Okay guys, I can't believe I spent 8+ hours on this 4 and a half min vid, but I did. This is Day 0 & Day 1 of FanimeCon 2011. I hope some of you see people you recognize (or EVEN BETTER, you are IN IT!) The video is KINDA nsfw so if you are at work, I would wait till after work.

I also linked a few photos from flickr with the video, please let me know what you guys think of it. I had a blast meeting some of you from the valve gathering and was totally blown away by the amount of work that went into some of the cosplay! Can't wait to come back next year.

Hey Brutal, that link is not working for me, not sure why but it goes to a 404 forbidden page and occasionally a wiki page on hyperlinks... really weird. Not sure if it's only me.

Here's my pics of the meet up mixed in with the rest of the my 2011 photos.

Thank you for this. I don't have almost any pictures of myself at the Con because Half Life is pretty much dead lol.

[Avairrianna]

Has anyone seen any pics of myself as Zoey with my Bill? I have yet to see any of me T_T This would have been Day 0 and 1 and occasional half-assed times.

Hey all! The one and only RED Heavy Weapons Guy here. I'd heard about the fourms, but I never really took the time to notice and register for them. ^_^; I had a great time with all you Valve cosplayers and I am looking forward to seeing you all again next year too. ^_^

Avairrianna, you did a good job running the gathering ^__^  This year was my first video game cosplay and gathering.

Here are a few teaser pics of the gathering.  I included other gatherings I participated and my friends.  I plan to upload all the pics sometime during the summer.  Thanks for waiting!

Okay! Here it is! I've finished the Saturday & Sunday FanimeCon 2011 video featuring the VALVE GATHERING on SUNDAY!

I had a friend take over for when I was posing. I didn't think I had very much good footage of the Valve Gathering but I was surprised to see I actually did get a lot of you guys in there!

FULL High Definition 1080p versions on both

I'm glad I met you all, I wish I had spent more time with you guys before and after to get some really good posing and B roll, but that will have to be for next year. :) Please feel free to leave me lots of feedback, it keeps me going since I did this with a crappy lens and zero budget. xD

by the numbers
Prolly a good 15-25 hours of editing for all days from day 0-4.
A good 3-4 hours of rendering.
And a hand full of hours proofing and getting it decent.
another 2-4 hours uploading to youtube and vimeo.

Haha, I remember you! You were the girl with the EPIC rocket launcher! You were with the Medic right? You guys made the guns from scratch right? I've got a few pics of you I had my friends take. Right now I'm editing a few videos out of the footage I got from Fanime. I'll post a link to the photos later. I have a ton of questions for you about how you put your cosplay together as well. I wanted to take you out to lunch so we could talk about it I was so impressed!

Thank you so much, I'm really flattered! And yeah, they were all made from scratch. I'd be happy to answer any questions about the construction. I really think anyone could make these props if they had access to the tools, it's not too difficult!

Here are some pics of the props with comparisons that I made:

Rocket launcher (It deserves a full image, DAMN IT.)
