The Tetrad Initiative returns triumphant from their first day documentary shooting at C2E2, the Chicago comic and entertainment expo! We got 12 professional interviews done, and two fan interviews with three fans each. We were only turned down by two interviewees, but special thanks to all the fantastic responses we got from artists and writers all around the convention! Our interviews were as follows-
KC Green - http://gunshowcomic.com/ - Enthusiastic and extremely nice to us, KC was our first interview of the day and the best first interview we could hope for!
Evan Dahm - http://www.rice-boy.com/ - Well spoken and very appreciative, Evan had some very unique perspective on fans and his fantasy epics Rice-Boy and Order of Tales.
David Willis - http://shortpacked.com/ - Toy fan and comic artist extraordinaire, and very funny in person.
Joel Watson - http://hijinksensue.com/ - We didn't interview him so much as he interviewed us! OUr only interview of the day to call US over! Extremely smart guy with a lot to say on our subject.
Fan Group One
Fan Group Two
Erika Moen - http://www.darcomic.org/ - Amazing humorist and comic artist in general, sharing a booth with SAIC's own Lucy Knisley.
Kevin Mellon - http://www.kevinmellon.blogspot.com/ - Very well spoken and fantastically talented artist behind Gearhead. One of our best interviews of the day.
Gary Friedrich - Creator of Ghost Rider! Getting on in the years, but a really nice guy to talk to, and with a lot to say about his long-held cult-following.
David Mack - http://www.davidmack.net/ - That's right, David Mack, writer and artist of Kabuki! Great talks. He had a lot to say about every subject, and everything he said had a genuine and sincere enthusiasm. Great to talk to, and he was nice enough to give us a lot of free stuff!
Jesse Rubenfeld - http://www.jesserubenfeld.net - Funny guy with a lot of really clever art. Got a totally awesome Dalek postcard!
Joan Varitek & Alayna Lemmer - http://www.joanvaritek.com & http://alayna.net - Dual interview! Two very different but very talented illustrators producing both original and fan work.
Gail Simone - The very talented writer behind Birds of Prey, Secret Six, and Wonder Woman! We accidentally ended up eating lunch at the same table as her husband, and we ended up getting a great interview with her out of that good fortune. Really awesome interview.
We'll be heading back to C2E2 tomorrow to capture more footage with fans and hopefully talk to some more artists & writer out there.
