This was the very first time I tried doing an interview with my camera and Zoom H4n audio recorder.  Definitely shows that I had no cameraman, hehe.

Figuring out my NYCC 2011 Schedule

Hopefully I can figure out interviews on the fly while I’m there!  Just haven’t had time to make contact in advance.  ;_;

Anyway, here’s my list of booths I want to visit for buying things, filming footage, and attempting quick interviews:
ActionFigureXpress (1846)
Activision (738) – Matt Tieger/Fall of Cybertron
Bluefin Tamashii (1612)
Entertainment Earth (644)
Glyos/Onell (578)
Hasbro (302)
Hasbro (NC128)
Kidrobot (774)
Kotobukiya (332)
Mattel (1222)
Mezco (345)
Muteki Sales (149)
Super7 (688)
ThreeA (883)
Toy Tokyo (976)
Probably missing some important ones, subject to alteration~

I might re-edit the Faction Feud for Blip.TV, but that’s at least a week or two out if I do it this month.

Bound for Toronto, Bound for NYCC, Bound for Press

I will be moving to Toronto for a while on September 28th, in an excitingly uncertain and risky situation that I could probably better describe in a devoted blog post someday in the future.

As a result, I will be making it to the now Greyhound-able New York Comic Con!  I’m really excited since it may well be the biggest convention I’ve attended to date.

Adding to that excitement is the fact that I have been approved for my first-ever press badge.  I recently acquired a Zoom H4n audio recorder for the purposes of upping my audio quality in videos that aren’t toy reviews and streamlining my mobile audio recording set-up, which means I am going to try and put together some coverage of the NYCC that will hopefully not be as amateurly-made as my usual fare.  I intend to make good on the press badge and try to at least give some worthy coverage of the independent toy company exhibitors who have, in particular, drawn my attention to the show.  This perhaps means the NYCC will be a bit more work than play on my end, but I’m still really pumped.  😀  Hoping to record several Vaudiosonic podcasts, as well as a vlog and a couple of interviews.

So if you’re going to the show, I hope to see you there!  Right now I suspect I will do a lot of loitering around any booth related to Glyos.  Also, I got a ticket to see Jay & Silent Bob Get Old at the show, so live podcast audiencing times lie ahead!

Vangelus and Peaugh have a chat about the good ol’ days of $1 Animated Voyagers on ebay, getting into video reviewing, and more as they sit down in a hotel room at Botcon 2011.

Things can always go wrong, even when you’re filming $400+ toys.

I’ve also added this to the Overlord review page!  Many thanks again to Jarod, and many more approving nods to Aaron and Peaugh.
