NEW Enhanced Edition - CHICON 2010 - J2M Main Panel

Direct link to video. Link to YouTube channel. (18 videos available.)

My latest video is up! This is a rare J2M panel. 90% of the video came from the files sent to me by the amazing AgtSpooky. 87% of the audio came from videos on YouTube that @hils79 graciously granted me permission to use. Their audio was quite clear compared to the others and it made the subtitling process less difficult than I expected it to be with all three of them on stage. The rest of my source credits are on the video description.

What's Next?

That's my last CHICON 2010 video. I've started working on VANCON 2011, which is the very last convention that I have videos from AgtSpooky on. After that, I'll circle back to some of the older and more challenging conventions that I had skipped and I'll try to bring order to the chaos. 😅

There will be three VANCON 2011 videos -- the solo Misha panel, the J2 breakfast, and the J2 main panel. They'll be published in that order. That will probably be my last solo Misha panel for the foreseeable future. The focus of this project has always been Jared and Jensen, but I decided to do the two Misha panels for which I had good videos from AgtSpooky. He will of course still be included whenever he's in panels with Jared and/or Jensen at conventions I work on.

I've taken advantage of some days off work to throw a lot of extra time at this project. At my normal pace, it probably would have been 8 weeks before I had another J2 video out. I've already spent the past 3 months working through a convention without any "traditional" J2 panels and I miss them! So I've made a lot of progress on Misha's video already and I hope to have it out in a couple weeks. (It's a 54-minute video.) After that, it will probably take my usual 3 weeks to get the 30-minute J2 Breakfast out.

A recap for anyone not familiar with this project…

In December 2023, I started this project to enhance old convention videos. I'm upscaling the videos and making other visual improvements, adding extra content to clarify various references, and adding human-generated, color-coded subtitles so you can better understand the sometimes-chaotic audio. The subtitles can be auto-translated to other languages via YouTube.

My goal is to publish the best, most complete, and most watchable versions of these older convention panels yet seen, but this is only possible thanks to the fans who captured the footage in the first place and were generous enough to share it with other fans. My video descriptions on YouTube will always credit my sources.

If you have any old convention videos you'd be willing to contribute to this project, please message me! I can also be reached at [email protected]. If I can get them to upscale (I can't always), I'd happily send the upscaled files back to you for your own collection whether I use them or not.

These gifs you shared don't change the fact that he insulted him

Ok, answering one last time, only because I've finally found the source for that:

That's called humor. It's meant to be funny. The same applies to Jensen, whoever he was talking about.

Repeat after me: "From now on, I will spread love and joy."

NEW Enhanced Edition - CHICON 2010 - Mishalecki Main Panel

Direct link to video. Link to YouTube channel. (17 videos available.)

My latest video is up! This is another rare U.S. Jared and Misha panel. Jensen shows up in the last couple of minutes to crash their panel and then joins them for an unscheduled J2M panel. That's the next video I'm working on.

Their panel is chock full of silly questions, and Jared and Misha fully got into the silly spirit of things. 🤣 I'd recommend turning on the subtitles for this one even if you don't normally. The audio isn't super clear and it's difficult to catch everything when they're both talking rapidly at the same time.

About 91% of the video and nearly all of the audio came from the video AgtSpooky kindly sent me. All sources are credited in my video description.

NEW Enhanced Edition - CHICON 2010 - Mishalecki Breakfast Panel

Direct link to video. Link to YouTube channel. (15 videos available.)

My latest video is up! This is a rare U.S. Jared and Misha panel. They have a fun dynamic with Jared's playful humor and Misha's dry sarcasm. If you haven't seen my posts before and want more details about what I'm doing, see the bottom of the post.

92% of the footage came from the video AgtSpooky sent me. It was already on YouTube, but not properly credited to her. Most of the audio came from a different source, and I used a few other sources to fill in small sections of both video and audio. All sources are credited in my video description.

Video Quality Notes

As usual, the breakfast video quality is lower than the main panels. AgtSpooky's video came out the best and clearest overall, but the quality does fluctuate. She also had a more sideways angle, so we don't always have a clear view of their faces depending on which direction they're facing. The other videos with a more direct view were usually quite blurry, so I mostly stuck with AgtSpooky's because I thought her clearer profile view offered better visibility than a blurry direct view. There were a couple short clips with good quality and a direct view, and I cut to those when I could.

The main panels have much better quality and a more direct view, so my next set of videos will look better.

Subtitles

Many of you know that I subtitle Jared and Jensen in red and blue because those were their mark tape colors on the set of Supernatural. When I tried to find Misha's mark tape color, I found this post which has photos indicating it was probably yellow.

I've used yellow to represent the fans at the mic during the main panels since I started this project. At the time, I hadn't thought ahead to the likelihood that I'd eventually subtitle Misha too. Since my YouTube statistics show that nearly half my viewers watch with the subtitles turned on, I don't want to cause confusion by switching up my colors after all this time.

I did want to give Misha's color some symbolism that fans would likely recognize though, so I subtitled him with orange in honor of his apparent penchant for wearing orange underwear.

This video was more difficult to subtitle than most I've worked on so far, so you may see more than the usual dreaded [inaudible].

What's Next

I've started working on the main panel from this same convention. It starts off as a solo Misha panel, then it becomes another Mishalecki panel, then it becomes a J2M panel. I plan to split them up into 3 videos, the same way I treated the Jared/Jensen/J2 panels that ran one-after-the-other at other conventions. This will keep them a more manageable length so that it won't take me an eternity to publish a new one, and it allows people to more easily watch just the video(s) with the actor(s) they're interested in.

Although my project is more focused on Jared and Jensen, I do plan to do the solo Misha panel. I had promised a while back that I'd probably do Misha's solo panels if I happened to have any good-quality, mostly-complete videos of his panel that I could use at the time I was working on other videos from the same convention. That probably won't happen often, but in this case I have a video like that from AgtSpooky.

NEW Enhanced Edition - CHICON 2010 - Solo Misha Panel

Direct link to video. Link to YouTube channel. (16 videos available.)

My latest video is up! The vast majority of this footage came from the video AgtSpooky kindly sent me. 85% of the video and 96% of the audio is from her recording. The rest of my sources are credited in my video description.

I probably won't be doing that many of the solo Misha panels, so I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking I'll be a consistent source for these. However, I've said I'd do them if I have a good-quality and mostly-complete video of his panel at the same time I'm already working on other panels from the same convention, and that was the case here.

Jared also shows up near the end to crash Misha's panel. That leads into another Mishalecki panel which will be my next video. Their exchange right at the end of this video made me laugh. I cut this video off once Jared started settling in for their combined panel, and the next video will pick up at the very next frame.

I was really tired so I decided to be lazy and just sit and watch some old conventions (in this case, Chicon 2010). Half an hour later I’m crying from laughter and thinking “damn, that was not a good choice, I don’t have energy for this”. 

:P

@perfmishka  Misha and slips of tongue and puns. All this in just 2 minutes:

“... beating Jens-”  (*cough* beating him off *cough*)

“... your knuckles are sore...” (why, oh why)

“... let’s get off...” (sure, not that way ^.^ )

What the hell have him and Jensen been up to before this panel? :’D
