  1. in honor of Studio Gainax (creator of Evangelion, FLCL, many others) finally shuttering last month, these are the Daicon shorts they made for fan conventions in 1981 and 1983 as college students

    if you've never seen them, it's a pretty important piece of anime/nerd history as well as being a sign of nerd culture in the 1980s. yes, fan conventions would make music videos for fun, and use all kinds of copyrighted stuff without permission

    the first 90 seconds of the video from 1981 is rough; the second longer video from 1983, you can see why they went on to become professionals. and, of course, ELO!

  6. Si vous n'aviez jamais vu un #Transformers surfer sur un #hoverboard de #RetourVersLeFutur, il y a cette superbe vidéo amateure, hommage à la #DAICON (et sa légendaire intro avec la fille-lapine), qui en met plein la vue 🤩 #ArceeDreamsOfDaicon #Arcee

  7. la #daicon covention in #Giappone ha partorito tra il 1981 e l'83 due #cortometraggi che anticiperanno lo sitle dell'animazione giapponese degli anni a venire rappresentando un pietra miliare nell'evoluzione della regia soprattutto del genere fatascientifico (ma non solo). Un gruppo di amatori americani fa il verso (con qualche citazione dotta) alla Daicon con uno stile incredibile che quasi ci fa dimenticare il fatto che sia tutto in 3d! Altro che spiederverse...

  8. Also if you missed it, some people actually remastered the released video from the Laserdisc using the Domesday device (a system that allows to directly digitize the surface of any laserdisc).

    @kineko actually scanned the 8mm film release of Daicon III but they were asked by the right holders to suspend re-masterisation efforts, maybe because they're working on their own.

  9. Amazing stuff that I missed, a recording of the audience reaction to the first showing of the Daicon IV intro... during Daicon IV, in 1983!

    It's awesome because the audience reacts differently that today's people, since they get all the references. We can also see that the film was actually unfinished, some shots are missing (replaced with placeholders) and the end title animation is incomplete.

    They couldn't afford cells, so they bought one and took it to a vinyl manufacturer. This turned out to cause a lot of difficulty:
