PART 1
In this episode, Blair meets the Legendary Sergio Aragones and Mike fends off tumbleweed from behind the Possum Press/Ultraist Studios table in Artist Alley, at Wondercon.
Part 2
The exciting conclusion, where business picks up, and stormtroopers read The Possum.
Last March, Mike and I purchased a handy Flip HD Video camera with the intent of filming our exploits at conventions. The first convention we attended since then was Wondercon in San Francisco, which you can view above. Since then, Mike’s been to Mocca in New York, and we were both at SPACE in Ohio. The footage from MOCCA has been edited (which is up on the Ultraist Studios blog and will be up here shortly), and SPACE is being edited as we speak. In July, we’re looking forward to the San Diego Comicon, which should be a lot of fun, and that will be followed by the Toronto Fan Expo in August, and Toronto’s Word on the Street shortly after. Keep an eye out on this blog for videos from those shows too!
Cool video. The suspense with you two guys trying to get into your hostel room was nervewracking! Glad you got in. (Nice editing with the music, too!).
And it’s great to be in a video with the legendary Sergio Aragones, as well as Canada’s comic book Dynamic Duo.
Certainly was a highlight for me finally getting the chance to meet the two of you. Will look forward to Pr. 2.
Javier
Javier!!
I just noticed that I had your name and website appear when you were talking (like with Sergio), but something happened to it while I was exporting….. I’ll get it fixed as soon as I can upload again on vimeo (they have a 500MB per week limit on uploading videos).
That was a really fun convention, and meeting the legendary Sergio Aragones AND the legendary Javier Hernandez in the same day was almost as much as I could take.
Are you going to San Diego this year? We’ll be there!
I’m planning on at least visiting San Diego this year. Saturday is the most likely day. A bunch of friends and I head on over to Old Town San Diego by tram for a great meal of Mexican food and Strawberry Margaritas! I wholeheartedly invite you and Mike to join us if you can.
Oh, and I just watched PT. 2 of your coverage. Great stuff. And like a Marvel movie, folks gotta wait until the end of the credits to see an Easter egg! Hilarious!
What amazed me about the video also was that I knew about several of those people you got on the camera. A.J. Herrera was interviewing you guys for his podcast, my friends John Narcomey and James Baker stopped by your booth. You got video of my pals Jason Martin and Keith Knight. Man, I feel like I’ve been kicking around the indie comics biz for about 12 years or so…(which I have!!)
[…] convention as well, so keep an eye out for a Comicon 2010 Video Blog coming soon, much like our Wondercon Video Blog. (There’s also a S.P.A.C.E. Video Blog that is 99% finished too, which should be online […]
