San Diego Comic Con has a history for having the biggest and most accurate costumes. Once again SDCC did not disappoint, Frank Ippolito revealed his brand new Rancor costume. This behind the scenes video shows you the process of making this incredible outfit.
We’re extremely excited to reveal our big creature project at Comic-Con: The Rancor! Effects artist Frank Ippolito designed and built this incredibly-detailed foam costume in less than a month, based on references from an original test costume used for the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi production team. The Rancor came alive and roamed the streets of San Diego last week–where do you want to see this Rancor visit next? Let us know in the comments below!
In the coming weeks, we’ll show you how this Rancor was built, and teach you some of the processes Frank and his team used to make a wearable foam creature costume!
