KamehameHamlet Archives: Freeza's Tail
Vegeta (and his helmet) have gotten a lot of love, but I wanted to highlight my other favorite piece of costuming: Freeza's tail!
Read on to see it in action, and how it was made!
Made of a super long industrial pool noodle (with some theatre magic modifications), this costume piece/prop whipped around stage behind Cayla with a twisted fluidity that tied together Freeza's look. I mean just look at how it hooks around the rock then lashes out when Cayla turns sharply.
Let's take a look at how it was made!
The original idea for the tail was based on those wooden snake toys and I cut up a pool noodle as a protoype and sent the following video to our costume designer/magician Sarah Simon.
Sarah took my less-than-half-baked idea and crafted the final form of the tail. She shaved down a large white pool noodle to a taper, and instead of cutting all the way through, she used precise slices at varying angles which allowed specific bends exactly where we wanted them. The diagram below explains it better.
So why put all of this effort into this piece:
1. It's cool. Duh.
2. We needed to be able to pull off this moment.
Thanks for reading! Oh and if you are thinking the following...
Wait a minute... you told us there wasn't a recording. So, what's this then?
The footage in the gifs comes from a short recording during tech sent to our fight choreographer to show how the choreo looked in the theatre. I'm combing through old videos of that time to find pieces worth sharing with you. Follow this blog to see these snippets or follow the links below to learn more!

So I wanted to try amiz06 shading style and colors. I really like how it looks so here you go !
I added some really small little touch of mine in it but the rest is fairly similar I think.
Oh btw don't tell me to tag her I don't want to... I'm a scaredy -cat and think that tagging people is bothering especially for someone like her, and also if by any means she read this if it bother you or you don't like it please let me know i'll delete it.
Hope you like it.

Frieza Shimeji(Window Version)
I've finally completed the Frieza Shimeji! I think it took about two weeks to complete...
All you have to do is download the bottom folder, unzip it, Run a program named "Frieza.jar"!
It's my first time making it, so there may be some parts that I'm not good at... But I would be really happy if you download it a lot!
If you have any problems or questions, please send us a message.
Put a cute and lovely little emperor on your desktop!
