Additionally if your costume element could impact your mobility, field of view, or saber handling ability we will need a choreo video. #### Wig/Prosthetics Video take a short video of you shaking your head vigorously in both the “Yes” and “No” directions. Video shouldn’t be much longer than 10 seconds. If your costume element could potentially impact your mobility, field of view, or saber handling ability, you will also need to submit a choreo video. #### Choreo Video Take a short video of yourself and a fight partner doing a saber choreography. In it you should demonstrate that you can both attack and defend wearing the costume element in question without your mobility, field of view, or saber handling ability being affected. Video shouldn’t be much longer than 15 seconds. --- ### Common Issues with Videos #### Wig/Prosthetics video does not show enough vigorous head movement This video is to prove to the judges that your wig/prosthetic will not fall off mid choreography on stage. Think of this as the “blade check” of wigs. #### Choreo Video doesn't show the applicant moving If you stand still, we cannot determine if your field of vision or mobility is being affected by the costume element, and will ask you to refilm or judge the costume element as “Trooping Only”
