Oct. 2020 - A Behind the Scenes Look at Tribble Cosplay
by Kayleigha Zawacki - October 15, 2020
We've been celebrating Halloween all this month by dressing the Science Division Tribbles up in a different costume every day and posting it to our social media.
Here's a little behind the scenes look at the creation of some of those images! Be sure to follow #TribblesInTrouble to see new cosplays as we release them.
Here's the Tribble pirate photo that we posted on October 7th. We created this cosplay with props and materials that we already had around the house: a metal boat, a Star Trek™ bandana, and some craft paper, cardboard, and foil.

Jay and I are lighting designers for theatre, so we have all kinds of lighting equipment on hand. We have a station set up to take photos in the Science Division office upstairs. I call the room my Kayleigha Cave, because it's full of Star Trek and other nerdy collectibles--a few of them are even props that Jay and I have created, ourselves.
Four color-changing LED lighting fixtures are plugged into a simple lighting console. It allows us to set the colors and the brightnesses of the lights as we assemble each scene.

While the photographs themselves are pretty neat and tidy, the home office lighting set up is anything but.
The next image is from October 5th. We posted it in celebration of World Teacher Day. My mom, dad, and sister all work in education, so teachers are near and dear to my heart. Jay also teaches. He instructs high school students in the art of lighting design. Teachers cannot be thanked enough for the work that they do.
Thank you to all of you out there who work in education!

We used a Halloween chalk board decoration that I already had on hand. Fluffy craft store pom poms became Tribbles for this shoot. Jay constructed a scaffolding to hold up the chalk board so it could look like the teacher Tribble was pointing to it. The glasses that the Tribble is wearing are Jay's actual glasses.
Here are the rest of the photos from this month so far:
I hope that I've inspired you to set up some of your own Tribble cosplay photos. It's fun and easy to do with items from around the house! Keep your eyes out for even more Tribble cosplays as we continue to share one a day throughout the month of October!

- I am really enjoying my Tribble! (& your extra content!) Having one has been a life-long dream come true for me. It is pretty awesome that the same dream inspired you both. God bless
