ROSE
MAGPIE
You may know her as the
incredible Hawks or as
“Angel” from
#BNHAunited. We know her
as a strong advocate against
bullying and racism who has a
heart of gold.
Q. Hi Rose! It’s been a while since
we last saw you at CAMEC – how
have you been since & what plans
for 2021?
Hi guys! so the end of 2020 was
quiet big actually, I ended up hoping
over to the Netherlands to self
isolate with Sakura and make a load
of content with her while planning
our future business endeavors. For
2021 I’m going to be improving on
areas where I see myself as weak in
with a special focus on increasing
production value, getting myself a
proper camera and lighting setup
opposed to just using my phone,
learning how to edit videos more
and produce high quality content.
I’d like to start expanding and
eventually get to the stage where I
can move to the Netherlands with
my family and go work over there
with Sakura on a full time basis.
Q. That sounds fantastic! The
fact that you are setting up your
own studio to produce content, is
that a necessity now due to the
pandemic as we’re seeing with a
lot of cosplayers in this part of the
world as well, or was it something
you had always planned for?
Well I do have a photographer
friend but she works a lot and I
always feel very rude & intrusive
to ask because she gets only one or
two days off in a week.
My husband on the other hand
can’t take pictures for crap and I
am too lazy to leave the house so I
figured if I can just do it all myself
and it doesn’t go well, I only have
myself to blame (laughs) – So I
guess I’ve always planned for it
but I would prefer to work with
a photographer who can get the
framing and angles right.
It’s a lot easier with a photographer
there but doing it yourself also
gives you the chance to practice
poses so when you are working
with a photographer at a later date,
it gets easier.
