Ever heard of a Superhero Factory before? And if so, then well, what exactly is it? Believing that the first thing that comes to mind is probably either a brand or a place that manufactures superhero toys, whether right or wrong, in Movie Carnival's context - it's a live facility booth where anyone can participate and experience what it's like to be a superhero for a day!
Bringing in professional make-up artists, Superhero Factory is bound to be a big attraction with the school holiday crowd as they get to be transformed into the superhero character of their choice. There is quite a number of DC and Marvel inspired character costumes made available for those who wish to live out their fantasies. However, participants can also put together their own costumes based on their imagination rather than just being lookalikes.
Taking up an estimated maximum number of 1,000 people over a period of 10 days, this activity is a once in a life-time opportunity opened to the public for a nominal fee of RM20 (inclusive of 1 photo print). However, if you are a U-Mobile customer, you will get an opportunity to receive a free Superhero Factory voucher along with other gifts if you purchase a RM30 and above top up voucher or simply just sign up as a postpaid customer. It's that easy to let the fun begin!
Step 1: Firstly, if you are a U-Mobile customer who received a free Superhero Factory voucher, just present it at the Superhero Factory information counter. However, if you are not a U-Mobile customer, all there is to do is just pay RM20 to participate. From there, your appointment time and contact details will be taken down and a number will be given to you. All participants would then have to deposit their National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) with the Superhero Factory personnel. Step 2: Once your appointment is ready, proceed to the wardrobe and accessories section, where you will have to select your desired costume and accessories then change in the dressing rooms provided. Step 3: This is where the wonderful world of make-up will take place by the professional make-up artists present on that day. So don't worry, you'll be in good hands! Step 4: At the movie-making workshop, pick up an appropriate superhero gadget of your choice to complete your superhero look. Step 5: When you feel super-heroish and you've got the personality to match, it's time to take a snapshot of your new look! At the photo booth, all you need to do is stand in front of the green screen backdrop and let your natural hero instincts lead you to pose, pose, pose! Step 6: After saving the world through your pictures, make your way to the digital imaging booth to see your end result. Collect your photo print and if you'd like to purchase another photo, feel free to do so. Then, return the costumes and props used so others can be a superhero too! But don't forget your collect back your NRIC! Don't miss out on this opportunity to dress up as your favourite superhero character at Malaysia's biggest movie event of the year - Movie Carnival 2009 at the Orange and Blue Concourse, Sunway Pyramid from 29 May to 7 June 2009. I believe those wise words from Andy Garcia from the 1992 comedy "Hero" when he said, "We're all heroes if you catch us at the right moment."
