Be a Hero
In 2016, putting together our annual Calgary Cosplay Music Video was therapeutic, as our home town of Fort McMurray was evacuated during the Horse River Fire. Four years later, another tragedy has occurred. As I write this post, our community is returning to ‘normal’ after being partially evacuated due to a massive flood of our Downtown area impacting 13,000 people. Many insurance companies do not cover this type of flooding. We do not make our videos for monetary gain, we make them “for the Cos.” You don’t need to dress like a hero to be one. Donating to any one of the following charities would help our community immensely during this time.
Wood Buffalo Food Bank
Red Cross Fort McMurray & Area Flood Fund
Fort McMurray SPCA
Fuse Social
Fort McMurray Heritage Society
May the Fourth be with you.
See a Hero
With that, we are so happy to share our first, and hopefully only, Quarantine Cosplay Music Video.
With events being postponed due to COVID19, included San Diego Comic-Con, our hopes for Calgary Expo this year faded. As we waited at home, the team at M’Guphynn Media came up with an idea ‘outside the box.’ What if we let the Cosplayers come to us? In April we asked Cosplayers to submit their Quarantine Cosplay Videos and the response was amazing.
This video is very special to us as we would have loved to see all of our Cosplay Family at Calgary Expo this year. The Calgary Expo’s decision to postpone until next year was the right one but we were still saddened we wouldn’t get to connect in person with the lovely people we sometimes only get to see once or twice a year.
We have no doubt that Calgary Expo 2021 will be bigger and better in every way and we look forward to seeing all of you there.
A huge thanks to all the Cosplayers who submitted their phenomenal cosplay. We had so much fun checking some surprise pet cosplay too.
