So in 2 days (Starting on Friday) Minnesota will be holding its first Furry Convention  furrymigration.

I'm taking a non critical but still important job as lead Photographer and Videographer. It means its my job to record and promote people having fun at the convention- and I've already had a chance to do that. We did a series of promo videos, and I worked with a team as the Director of Photography/ Producer to get these done. While I did not like how the last video turned out at all, I have to admit I had a lot of fun filming it. In fact I had a lot of fun filming all 4 videos. Proof of that can be seen in the Out-takes video on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbPf97KjSVQ.

At first, I admit I was skeptical of how the con would do. A LOT of this has to do with my role on the Board of Directors for the parent organization  mnfurs. It's part of my job to see the worst case scenario and prepare for the impact to the community from it. That being said, I can tell people right now the worst case scenerio is NOT in play. They'll be some internal Drama, but there is with ANY convention. Right now I can't see FM as being anything other then a huge sucess. We've done really well for our pre-registration numbers and those usually speak for themselves come Con time.

Yes its still going to be a nice, small first year con. Its not going to be AC or MFF but that's not what I wanted to see. There is something genuine about the smaller and first year cons that have an appeal for me. And FM will be no different.

So I can say right now, yes I am excited for the convention. I am looking forward to being head of Photography and while its not a make or break role for the con like Registration or Operations it's still important and I will be kept very busy during the convention. And its something I enjoy doing :). I'll help out with the con in smaller ways when and where I can (I allready have) but if you see the big guy running around like crazy with video and photography equipment hanging off of him its probably me :).
