Months back Stephen, Crispy & I went to a Jonathan Coulton concert in Atlanta. Footage Crispy & I shot at the concert is used in a Yahoo! People of the Web video profiling Mr. Coulton’s music, plus clips from Dragon*ConTV’s music video for Re Your Brains.
While Dragon*ConTV is all about Dragon*Con, we do have to give it up for other sci-fi conventions and their original thinking. Phoenix Comic Con is hosting their first annual Zombie Beauty Pageant (Jan 26-27). They will award three prizes:
I love sci-fi conventions 
After reviewing fifty video tapes from Dragon*Con 2007, Brian managed to find his video of Zombie Vision … wandering about the convention with the camera rig we used on Thinkin’ Strips to see what Dragon*Con looks like to a zombie. Have fun with this little bonus footage from Dragon*ConTV.
Phil Searfoss, a member of the Dragon*Con Technical Operations (TechOps) staff passed away yesterday morning. Phil was a friend of many people at Dragon*ConTV, and even officiated the wedding of TechOps staffers Thomas & Barrie Kerns. He will be missed.
Taken 11-9-2007 @ the Five Spot in Atlanta, GA by Amy. L to R: Stephen (zombie action star), Jonathan Coulton (nerd troubadour), Brian (makes Stormtrooper videos in his basement), Crispy (once choked with a Wii-mote in my living room), Asai (hates having her photo posted on the Internet … sorry).
Stephen, Crispy and Brian will be at the Jonathan Coulton show tonight @ The Five Spot. We’ll have videocameras in hand, grabbing footage to submit to Yahoo! News or just use to make more content for this wacky podcast. Plus we have to meet the man who inspired this Dragon*ConTV video …
Brian from Dragon*ConTV is a guest on Slice of SciFi #131: Voicemail Show and Slice of SciFi #132. Enjoy the madness.
Great article on Dragon*Con 2007 Star Trek Programming (”TrekTrak“) at StarTrek.com.
First of all, kudos to Eric Watts, the Dragon*Con TrekTrak director, for putting on programming worthy of this glowing review. I’ve worked with the guy since the first day of volunteering for Dragon*Con and he puts everything into his show.
Second, check out page two of the article … there are two paragraphs about Dragon*ConTV near the bottom. From the article …
In the bigger rooms where video screens were set up to aid viewing of the celebrities, between events those screens displayed a variety of clever interstitial content produced by many Dragon*Con volunteers and friends which kept the gathering audiences laughing. The content included short videos such as an infomercial for Stormtrooper school, where you learn to miss every target you fire at, or an ad for a show called “The Simple Life: Ensigns,” where two ditzy cadets beam aboard the Enterprise and say things like, “Romulans … that’s hot” …
The crew at DCTV spends a lot of effort making sure people are entertained by our videos, so this is a great compliment to their work. Plus I learned a new word reading this article … “interstitial”
Dragon*ConTV showed a lot of great videos that were not produced by our volunteer crew. If you watched the in-house channel you may have seen these. Here’s a big pile of links to some cool content.
