Flip Books at Comic Con on the News!

This last week we were hired by Nickelodeon to produce Flip Books at their booth in Comic Con - a huge convention about comic books and "all things pop culture". A reporter for a San Diego news station came by and checked us out on preview night. Her report the following morning featured the Nickelodeon booth and she said that we were her favorite thing at the entire show! The planner for the booth was beside herself with excitement!

Starting that morning people came directly to the Nick booth because word spread that it was the best booth in the show. They waited in line for up to an hour to make their own Flip Book! The original plan was for us to produce Flip Books a few hours a day but it was so popular that they extended our hours to almost twice the amount of time. It's nice to be appreciated, but our feet were not so happy.

I put together a little video with the news clip and our favorite video clips of the guests making their Flip Books. It's funny to see adults acting silly and having so much fun - really worth a good chuckle!

Setup Day at Comic Con

Today was setup for the Nickelodeon booth at Comic  Con - what an ordeal! We moved our equipment in "guerrilla style" by dragging in thru the front doors rather than pay a $100 per box fee. Oy! After setting up we got to work training staff and making some Flip Books for the preview night with media from around the world.

I made a little video of the first day. And for any fellow geeks, the special thing about this video is that it was shot and edited entirely on my oh-so-cool iPhone 4! We do love our toys!
