5th Philippine Toy Con prod. note 2


Here' i am still stucked in the web development and design for the 5th Toy con website, and Im having a hard time redesigning the whole website, coz it will take more time to recover my old files in old web host, but Im glad that ideas are coming up so fast that leaves me mindless staring into a thin air.

So far we are in the hot tub for our marketing gimiks and courtship to sponsors, we have already talk to some and got some good deals with upcoming sponsors,. The event will be big as we expected every year, and for now we are preparing for the layout and positions of booths and stage for the event. But we had decided that the old format of the booths and stage will be the same as last year, so that people wont get puzzled when ever they got there at the event for the nth time,.

Last week was our last meeting and got our own reports for the event, it seems that we will be inviting lots of online games for Toy con, but the big problem is that we are avoiding or trying to prevent in having a product lock out, if they are co-presentors for our event, product lock out might occur and we might allow that, it depends on the aggrement, but the vision for this coming event is that we will try to ban product lock out, coz the event is for everyone and its a showcase of collectibles and hobbies, declaring a product lock out in an event means that you are aiming at one item only, so here in our event, we want people to view and decide what to entertain, choosing your hobby and collections in an event is fun, so hopefully we can fix this thing soon.

Right now, Im still stucked in preparing for the rules and mechanics of our contest. It seems that there are lot of interested people who like to join the Fan Film contest, and Battle of the Tribute Band. I already saw one entry during our meeting, when one friend came over and inquired some about Fan Film contest. Then he showed me his possible entry, upon seeing that, I began to make a study for the formulation of the mechanics.

Fan Films or either short films that is anime, comic, game, movie sci fi fantasy inspired are allowed to join.

well, thats the conclusion to my side.

in the other hand like Cosplay, my main guy in cosplay organizing is making now new ground rules for the contest. Im only concerned for the new comers coz some of them didnt understand we woudn't require to bring pictures or print out of their cosplayed characters, simple answer : we know the character, we are familiar to the character and we dont want the individual contest participants to shell out money in producing an evidence that the character exist, all we want is the name of the character, title of which it appeared, and yourself in costume.
plus..attitude and transformation of your self into that character.

Pinoy character cosplay will be one of the highlight for the event, I know that this wasn;t given enough attention during past event, so here we are focusing and featuring our very own characters. We want to see how creative and interested Pinoys to their character that came from their roots.

also for those who will come out as original characters, like cosplaying that didnt appeared in the mainstream scene, still original and its your character idea, or came from an indie material, still you are allowed to participate only under the Pinoy character cosplay.

still lots of ideas and contest to study..hahahaha
the customized action figure contest.is one hot topic
also..i'm thinking of a contest on customizing a LIFE SIZE ACTION FIGURE.

geez..whiz!!!... i might include this contest..next year...
hehehehehe..
