Comic Con 2001

Comic Con 2001

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.

Whenever we work as a broadcast video production crew at the San Diego Comic Con, the city’s largest convention, I always bring my camera so I can capture some unusual behind-the-scenes images. You see everything from Klingons and Predators to Avatars and lots of sexy wenches. And who doesn’t love BTS photographs? So here are a few pics

The vintage Batmobile was a highlight at the 2001 San Diego Comic Con.. Kids and Dads really seemed to get a kick out of it.  You could almost hear the TV series soundtrack swirling around in your head. Da da da da da da da da BATMAN! Pow! Zammo!  Blam!

It was 2001 when the premiere of “The Fellowship of the Ring” came to the big screen and launched the careers of several actors, along with director Peter Jackson.  Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan and Elijah Wood were all able to use their fame to great advantage. An entirely new generation became privy to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Not since meeting Vince Vaughn and Jewel at a Super Bowl red carpet appearance several years ago, had this sound technician been impressed by a super star. Why? When Mark Wahlberg came sauntering over to our crew, he looked at me and said, “How are you doing today?”
