1993 I'd gone to the 2 back to back cons (AnAm,AX) and my first time with a camcorder, hence why I have some other vids in YT. I really didn't know what I was doing e regards to it. Just wanted something I could remember it later by

Does this violate some law of physics, like crossing the streams?

Ryan Gavigan @gavv.bsky.social · Jun 29

Yep. I'd like to also start to be able to put stuff up there myself. But I don't know the ins and outs of doing it 'correctly' :). Mind giving me a few pointers?

I've uploaded a piece of anime con ephemera here: youtu.be/8-fRFvpXUHM, the AnimEigo panel from Anime Expo '93. Full of awful vhs camcordering and sound issues from yours truly. thru a quick pass of whisper subs on it to make up for the non-mic audio being so low. #otakuarchive

The answer is at that Anime Expo, @animeigo.com hosted a panel that became a de facto focus group. They debuted snippets of their first ever dub (riding bean) where they showed multiple takes of scenes, with the audience voting and gaving feedback on the various choices.

Going thru some old convention documents... remember this @worldofcrap.bsky.social ? 😀
