The jangling phone woke us early one Saturday morning. It was our producer friend at Inside Edition. “Can you guys get your video production crew together and head up to Lake Elsinore to videotape some lingerie sky divers?”
Um, YEAH!
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.
The characters from the movies that Tim Burton has created come alive during every Comic Con. Our company, Crystal Pyramid Productions, has covered the San Diego Comic Con for more than two decades, sending out broadcast video production crews to collect footage for clients including Nickelodeon, 20th Century Fox and Extra. In 2009, due to the Incredible Shrinking Economy, Mark and I freelanced, capturing stock footage of the costumed attendees and behind-the-scenes with some of the celebrities for our own stock footage library, called New & Unique Videos.
