Hey everyone! Jess here! We’ve got some site changes coming up, so if something doesn’t work or seems lost, fear not! Just stay tuned!

We are a professional costume focused photobooth that travels around the country doing Anime, Sci-fi, Steampunk and Comic conventions.   Our new tagline is “It’s more than just a photo.  It’s an experience!” and thats what we try our hardest to achieve.   We spend time helping with poses and tailored lighting to do really cool shots that  show off your awesome costume!

You can stop by our photo booth and get as many photos done as you would like (time and line allowing) for FREE!   We try VERY hard not to assembly line people and want you to know that you can cycle through the line as MANY times as you want! Then just stop back by later and check them out on the computer screen.  If there are any you like you can purchase many different print sizes on the spot from a high-end professional photo printer.  Our prices are competitive and very reasonable!  Your purchases help keep us going to conventions so thanks in advance! We publish almost ALL of the photos we do for free on the site in 50% resolution with our watermark after the event.

Most of our fan interaction is done on our facebook page.   Facebook always gets the photos published first (typically 1-3 days after the event).   About a week after the event we publish all the photos here on the site in our photo gallery so you can download them.

Be sure to like us on facebook and become a part of our fan community!  All our latest news and cool stuff is posted there.

Thats it!  Pretty simple right?   We have tons of cool stuff in the works and hope to see you at a convention soon!

If you have any questions feel free to click contact and send us an email!

When you are getting your photo taken at the booth you can ask the photographer what your series # is.   If you have purchased prints at a convention your #’s will be on the receipt card included with your prints.   You can take this number and look for it both on facebook and in the photo gallery here to find your photos quickly.

Check them out in the photos section here!

We are trying to get everything back on track and get back on our normal wed update schedule.  Im working on uploading our backlog of photos to the gallery,  getting something like 40+ videos done and working on our convention schedule for the rest of the year.

The girls are working on the Acen, Marcon and OMGcon reviews for the site in the next few days.

We are going full-time starting this weekend so we hope to get faster at getting everything out for you.  Please support us by donating or purchasing a print at our convention photobooths!

Working on a paypal checkout system that will allow you to mail-order ANY photo in the gallery.  Ill keep you updated on that as we get it going.

A huge thanks to all our fans and we hope that we can provide even more for you over the next year!

See you soon!

Here is the link to the photos section.

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by the site. We are working on over 28 hours of video from ACEN and processing the photos today (monday). I hope to start getting them uploaded to our facebook fansite for tagging and will get them up in higher resolution here later on tonight or tomorrow. We have over 1000 photos to go through.

We also have the following videos we are hoping to get done by the end of the week:

Megatokyo press interview + panel
ACEN Soap bubble
First 5-6 Masq skits

I will be checking with my hosting company to see if we can provide a few of the videos for download so you can watch them in full HD on your computer.

Check back soon! In the meantime please like us on facebook and upload some of your own pictures!

I will not have a chance to update the site before we head out to ACen so just a few quick notes:

Check out our facebook fan page which will have updates as to whats going on and where we will be at at ACen!

We will be attempting to broadcast the masquerade LIVE at ACen. You can click our LIVE! button on the bar above to see the viewer. If everything goes well you can watch it live or anytime afterword immediately via the on-demand section. I wanted to use 2 HD cameras for this but we are running out of budget for Acen and will have to settle for 1 HD cam for live. We will still be doing 3 HD camera footage for youtube though and will get those out as soon as possible after ACen.

Hope to see you there!

Another quick update! 5/7/10

We are starting to add our videos to facebook so you can tag yourself if you are in it. No more “It’s me at 3:14″! Get on over to our facebook fanpage!

Update 5/10/10

Megatokyo confirmed that we can film their panel!!!  YEY!  I am a HUGE Megatokyo fan.  ^_^     We tested our live broadcasting gear over the weekend and our feedback was good.  Ordered a CLEAR WiMAX card this morning as a 3rd option if our att or sprint 3g cards dont work at the Hyatt.  Im working on all the animations and stuff we will be using for Acen and im still hoping to get to the Hyatt today (monday) or tomorrow (tues) to do some filming for a “Get ready!” video.  We will see how things go.

Convention News:

Well,  it looks like Anime Boston is not getting back to us on press badges.   It sucks that we missed the press deadline by only a few days.  We will have to put that one off until next year.    While it might have been really cool to just wander the hallways and do cosplay photos we decided against it.  Brandi has been there before and without a press badge it would be really difficult to get into events and we would not be able to film the masq.

That means that our next convention is ANIME CENTRAL!  This is our home convention and we are super excited!   If you are interested in setting up a photo shoot with us send in an email right away!  We are only doing about 2 per day so we can focus on the events, panels and hallway cosplay.

Webcomic: 8-bit Theatre This an awesome Final Fantasy sprite comic.

Time Waster: Alice is dead. This is a flash adventure game.

Website: GIANT Microbes! I don’t know about you but I am ordering Ebola.  SO KEWT! >.<

Anime: Soul Eater We have been seeing ALOT of Soul Eater cosplay and finally had a chance to check out the series.  Its pretty good!

Convention Videos:

Things have been really crazy in real life over the past 2 weeks.  This has put us a bit behind on videos but here is what we are working on:

Anime Milwaukee!

A&G Ohio Cosplay Wrestling

Ohayocon Cosplay Review

Brandi will be helping out with videos starting as soon as I can get her the equipment.   That should help us out a TON for getting out more videos.

DS Lite Contest:

Things are going really well with the DS Lite contest!  We are about 160 emails right now and still looking for #250 to win the DS Lite!   All thats required is that you send us a brief email with some feedback.   We have got a ton of good stuff so far and already put some of it into play!

1).  Change the gallery so its ordered newest first

2).  Do more multi-camera stuff!  (People would rather wait a bit for really good stuff).

3).  More hallway cosplay!   We are going to be shrinking our photoshoots at conventions to only 2 a day so we can do more hallway cosplay photos.

4). Panel filming!  We will be posting the schedule for the convention and allowing you to vote on 2 panels / events per day that we will then film and publish (as long as its ok with the panelist!).

5). Win free badges to conventions!   We have not figured out how we will be doing this but in the future we will be doing contests for free weekend badges to conventions.

6).  Start a COSPLAY wiki.   This would be community maintained and will contain measurements, materials and all the information we can get to help cosplayers with costumes.  This will be a HUGE undertaking but expect updates on it soon.  This will be the ONLY wiki devoted to cosplayers and the creation of costumes.

You have a chance to provide direct input on what you see here!  Dont waste it and send us an email!  You might even win the DS…  :)

Remember to check out our Facebook Fan Page (All the really cool stuff is happening here!) and follow us on Twitter. We are posting all our photos on facebook for you and your friends to tag. I will be adding older convention photos as I have time.
