Well I too am back from Worldcon and just wanted to write one more
asdditional brief blurb on the film presentation, which happened Sunday
morning after I sent my last note. Despite some initial technical
concerns having to do with the format of the film (which, frankly, I
didn't understand) things went off without a hitch Sunday morning. The
print was clear and bright - you could see the dust flecks on some cels
and the extra layer of detail in some of the images in Yang and
Reinhard. The sound system was little off, giving too much echo in the
room IMHO but this was a minor nit.
The only problem was perhaps with the timing of the presentation.
Sunday at 11am is never a great time to get good attendance for things
at a con. Nevertheless I'd say we had over 60 people in the theater,
and many applauded at the end. At least one person, a friend of a
friend who had never seen LoGH before, turned around and cursed us that
now she would have to go out and get all the fansubbed episodes! Which
was the point of the exercise! ^_^
As our fellow list corresponent "rein" was in costume, several friends
and I offered a hearty "Sieg Kaiser!" when she entered the room.
Always nice to be able to do that. :)
