That is an understatement of some proportion. The intro video you produced was a sensation. It set the stage and tone for the most successful Atheist Convention on the planet. We are forever in your debt. Thanks (And that is another understatement!) :D

This just popped up on my YouTube Subscriptions :D

I have a question! Can I be given the contact details of the person/group who made this great intro vid? I'm wondering if something similar can be created for an intro vid to a conference I'm attending or if they can help out with ideas. Credit would be given, if it's able to be used.

Yes, the committee rejected my first one, after another in the same vein as it was rejected before that (both videos pretty full on negative rather than our final positive vid), I took stuff on board and others ideas, worked with others to come up with that vid. It was a group effort I just did the labour.
If you work together on ideas and concepts and not throw a tantrum over constructive criticism, you get something the majority enjoy :) can't stress that last bit enough :)

Sounds like you worked with someone involved with the GAC that threw tantrums ;)

I still reckon all the stuff I wanted to do was the best way to do it, however I believe in democratic decision making.

You gotta admit the one we all chose was brilliant. We wouldn't have got the same sort of vibe with ACDC. I can still remember everyone going wild when Melbourne came into view. Aaahh. You did excellent. :)

It's a computer business too, pc-playground.net. You would think they would know better.

nice of them to do that before we recover costs and do it ourselves.

Yeah, I reported a group the first time I saw them online as I was so upset. :/ I always check with venues/organisers about filming, just in case it's going to get in the way of the copyrights of the group doing the convention.
