Youmacon 2008 Trailer 2 - Old Con (Cons Have Changed)

[SachiHatake]

I guess maybe while it's true that there are a lot of Bleach and Naruto cosplayers, it somehow seems like you're really being a jerk to those who like those cosplays. Just because someone may like or even cosplay a Naruto or Bleach character doesn't mean they're solely into listening to bad dubs and all that jazz.

I guess it just sounds presumptuous and somewhat offensive to have a video like this. Of course, I really could be wrong too. Whatever the case...

It's a parody sir. We're poking fun at the conventions and very subject we attend them to celebrate. We don't have any problems with any types of cosplayers, at no point in the video did we say "If you cosplay from Naruto or Bleach you have poor taste in anime." So please don't assume our intentions.

It's also a very concept specific trailer, the dialog is a point for point mimicry of the opening scene of MGS4, the story of a man (Con goer) disillusioned (Frustrated) of the very wars (Cons) he lives to fight(Attend). If you haven't seen the original work, our version will likely not have the intended effect.

(It's also really hard to find good stock footage of giant let's say... Chobits gatherings.)

((That thing about yaoi paddles is totally true, I'm so tired of those things.))

BTW.... if you guys are coming to youmacon... You guys (and maybe me) should do a panel on how the cons were like.. BACK IN THE DAY! It seems you guys know how it was like back then, basing how you guys did this video...

[legendofonestar]

(voiceover guy here)

we applied to do a panel already, youma still hasnt gotten back to us... ;_;

[daeganmoo]

I will note that this "panel" is completely unrelated but altogether still awesome.

[legendofonestar]

CANCEL THAT. WE DOIN' THIS.

[soulcrash]

I do have to admit that this vid is so true and bad ass....even though you used some of my clips... -.- (points the 2min mark)

[daeganmoo]

Ironically, by the time I got near the end yours were the only ones who I remembered the person who uploaded them.

I didn't think it would be fair to only credit you. ^_^ if it's not cool with you, though, i can always bop it out. It was really hard to find anything else other than those two clips that had anyone in IRT gear though.

BTW, how much video did you take in 2006? I haven't looked through your stuff in a while (there's a lot of it!) but that MV still impresses the hell out of me. :D

[legendofonestar]

You've really outdone yourself sir. This is easily your best trailer ever.

5/5
