What I Did On My Dragon*Con Vacation
I do a fair amount of boring stuff for Dragon*Con, including keeping track of radios that the staff uses and helping the trains run on time. I figure you’re not interested in that. What you’re interested in are the videos I make for Dragon*ConTV. I’ve sort of carved out a niche in that group: making videos for childrens’ products.
Last year it was baby food:
This year it was educational shows from NickJr:
Later I’ll talk a bit about our process and what I’ve learned over three (!) years of doing this. As to why I do this: It’s all about the kids.

[...] Here lately I’ve been interested in the process and analysis of creative endeavors: how is creativity turned into something tangible, and how well does it work for the audience? Blame it on the stuff I’ve been doing for Dragon*ConTV and my natural tendency to analyze.
