Larger than life costumes at NDP 2011

SINGAPORE: Singaporeans can expect a larger-than life spectacle at this year's National Day Parade.
That is because the annual parade is returning with over 700 mascots - dressed in elaborate costumes to depict the different cultures and unique aspects of Singapore.
From larger than life puppets to elaborately-designed costumes, this year's parade is set to be another colourful extravaganza.
For some participants, they will be dressing up as prata or satay to represent food items commonly found in Singapore.
And some have gamely embraced their roles.
"I feel I'm a prata man. It's kind of like when you put on the costume, you forget who you are and you are into the role," said participant Patrick Teo.
Other participants said the costumes needed some time getting used to.
"It's interesting and challenging, because it is quite a huge mascot, and when you walk, you have to walk properly, because it might hit your knee, and it is quite warm inside also," said participant Sheryl Tan.
The designs were the creations of 39-year-old Frederick Lee, who said it took about 10 months to put everything together.
"A mascot is much much difficult to perform in because it's larger than life. A lot of time, it depends on certain acts that we have, like this year, the opening act is actually influenced from different parts of the world (the archipelago, India and China) coming to Singapore so these are mascots that represent the part of the country," said Lee.
This is the third time Lee is contributing to the parade as a costume designer.
He was also the costume designer for the parade in 2008 and 2009.
