Daft Punk Homework: create your own EL suit

Good thing Halloween is months away. You'll need that time to hone your sewing skills in the noble quest to create a Daft Punk suit of your very own. Instructables has everything you need (except the electroluminescent wire, soldering iron, heat gun, and pleather tracksuit) to build an EL suit worthy of electronic celebration. Best of all, your tutor for the course is none other than the suits' creator for the duo's 2007 tour. Now get moving humans, it's time to let the robots rock the party.

They need a discus to complete a TRON 2.0 scene :0

I'm in Digital Love!

I can't believe it's actually BY the guy who did the costumes.

[nxtiak @ Jun 23rd 2008 3:41AM]

It wasn't by the guy who did the costume, it's BY THE GIRL who did the costumes.

My bad
I should have known men can't sew for shit!

Sure these look Aerodynamic, but I gotta ask the question, Face to Face, can they go Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger?

If so, then it's the Prime Time of Your Life! let's Make Love to Robot Rock, Around the World!

What? That's a kayne west song!

(just kidding btw, you'll have to admit you raged :P)

If I was a Superheroes, I would have Night Vision, a Steam Machine, powers to cause Short circuits, and always break down in Da Funk while living the High Life! I won't be Too Long until I am Fresh and Burning an High Fidelity Alive. Hopefully I can stop the evil The Brain Washer before he makes Television Rules the Nation. In order to do that, I will need to flip the On/Off switch, and use my Technologic Steam Machine to hack into the Indo Silver Club which is in Phoenix, Arizona. Then I will cause a Short Circuit in the spacecraft Voyager and be a Superheroes

[Pdexter @ Jun 23rd 2008 5:16AM]

Too much youtube for you Fernando!

[Miguel @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:06PM]

Very Technologic. Im sure news that this suit can be made by anyone will be Burnin' Around the World in not Too Long. sorry just had to join in =]

[AJ @ Jun 23rd 2008 4:49PM]

@ Haikibutsu, that was freakin' awesome!!! I would've never thought of that myself. And I consider myself a huge Daft Punk. Amazing work though, gotta give you props.

[Funke, Tobias Dr. @ Jun 23rd 2008 2:23AM]

This designer has made up my mind. I'm going open casket now.

[Jake @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:44PM]

That Funke is some kind of something!

[Jake @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:45PM]

Boy, this Funke is all anybody's ever talking about.

[Jake @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:48PM]

So sick and tired of hearing about how brilliant that Funke is. Overrated.

[Funke, Tobias Dr. @ Jun 23rd 2008 5:01PM]

Now I'm afraid I have something of a mess on my hands.

[Funke, Tobias Dr. @ Jun 24th 2008 2:23AM]

Probably a little late on this one, but here it is nonetheless:

Bateman confirmed that the long awaited and rumoured Arrested Development movie is going to shoot next year.

*starts search for supplies

[inimitable @ Jun 23rd 2008 2:35AM]

Excellent. I needed a summer project!

[nxtiak @ Jun 23rd 2008 2:38AM]

That 2008 Grammy's Kanye West/Daft Punk performance was awesome.

[Taylor @ Jun 23rd 2008 3:40AM]

I swear when Daft Punk got the focus I nearly came

[Garst @ Jun 23rd 2008 5:05AM]

Are those safe halloween costumes? Sure drivers can see you, but can you see out the mask? But it would still be great to have a Tron costume.

[Barion @ Jun 23rd 2008 5:54AM]

Nothing beats seeing Daft Punk live. I caught their show at Lollapalooza in 2007 and it was amazing. I had no idea I would love a techno concert, since no one is "performing" live, but I had a blast while the two DJs spun their music to a fantastic light show. The crowd energy was intense. And I would love to find a friend and go as Daft Punk to a Halloween party this year.

[dziban303 @ Jun 23rd 2008 10:55AM]

I'll put their Coachella '06 show up against -palooza '07 any day.

Actually, I submit their appearance at FTT's Halloween Tribal Massive back in 1999 as the show to conquer all shows. Was anybody else there? God...damn...tears come to my eyes just remembering that shit.

Sure, they were ridiculous on almost every level, but raves were awesome.

[Taylor @ Jun 23rd 2008 10:15PM]

It's not techno.
It's house/electro

[Taylor @ Jun 23rd 2008 10:37PM]

It's not techno.
It's house/electro

[Listeningto Mycomputer @ Jun 23rd 2008 7:12AM]

1000Hz at 120 Volts coursing through numerous copper wires?

Bet the RFI is interesting.

[I used to be able to hear how my 1970s homebuilt computer was running due to RFI with the sound system - boot/run and listen to see if things were going okay]

[hey_scooter @ Jun 23rd 2008 10:12AM]

Try several hundred feet on just one of those custom suits. I've bought a couple pieces of EL-laced accessories from the same lady who custom made Daft Punk's light up suits for their 2007 Alive Tour. I even was able to go to her studio to pick them up! She's extremely nice and does some great work. Her website is http://www.enlighted.com if you want to see some of her other work (which she does with a lot of other artists for their tours and other things)

[notYou @ Jun 23rd 2008 7:36AM]

I want them in the Games until they die playing.

Acknowledge.

End of line.

[Dustin @ Jun 23rd 2008 10:13AM]

I saw these fellows at ACEN 2008. Really amazing in person.

[ManekiNeko @ Jun 23rd 2008 3:44PM]

It's just not complete without a glowing male camel toe.

[kevin @ Jun 24th 2008 3:47PM]
