“San Diego Comic-Con International is a multi-genre entertainment and comic convention held annually in San Diego, California, United States. It was founded as the Golden State Comic Book Convention in 1970 by a group of San Diegans that included Shel Dorf, Richard Alf, Ken Krueger, and Mike Towry; later, it was called the “San Diego Comic Book Convention”.
Mark and I have worked as a video production crew at the San Diego Comic Con for decades. It fills to capacity with 130,000 geeks, nerds and fan people who are poised over their laptops in the month of March. Tickets sell out within minutes. Adjoining buildings absorb some of the overflow with panels and celebrity red carpet events.
While trolling online, I came across the video that I had edited back in 2010 for DreamWorks. This is the San Diego Comic Con Megamind Panel featuring Will Ferrell, Tina Fey and Jonah Hill, who were there to promote their film, Megamind. It contains footage that was shot for I-mag (those large “Image magnification” screens you see in big conventions and events) by convention videographers. Plus it has hand-held crowd footage shot by the DreamWorks producer. I sewed it together into this amazingly awesome video.
SD Comic Con is the most attended of any convention in the City of San Diego.
It is truly intimidating in its Hulk-like proportions. Over the years, our video production company, Crystal Pyramid Productions, has provided crews to broadcast studios such as 20th Century Fox, Nickelodeon, M-TV, Daily Variety, Savan, and many others.
Geeks, nerds and costumed characters take over the city for four glorious days. As an elite video production crew in San Diego, our clients have called on us for over 25 years now to go and shoot interviews with celebrities, B-Roll of the masses, and Panels for various television shows and movies.
We shot for Electric Playground that year. Julie Stoffer from MTV’s The Real World, was the on-air talent. She was a lovely young woman who knew how to elicit nice interviews from talent. We ran into Bryan Singer on the floor where he was checking out various booths. He was the Producer of “Superman Returns” and “X Men.” He consented to a short interview. Considering what befell him in 2017 during the #MeToo movement, 2001 was his hey-day. It seemed like he had nowhere to go but up.
