Over the past 25 years as a consultant I have created dozens of characters while performing and brand building for my primary employer including, but not limited to: The Houston Astros, Gallery Furniture, Menchies Frozen Yogurt, The University of Houston, The Houston Comets, The University of Delaware, The Houston Thunderbears & more… Having been both a performer and someone who has personally created the character & costume, originated the role, and then gone on to portray the characters for years has given me a unique perspective on how best to construct a costume to maximize both its look and its usability. There is nothing worse then a costume that looks amazing, but whether too hot, not enough vision, lack of dexterity, too heavy, or many other potential pitfalls, is simply unusable. You want a costume that is built to last, looks like a great representation of your brand and is useable so that a performer can BRING IT TO LIFE! Email me at robert@robertboudwin.com to make your idea come to life. Take it out of your head, onto the page and then into the 3 dimensional real life cartoon character that it is meant to be. You will end up with an asset that can entertain your customers and connect with them in such a meaningful way that they will be turned into RAVING FANS! Here are just some of the characters I have created.
