Unrelated, but we're aware of the Champs ad. Hopefully it'll be gone soon.

Put boob-type imagery on the header and I'm checking it out. No joke.

That was a great video.

I must admit, the batman point-and-duck-and-AWKWARD did make me actually lol. Looks like those guys had one hell of a great time! I'm glad people are largely accepting cosplay as just serious fancy dress rather than anything weird. And fair play, some of these costumes and props are amazing!

I love the bit with the Bane guy at the end

Amazing!

lol Yaya Break. I can't imagine how much that corset is giving her grief. >_>

Very nicely shot and edited. I too thought the Batman misdirection was great. Bane's sign was awesome too. The Lady Deathstrike cosplay was a great choice that you don't see often.

I haven't heard of Dragoncon until this year. THIS is what goes on there? This is incredible.

That video was really well made and the cosplay was frakking AMAZING!

Azo's showreel and beatdownboogie's Dragon*Con videos are two of small group of my favourite things on YouTube. Can't wait for The Really Really Long version of this.

The quality of the costumes and camerawork are always good in these videos. I'm glad we've put some of the positive cosplay stuff instead of the 'ugh' variety.

is dragoncon just one, giant costume party? that looked fun as hell.

Props to the guy cosplaying as the Beyonder!!! Awesome!!

{Oh, and Hedonism Bot made me smile.}

To those with questions about the con, it is a show I have been working for 12 years now. That video there is honestly just a part of what the entire show is about. There are a couple of other great videos that came out this year.

A fan made video parody, "Last Dragon Con" really does a great job summing up the con. So many zany and fun things happen there. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shrNm-tXJgs

Dragon Con Gangnam Style (This was released just as this meme hit the peak, so of course it is already old. But it truly captures the spirit of the fun we have there.) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS3IS1WWpPU

A couple of years ago, PBS came out and shot a fantastic documentary about it. It does a great job at capturing the culture of the show. It even went on to win an Emmy. - http://video.pba.org/video/2065738625/

My actual job is to work on the video staff, helping to produce video content for the show. Our "side" project is what we call DragonConTV. We have a lot of parody and original bits, with varying degrees of funny. All of this airs on an in-house channel non-stop during the con, and before every panel in order to keep the fan base pacified... I mean entertained. Fair warning, some of the fan favorite material is Adult Swim styled bumps. We have a LOT of those. - http://www.youtube.com/user/DragonConTV

Lastly, we have our own official YouTube channel, where interviews and panel highlights show up. - http://www.youtube.com/user/VideoDragonCon

So there you have it folks. DragonCon through video form. It is a show worth checking out. ComicCon is a trade show, with huge industry support. Everything at DragonCon is driven by and for the fans. But sometimes we get some industry help. Our Trek Track director is Garret Wang, who some of you may remember as Ensign Kim on Voyager. Dragon Con is a labor of love, and one of the best weekends a geek/nerd/hobbit/storm trooper/goth/anti-socialite/gamer/tribute/space marine/dragon could have.

Cosplayers scare me.

There's something slightly creepy about adults that feel the need to play dress-up.
