.
The (**) you see next to some images is intended that the official
styles are as of yet unknown and will be to the costumer's discression.
If you have any available information as to the styles, brands, or
location of these items, please contact our costume supervisor.
Below is an example of me, the Webmaster of this site, sporting the Security Officer Jurassic Park
costume.

The gun is actually not a real SPAS-12 it is instead an Airsoft BB Gun.
Airsofts are modified to look like real world weaponry and fire small
BBs. The whole plan of all of this is to form an organization based off
of the interest generated by Jurassic Park costuming and hopefully develop
ties with official sources as well as unite Jurassic Park fans together.
Teams would be organized by region under a Command Structure with Game
Warden as the Head of the Jurassic Park Costuming Organization, Rangers
would be Team Leader and Security Officers as Assistant Team Leaders.
The Ranger would act as liasons for planning events, staying in contact
with the Game Warden about events his team had planned. The Security Officer
would have the responsibility of checking to make sure everyone's airsoft
replica guns are safe to be used for Conventions or Official Jurassic
Park Events. Team Members would wear Vetenarian Costumes, Park Associate
Costumes, and of course the Security Work Force costumes.
Everyone would
be encouraged to make costumes also based off popular characters in the
film like Dr. Alan Grant or John Hammond for example. Organization of
teams depends on who all would be interested in doing this. I will be
testing my Jurassic Park costume with flyers to this site hopefully at
an upcoming convention to generate interest. Please watch this section
for updates and post on the forum
in the Costuming
board if you are interested in joining.

Some new progress to show off is the Jurassic Park ID Badge seen in
the films:
Here is a blank template you can use for your own badges.
