Mythbuster famed, Adam Savage hosts a Ted Talk talking about his love for cosplay and why he does cosplay.
Adam Savage makes things and builds experiments, and he uses costumes to add humor, color and clarity to the stories he tells. Tracing his lifelong love of costumes — from a childhood space helmet made of an ice cream tub to a No-Face costume he wore to Comic-Con — Savage explores the world of cosplay and the meaning it creates for its community. “We’re connecting with something important inside of us,” he says. “The costumes are how we reveal ourselves to each other.”
This is a few years old but I just love the passion that Adam gives in this video. His connection to geek culture which has led him to cosplay. I feel that we all share a similar passion to Adam to why we all cosplay in this community.
