pasitheaI'm finally back from the convention and making content and such... I'm sooo tired but it was wildly fun! In the end I produced about a dozen commercials for FCTV, five news programs, one godzilla movie, and I helped keep the station on the air for four days solid!
I'm told that the channel was a huge success (and if that's not true, don't tell me, I wanna keep believing it) On Sunday, our programming had higher ratings than the Superbowl! (Okay, for the hotel, not the world, but it's a start) I'll be putting up commercials and other stuff I did in a few days but I'm gonna rest first. :)
Everyone at the convention was great! I worked a lot with Chip_Unicorn, Roon, Moth, Kiala, and Spuds. All of them are GREAT people! I never knew that running a TV channel was so hard though! The first night we were on the air, I was up until 5AM making sure the station would stay running through the night and then back again at 8Am the next morning because the morning shift hadn't come in and we went off-air for almost five minutes! This was the only outtage during the whole convention though. I ran from my room and played cartoons until I was able to find out what other content to play. :)
The highlights of my time at FCTV were probably people's reactions to the commercials, making the Renegade News, and the BEST! Editing the Godzilla movie!!!!! I put probably a thousand sound effects in that on 4 different audio tracks! it was so much fun! I was told that one of the Guests of Honor asked for a copy even! People really really seemed to love it. Right after it aired, the MainStage area filled with people asking them to run it again. they played it twice on the giant projector and then again on TV that night for the fans. All the backstage crew was smiling and hugging cause we had all been working so hard and were so tired and I think that was the moment we started realizing that we were a huge success!
anyhow, I can't wait for next year! with more than three weeks to work on commercials and such I'll be able to do some stuff that's really good! :)
