SacAnime 1/2008

Postby surfsama » Mon Jan 07, 2008 2:10 am

Anyone going to attend this Con? I was a little bummed because I didn't see an AMV contest this time but it appears Pwolf will be hosting a panel so that should be cool to see.

I'll be there with my Nikon so there should be pictures to share.

Well if I was in the area, you wouldn't see me going anyway. Not without your cape and crown that is! I DEMAND YOU WEAR YOUR REGAL GEAR KING PWOLF! :twisted:

Hmmm...don't know what all the, "crown-and-cape" is about but it should be fun.

yea... Except i hope i'll actually do some more talking and not just show random videos. It might end up like that though, lol...


I always believed the panel dialogue was scripted by the presentation host. Does the audience lose interest when you start talking about the nuts-and-bolts of a well-made AMV?

Well, last year, no one showed up >.> Combination of miscommunication and other events. So i pretty much just started showing random videos i wanted to show. Eventually some people showed up and all i really did was answer a few questions and show videos. Most of the people there just wanted to see videos anyway.

What i'm going to do this year, hopefully with a larger audience, is talk briefly about what an amv is, what type of software and equipment you use, and then just show videos and take questions. I was planning on bringing my computer with me to show some editing but I only have 1 hour and for an "intro to" type panel, i don't think i should get too technical.

One idea for a later con is to do an Intro to AMVs panel one day and then do an Advanced panel later where i can skip the basics and go right into the guts of it all. might have to wait for SacAnime to get a little larger though.

Since you plan on going, is there anything you would like me to go over?

I'd like to know how it feels to be the KING?

On a more serious note, panels can be whatever the panelist wants to be honest. I've seen horrible panels where it was just circle-jerking and I've seen (and hopefully run) panels where the audience seemed truly engaged and a lot of things were asked and answered.

It's not exactly scripted per se (in fact most probably don't), but it does matter what mentality the panelists themselves come in with and what they think will be useful to the audience.

Knowing KING PWOLF, just ask stuff, he'll answer it.

...THAT IS IF YOU END EVERY SENTENCE WITH "YOUR MAJESTY" :lol:

After noodling this over, I can see how it could be difficult to script a presentation for 1 hour to an unpredictable audience that covers a range of topics from basic editing techniques to interlacing, compression, rotoscoping, etc...

Well, even if you're just going over the basics I'll listen as there is always something to learn.
