In 2003, at the first Kumoricon, Klint from http://www.obsessedwithanime.com (currently unavailable) created a DVD of footage from the con. He also made DVDs of Sakuracon 2003 and 2004.

I bought these and I loved the footage of the cosplay contest and seeing clips of the craziness in the halls. I would definitely buy more if he ever made them.

I was hoping to encourage a new DVD to be made for/from next year's Kumoricon and I thought that if there was enough of a positive interest from attendees then staff might be willing to make the investment in creating one (and buying the equipment to do so).

"And remember, this is for posterity, so please be honest."

Edit - I forgot to put a "No, because I'm too poor" so please comment if you vote for a reason I haven't listed.

I would love a Kumoricon DVD! I plan on being there for everything, but in the off-season, about this time of the year, I would totally just sit down and watch it over and over again, getting myself hyped up as I work on costumes and what-not. Aside from Youtube, there is very little of that to be found, unfortunately. So, indeed, very much yes would I be into that idea. ^_^

I'd buy one for sure. I only have a video of the cosplay contest from NDK on my computer but I still watch that all the time.

I think we all just have such a fun time that we want something to sit down and watch every once in a while in memory. Hence the crazy amounts of picture taking.

Plus in X amount of years, how funny is it going to be showing it to your kids?
"Hey look honey, there's mom! The one in the pink wig! Look! We're doing a barrel roll! ...and oh, there's dad. Yeah, the blue skinned angry one getting spanked with a yaoi paddle by that fangirl."

Good times.

I would definately buy one because I know I won't be able to make all the events I want so it would be cool to see what I missed on a DVD.

Kimiski · « **Reply #4 on:** May 30, 2007, 01:51:13 pm »

Heck yes Id buy one all the way. I usally dont miss the cosplay, AMV and dont bother about karoke, in truth its the little but fun panels I always seem to miss... T.T like Dating Game, Voice Actor, Amv panels and anime that scarred me for life, ect. Plus Id want it to re-watch all year while waiting for the next Kcon!

Kotoumi · « **Reply #6 on:** May 30, 2007, 05:28:04 pm »

Yes.

I would.

'Cause I cried when I had to leave last year. ><

Trumby · « **Reply #7 on:** May 30, 2007, 11:13:19 pm »

I would probably buy one, yeah. It would be cool.

BoredHorror · « **Reply #8 on:** May 31, 2007, 01:53:32 pm »

I would definetly buy one! It would be so much fun to watch after it's all over. I always say to my friends, "okay, I'm gonna make a documentary of kumoricon this year." then later, I get so sidetracked with everything that's going on I forget to film anything. Having the dvd would be a nice way of remembering the con and getting excited for the next one etc.

If you do end up making one, you should make sure to get lots of interviews with the convention attendees as well as filming events.

I think a good example to follow is that star trek film about fandom and the convention world. it had interviews over several cons and at the homes of some people. Of course it will need a person to do all the interviews (Who was mostly out of the camera) and some really wacked or intence fans.

I hate to burst your bubble Dan, but the point of Trekies was basically, "lol, look how pathetic these idiots are." And they were indeed pathetic excuses for human beings. Some of them I pitied, others, I wanted to strangle.

Vondan · « **Reply #11 on:** May 31, 2007, 06:18:05 pm »

Actually I thought it was a cute funny show. I have not seen the second one but I know the main kid they interview not only found a trekky princess nerdia at the con they were at but two years ago won an emmy for his CGFX work on Battle Star Galactica

Yup, that's the one I wanted to pummel with my bare hands! The thought of him with a woman is almost enough to ruin the very idea of sex. I just hope they don't spawn.

Pie Row Maniac · « **Reply #13 on:** June 01, 2007, 05:28:23 pm »

I'd buy one just so I can relive some of the con's moments

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #14 on:** June 01, 2007, 06:35:59 pm »

I would buy it.

Then I would try and see if I appeared in it at all, even if it's in the background. *___*

leashy · « **Reply #15 on:** June 01, 2007, 10:22:10 pm »

That would rock and it could make some serious money for the con! We should definitely look into it!

Totally agreed. There could even be, if anyone else thinks it a good idea, volunteer "filming forumsters" who just film with whatever devices they have available. Like, I've got a digital camera with a nigh-illimitable memory, perfect for filming. If it came down to it, or if it was deemed a good idea, I wouldn't mind walking around with a cam in front of my face, heh. Not at all. ^_^

Negima · « **Reply #17 on:** June 03, 2007, 02:20:06 pm »

Oh yeah, I would definitely buy a DVD of the con. ^_^

Lin · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:38:59 pm »

I would love one!

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #19 on:** August 14, 2007, 06:59:05 am »

Wow, thanks for bumping this. we're going to have someone video taping many of our events this year and hopefully we can make that available to the public by the time the General Elections roll around.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #20 on:** September 10, 2007, 02:37:25 pm »

I'd definitely buy one.

I hope that by next year things will work out and we'll have one!

stonemonkthewise · « **Reply #21 on:** September 11, 2007, 06:32:17 pm »

I'd buy a few and give a couple to some friends as well... though if both staff members and fan boys/girls organize a group for "capturing" the Kumoricon experience in it's entirety. That would be something I wouldn't mind being apart of. It all comes down to how well everyone could pull together and create this...

Another topic discusses some of this as well...

Same here. I look at people's pics and try to spot any of the shirts I wore. :\

(I check everyone's con pictures to see if I'm in any of them... never happened once.)

Also, I am FOAR this movie.

OK, since we have some people hard at work on the DVD right now, I'm going to lock this thread.

We'll start one up next year ins say....June.... to make sure that we can get feedback on the 2007 dvd and find out what people want to see in 2008!
