[MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Hey guys I'm Ben.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: And I'm Bianca.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: And welcome to our first ever Homemade How-tos.
So this is a little bit different than what we usually do on Homemade Movies.
When we build stuff we only make it for the shot that we're re-creating.
So for example, if we only see the front half of Ironman,
we don't make the back half of Ironman.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Ironman has no back.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: [LAUGH] Ironman never walks away.
These aren't gonna be exactly like the movies,
these are gonna be still in the homemade style.
It's just gonna be complete costumes and they're gonna be a little bit stronger.
So we're doing Mortal Kombat, and
we're gonna focus more on the characters that require more of a build.
Like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, a little bit of Kano, cuz he's got that face piece.
And then of course, Goro, we're gonna build Goro.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Goro, that's our mountain.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Yeah, mountain Goro.
So let's get to it.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: We're using the same basic template for the top overlay piece.
So, whatever we measure onto that,
we could measure out to the other one as well.
We found some pretty awesome fabric, so we got about two yards of it.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: This was about $6 a yard,
the other alternative is if you want to get a little more homemade,
go to Goodwill, find a big extra large yellow T-shirt, yellow sheets.
So we're gonna measure shoulder-to-shoulder,
so we have all of our marks here.
So then, the long part, which is- >> Speaker 2: Bianca: The length?
[LAUGH] >> Speaker 1: Ben: [LAUGH] The length.
It looks like it kind of comes right below the crotch.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: [LAUGH] >> Speaker 1: Ben: Is there a better way
to say that?
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: [LAUGH] It comes halfway down the thigh.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Halfway down the thigh.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: [LAUGH] >> Speaker 1: Ben: And again,
this is gonna be different depending on how tall or short you are.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: All right so we got our piece cut here,
save that extra for later because we're gonna make the belts out of those.
So what we're gonna do right now is we're gonna find the mid point of this.
Because we're gonna base all of the other cuts and
measurements off of the mid point of this piece of fabric.
V shape comes down to about the belly button.
Where's your belly button, tell me where I'm stopping.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: About right there.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Right there?
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: The outside also tapers and
the whole thing tapers into the waist, right?
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: So for the bottom piece your
just going to go straight down.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Now it's time to cut.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Alright, now we have the front piece and
we're gonna just trace it to the back.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: So now we just cut that because we have these flat
edges right here, we're gonna wanna make a hem.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Our quick and easy solution to that is using hot glue.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: [SOUND] What up!
Looks pretty awesome.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: All right, sweet, that was our no-sew hem.
Those shoulder pads.
[LAUGH] [LAUGH] Okay so, just the belt.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: So let's do the belt.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Awesome.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Cool.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: So now this is gonna be the length that we're gonna make
our belts.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: We're all done with Scorpion's belt and
tracing it onto Sub-Zero's material.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: I'm gonna show you guys how to do the masks.
They each have a different design to the masks,
and we're gonna make those entirely out of cardboard and tape and spray paint.
So let's move to the overhead.
We're gonna start out with just the base.
The base part is from the nose, end of the nose to the chin.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: So now we'll gonna do the little segments in there and
it looks like each one is about a quarter of an inch.
So you're just gonna cut quarter of an inch strips out of cardboard.
And it's really just sort of piecing it together.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: So once you get your frame figured out,
what you're gonna do is take the little pieces, fit the piece in.
So you wanna do that all the way down.
So once you have that all done, you could leave it, and
just continue on with the next part which is gonna be adding these pieces.
And just leave this cardboard and spray paint that.
But I kinda wanna make this all look like one piece, so what we're gonna do is this.
And, I'm gonna use gaff tape.
So now we're gonna cut all these little pieces out, like I did here.
So I'm gonna do that all the way down.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Stick out a little bit,
I think they're probably about a half inch pieces.
You gonna wanna do that all the way down on each side.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: So now we got the entire thing covered with our tape, and
it's ready to get spray painted, we're gonna take it outside.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Now Sub-Zero has a little
bit different design.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: It's just raised off of the mask a little bit.
So we're going to go ahead and make that edge.
First piece we are going to put right here.
I like to make sound effects when I cut, because it helps.
>> [MUSIC] >> Speaker 1: Ben: That piece is going to
fit underneath the one that we just put.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Okay, so you do the same thing for the other side.
So what I am going to do is just cut this stuff out.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: So now we want to cover this with our gaff tape.
We're gonna hit this with some blue spray paints.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: So, [SOUND] here they are, totally finished,
they look really awesome.
So all we have left to do is the straps, which we're gonna use twine.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: So now it's time to tackle Kano's wardrobe.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Kano. >> Speaker 2: Bianca: So now it's time to
tackle Kano's- >> Speaker 1: Ben: Kano.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: [LAUGH] Stop it.
It looks like Kano is basically just
wearing a pair of black pants and no shirt.
It's just that face mask.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: What do we got?
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: So we got a Phantom
of the Opera half face mask. >> Speaker 1: Ben: And actually his nose
isn't even in there, if you notice it. >> Speaker 2: Bianca: His nose has
gotta go. >> Speaker 1: Ben: There,
it's kind of a triangle shape. >> Speaker 2: Bianca: And for his red eye
we have a red transparent divider. >> Speaker 1: Ben: We
are going to attach the little red square into there,
and there you go. >> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: There's Kano.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: So now it's time for
us to conquer Mount Goro. >> Speaker 1: Ben: Mount, Big G.
We found a video when we were kind of
doing some research on how to build Goro. We actually found a video
of Amalgamated Dynamics doing test footage with their Goro build.
And it was essentially
an animatronic torso that sat on top of the performer's shoulders.
And as soon as we saw that, we knew
that was the way we were going to go. We are going to be doing
a watered-down homemade version of the way that they actually did in the film.
So we're gonna start with the head.
And basically what we would do is we'd look at reference photos and
we're gonna kind of figure out the basic shapes.
And Bianca you had a really awesome idea for building the head.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Which was using a basic foam head,
then using the idea that you have in mind with the pieces of cardboard.
We put those on that and then paper-mache the whole thing.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Mm-hm.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: So let's get started.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: We're gonna start with the lips.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: So this is gonna be the cheekbone.
It is a lot of just playing with the materials and looking at your references.
>> [MUSIC] >> Speaker 2: Bianca: For
the shape of the chin,
I was actually thinking we have these Mickey Mouse cups from the $0.99 store.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: That's actually really awesome.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Cool. >> Speaker 1: Ben: Yeah, that's
great, I like that. >> Speaker 2: Bianca: Sweet.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Seems like his
forehead sort of slopes down.
All that probably needs to come out.
Weird, his whole face looks like.
I was actually thinking we could maybe put that on top of the head.
His head kind of extends back.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: My God.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: And then we could put the pony tail coming out of there.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: That's like, that's too funny, we have to use that.
>> [NOISE]
[MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: All right. >> Speaker 2: Bianca: All right,
let's do it.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Let's get some paper-mache going.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Okay, it's basically one part water and one part flour.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: It's essentially you want to get it to look like
pancake batter.
And then we have newspaper, take your strips, just get them in there,
get them a little wet.
This is where we get messy.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Yeah, that's sweet.
Real happy, real happy, good stuff.
We've got Goro's head and it's almost completely dried but
the neck is still quite a bit damp.
So we're gonna let it sit out in the sun while we work on the body.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Yes, and for
the body we've got whole bunch of random stuff here.
We've got pool floaters, belts and
a garbage can which is gonna be our body.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: See? [LAUGH] There you go, it's done.
[LAUGH] >> Speaker 2: Bianca: [LAUGH]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: We
have our shoulder pieces cut out and
now we're gonna figure out where will wanna put the fake arms on the top.
>> [SOUND] >> Speaker 1: Ben: So,
essentially what we're going to be doing is,
this is gonna be the support for our arm.
Then we're gonna take this piece of wood, put it on the other side as support.
And our screws are gonna go through the wood and
into this piece here so have a nice tight secure, peg, essentially.
To then slip the arms onto.
[NOISE] So the next thing you wanna do is draw a pilot hole into the pegs.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: We need to set a base on the inside of the trash can
that we can put the foam.
So, we've got this 11-inch piece that's going to fit firmly in there and
then we're going to take this piece.
And we're gonna attach it to there,
it's gonna be the base of the neck.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: [LAUGH] So now we're gonna figure out about
how long these arms should be.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: So, looks like Goro is all dry.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: He is dry, he's been out sunbathing all day.
Didn't get a tan, he's still kinda white.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: We'll definitely spray tan him.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Yeah. >> Speaker 2: Bianca: All right.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: All right, let's head outside.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Whatever's deep is gonna be darker,
and whatever sticks out is gonna be lighter.
So I'm gonna leave these edges a little bit lighter.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Looks like he's missing his eyeballs.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: His eyeballs, yeah.
So let's get those going.
What we're gonna use is ping pong balls.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Using our X-acto blade we're gonna just cut that out.
>> [MUSIC] >> Speaker 2: Bianca: [LAUGH]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: We need to make all of
the muscles, Goro has an eight-pack actually.
So we're gonna use foam, and you can use pillow stuffing,
this is like kind of like couch-cushion foam.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: There has to be a way to affix the abs to the body,
the trash can.
Hot glue won't work, because it's not strong enough,
so we're gonna use zip ties.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Nice and tight, cool.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Ingenious.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Let's put the arms together.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Yes, let's do that. >> Speaker 1: Ben: Rolling, rolling,
rolling.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: For very heavy-gauge wire we have this garden trellis
that we snipped off some pieces just using a wire cutter.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: It's a lot cheaper, we got this at the 99-cent store.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Gonna slip that wire through the hole.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: We can bend it, and it stays.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: So we got some nude, flesh-tone colored leggings,
they were like three for $10.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: And we're gonna probably beef it up a little bit,
add some more stuffing.
Add some twine to the outside of it so that we can tighten it, and
really get those muscles defined.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: For the hands, we're gonna make a basic stencil.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Yeah, you definitely want to make it very big.
There's four hands, and there's gotta be two pieces of cloth for each hand, so
we wanna trace this eight times.
So when you're cutting these, cut outside of the line.
Don't cut on the line.
Now you're gonna glue, hot glue, right on the line.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: And we're gonna turn it inside out, and
we're gonna stuff just the fingers.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Here they are, some really ugly, weird-looking gloves.
[LAUGH] And [NOISE] >> Speaker 2: Bianca: Aah!
So for the feet we need a piece of cardboard, Ben,
I'm gonna need one of your shoes.
Thank you.
Gonna draw like two.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: It'll like, little turtle toes.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: And we just need the tip of the toes.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Just the tips.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: And to this cardboard piece that we cut up,
gonna wedge inside the sock.
Then you're gonna wanna stuff the toes.
And a little bit onto the foot, and then you're gonna wanna take them outside and
spray paint him with tan spray paint.
Yeah, looks like we just gotta spray paint these a little bit more.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: To shade it a bit.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: These pants gotta come down.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: I think this is getting real [LAUGH].
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: So we got the body and
he looks good, just need to give him some skin.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Some skin, so we got some fabric here,
we just got a whole bunch of this stuff.
That's gonna go right over the top.
Go, cut that.
We're kinda of basically gonna wrap it like a present.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: We found a wonderful piece of faux leather.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: We're going to start of with the loin cloth.
There's no right way to make rags, you just.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: We're gonna use this aluminum tape.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: So, our two arms done.
>> [SOUND] >> Speaker 2: Bianca: Girl's looking
really good, we're gonna do that ponytail.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: He's ready for a ponytail.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Yeah. >> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Luscious. >> Speaker 1: Ben: Look at
how luscious that is.
>> [MUSIC] >> Speaker 1: Ben: All right,
let's get him on his body.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Let's get him on his body.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: We have Johnny,
AKA our Goro, get to it.
Right, here we go.
All right, so we're gonna pop the head on Johnny, hold on.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: [LAUGH] >> Speaker 1: Ben: You just wanna stuff it
until he looks good.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: That is Goro. >> Speaker 2: Bianca: That's it.
One big happy family.
He's getting handsy.
[LAUGH] You watch your hands, Goro.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Yeah, so here we are, finished costumes.
We've got Goro, we've got Scorpion, and of course Sub-Zero.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: If you make these costumes,
you can share them with this on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
>> Speaker 1: Ben: You can also use these techniques that we showed you in this
video to make all kinds of costumes, not just Mortal Kombat.
So whatever you guys make, we wanna see it.
Find this and
show it to us cuz we're really interested to see what you're doing.
And these costumes are gonna be featured in our Mortal Kombat trailer which is
gonna drop in two weeks on Cinefix.
So you wanna subscribe.
Let's go get some food.
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Yeah, let's do it. >> Speaker 1: Ben: Pizza, you want pizza?
>> Speaker 2: Bianca: Pizza, Tai food?
>> Speaker 1: Ben: Tai food's cool, yeah, let's get some Tai food.
Love Tai food.
