Hearsefest in Hell Michigan.
First time con. First time organizer. Lots of great venders. I even did a presentation.
This is also an example on what you video at an event that wasn’t very popular. A lot of great people were still at the event.
Another great con by Yourcomiccon.com
This year I decided to help organize a con. I was the Media Track Head for Penguicon 2016. I helped organize and schedule about 20 hours of programing and was a panelist on several panels. Somehow I still made time to make a video.

Ypsilanti Comic Con 2016
While at FantastiCon I had the opportunity to interview a few people. The obvious are the featured guests (in this case the “Comic Book Men”). I also thought about talking to an independent artist who’s daughter is also an artist (didn’t get her age but she was younger than 10). She makes her own art and sketch cards and sells them at conventions. Her father does watch the transactions, but for the most part she runs her own booth.
I used to do interviews at events. I stopped doing this because the videos were not getting many views or interaction. People are more interested in the “b-roll” style videos focusing on cosplay and other footage vs interviews with people and any commentary I have about the events.
I was also doing vlogs about events as well. Again I do not feel they were getting many views. I also feel that the vlogs can come repetitive. If I don’t have anything special to the event to say/do at events I tend to repeating the same things. If I had a second shooter and I did more talking points during the events, that would improve the vlogs. However when I am at an event the cosplay/highlights video does have priority and I do spend most of the time focused on getting footage for that. I am hoping these blogs do not become receptive for the same reasons.
Comments are welcomed, and of course feel free to browse my previous videos to see examples.

I really wish I could have done more zombie events this October. One event I am glad I didn’t miss was the Wyandotte Zombie Pub Crawl. In it’s second year this event more than doubled in size. This Pub Crawl benefits Yes Ma’am. The Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital “Yes, Ma’am” program provides free mammograms to uninsured women in the Downriver (downriver from Detroit, Michigan) region on an annual basis (taken from the Yes Ma’am’s website).
Whenever there are zombies walking around a downtown area and not getting hit by cars, I call that a win.
