Fan Expo 2009: Photoreport 55

Fan Expo Canada 2009: Photoreport 55

The Masquerade MC sheds a tear as he thanks the Staff and Stage Ninjas for the total-surprise birthday skit at the podium of the stage of the Fan Expo Masquerade on Saturday, August 29, 2009. Fan Expo Canada 2009, the largest convention in Canada, was held in Toronto, ON at the MTCC South building on Aug 28-30.

Gord rarely cries, and this time he almost couldn't hide it.

Fri, Nov 20, 2009 - MCP9 on November 29th

Montreal Cosplay Photoshoot 9 will be held on Sunday, November 29, 2009 at Jean-Drapeau Park.

Tue, Nov 3, 2009 - To do for November

I have a few things to do for November:

- Plan out and prepare for the December 6th Montreal Comic-Con (DMCC). Yes, I accepted an offer from the Comic-Con staff to be their... Official Masquerade Photographer. Since I don't have a dSLR, they will help me pay part or all of the camera rental fee. I'll rent the usual Canon Rebel XSi & 18-200mm lens. My main task will be to take official photos of the contestants in the Green Room prior to going on Stage. Where and how the Green Room, Stage and Auditorium will be set up will be discussed at meetings in the upcoming weekends.
- Create a thread for MCP9 on the Otakuthon.com forums. Since the cold season is already here, we'll hold the photoshoot somewhere inside. We're currently collecting suggestions for interior locations. We'll include past locations as vote choices.
- Attend :iconmannaka:'s November House Dinner. I'll bring two 2L bottles of Coke and Sprite. :D :iconaoifasd: should drive me to her place with :iconsweettifa: and another person (incumbent at the moment; will probably someone who lives near her, or the seat left unoccupied). The Dinner is on Nov 14th.
- Attend :iconstarfighter7:'s Birthday GT. We'll play pool or bowling, though she's currently leaning towards bowling. :roll: Should be in the weekend of Nov 21-22.
- Prepare for :icontrixyloupwolf:'s Annual Christmas Dinner. Last year was fun, and this year should be the same! ^_^
- Send out pictures to people I owe pictures. Yes, I have a long backlog... Please bear with me. ^^; I should be giving out pics every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and use the other days to upload pics to my dA Gallery.

In other news:

- My 3D Modeling & Animation courses are going well, apart a recent happening: My Maya files get sometimes corrupted when I save them. Perhaps I should always set my "Project" folder properly when working on a new Scene?
- The Oct 24 Kingdom Hearts photoshoot was held at Chateau St-Ambroise due to the rain. I met a lot of people, including :iconshininkyaslyxel: and their cosplay group! They also attended our MCP, and it's always great to see new people join our shoots.
- The Oct 30 2009 Otakuthon Halloween Party was held at the Holiday Inn Select in Chinatown. This year, they had over 300 attendees, compared to about 50 last year. The organizers suffered many difficulties in making this party, and as a result was scored overall less good than last year's party by those who attended both, but was deemed great by first-timers, who enjoyed the warmth, sympathy and friendliness of the party people. The important was to have fun, and I did have fun myself. :) I took over 800 pictures, and will post them on Friday and over the weekend.
- Also, due to the busy October month (as you can read from :iconmannaka:'s journal [link] ), my picture backlog has grown to an astronomical size. According to my calculations, if I don't attend any shoot, GT or meeting for the next 5 weeks, I should be able to process 50% of my pictures by working/uploading about 30 pics a day. I'll need an extra 5 weeks to process the other 50%, but by then my backlog would have grown again from attending the events that I listed above. ^^;

Wed, Oct 7, 2009 - Back to school

Yes folks, I no longer work as a QA Tester at EA Mobile Montreal! I'm now back to school.

I was accepted into the program Modélisation et Animation 3D (3D Modeling and Animation) at CÉGEP Collège de Bois-de-Boulogne, in their Adult Education program set. We'll learn to model, rig, texture, animate and render on Autodesk Maya 2009 and Photoshop CS4 (which I already know how to use). We'll also learn some traditional drawing with pencil and paper.

So please expect to see some 3D artworks from me in the near future, as I learn and do stuff in Maya! :D The program is 16 months long, over 4 semesters, ending in February 2011.

Since the 3D industry is pretty much English, but the college is French, we have these particularities in my courses:

- Maya 2009 software: ENGLISH
- Photoshop CS4 software: FRENCH
- Windows OS, other software: FRENCH
- Computer keyboard: FRENCH
- Other computer hardware: ENGLISH
- Language of teaching: FRENCH
- Student-Teacher communications: ENGLISH and FRENCH
- Teachers' origins: ENGLISH and FRENCH
- Books: ENGLISH and FRENCH
- Examples, demos: ENGLISH and FRENCH
- Exercises, exams: FRENCH

Most teachers were ex-teachers from Le Centre NAD, one of the best and well-known French private colleges for 3D Animation. I chose to study at Bois-de-Boulogne for 3 reasons:

- It's close to my house. Only 15 mins of walking, max.
- The college is known for its high quality of teaching.
- My program is entirely subsidized by the provincial government.

Sure, the college has more girls than guys and most girls are pretty, :love: but the determining point is the 3rd one: My program is entirely financed by Emploi Québec, which means that the students don't need to pay a single cent to study it, not even the $30 New Student Registration fee! :D Other than costing nothing to me, the college is near my house, the girls are pretty (I say it again :heart:) and the program itself is fun!

In other news:
I attended a few cosplay photoshoots in the past weekends, as well as the 2009 Montreal Comic-Con, where I wore again my Guan Ping closet cosplay. I hosted the first MCP of the 2008-2009 season last weekend, and will attend a few more cosplay photoshoots/events in the days to come.

:iconhenrickson:
Très peu... Il faut se présenter à nos photoshoots pour:

- Te présenter et te faire connaître.
- Rencontrer des cosplayers.
- "Tisser" des liens avec les autres photographes et cosplayers.

C'est comme ça que certains photographes se sont joints à nous, et qu'ils ont pu trouver des cosplayers.

Au hasard, cherche dans des forums pour des cosplayers qui recherchent des photographes cosplay... Mais il y a ben des chances que c'est nous qui ré pondront à leurs requêtes!

Pour nommer quelques cosplayers, je dirais :iconryoky28::icontrixyloupwolf::iconfallenangel2174:. Côté photographes, je dirais :iconmaverickdelta::iconmannaka: pour leur demander conseil.

Uchimon Theme: Uchiha! Gatta kill'em all~~ I know it's my Destiny! Uchiha! oh ur my best emo~~
:iconhenrickson:
It would be a challenge, as I have over 6 GB of photos and videos... I'll do as I do usually, resize them and upload them to my Sendspace.com account for all to download. :) But for you specifically, no problem, I can send you the original-size shots, once I sort them out on Friday evening.

thank you for the fav ^_^
:iconhenrickson:
You're welcome! :)

I'm trying to form a Dynasty Warriors group in my area right now... I know there is a strong interest to cosplay as characters from the games, and we already got a completed Zhen Ji [Strikeforce], Lu Xun [6: Empires] and Xing Cai [5]. I hope I can convince enough people to join us! We have many talented cosplayers around here, and with our talent, we can make a really impressive DW cosplay group!
