this isn't the sky era...

[a boy ran up to link, clearly lost]

excuse me? who are you? and where am i?

-@younglinkoftermina

*Link jumps, looking at the young boy who came up to him.*

O-Oh, um. I'm Link, and we're near the Ancient Sheikah Tech Lab. A-Are you lost?

[heroofcalamity]

*You can feel something off about your surroundings. Shadows shift and move, darting from one to the next. It darts into your shadow, and then you can hear her -- a woman's voice, grumbling about 'where the hell is he?'

@impish-midna

*Link's eyes follow the shadow's movement until he hears a voice, causing him to jump a little. He looks around, trying to figure where the voice is coming from.*

H-Hello? Who's there?

[heroofcalamity]

Oh- hello, sir!

-@spiritsengineer

*Link looks at you, giving a small wave.*

H-Hello. Can I h-help you?

[heroofcalamity]

HIIII WOULD YOU LIKE A COOKIE

-@evil-tatl

A cookie?

*He tilts his head, looking at the strange little fairy. He didn't know they could talk.*

What t-type of cookie?

[heroofcalamity]

*He’s walking around quietly, focusing on where his feet fall to keep his mind from wandering. One of his hands is clearly Sheikah tech, mixed with something else. It’s glowing green. He’s hugging a large folded cloth in his arms, a symbol similar to the Royal family’s visible. He has a green hat on his head with a red bird stitched into the side, and a hair clip with feathers the color of the bright, mid-day sky. There’s a Sheikah bracelet on his forearm above the prosthetic hand. He hasn’t noticed you yet.

- @knight-in-training-sky

*Link watches as the stranger walks by, observing him. The Sheikah tech on his arm, cloth with something that looks like the royal family's symbol, it makes him alert. This person looks like a Link... Perhaps he's overthinking it?*

*He walks up to the person, ready to grab his sword if needed.*

E-Excuse me... Wh-where did you get th-that arm? I-It's made with Sh-Sheikah technology, b-but I've never s-seen anything like that b-before. Also, w-what are you c-carrying?

[heroofcalamity]

*stabs you*

*Link's eyes widen at the sudden pain to his side. Clutching his side, he looks around to see who had stabbed him. How did they even cut through his chainmail?*

*Seeing no one, he pulls his hand away and looks at the amount of blood. He needs an elixir and relatively quickly. He digs through his bag, looking for a hearty elixir.*

*His brows furrow as he can't seem to find one. He... also doesn't have any hearty lizards to make an elixir with. Did he forget to restock at Castle Town? Shit-*

*He takes a shaky, pained breath as he slowly makes his way over to a nearby tree. Leaning against it, he sits against the tree, wincing at the pain. He's grateful this happened away from Zelda, though now Impa has another thing to complain about.*

*He searches through his bag again, this time for bandages. He sighs with relief that he at least had those. He pulls them out and slowly begins to take off his weapon and armor. His ears twitch as he listens for anything that could potentially seek up on him.*

March's ConBravo! Spotlight is Photographer/Videographer LinkSpeaks!

Check out the full interview below and don't forget to apply by clicking here.

1.      How did you become interested in Videography?

I used to like watching music videos and how well the songs matched the editing. It grew from there to all types of video.

2.      What sort of stuff did you shoot when you were starting out?

I used to exclusively vlog (video-blog) on an older youtube channel. I realized the stuff I showed and talked about on camera was a bit boring so I moved onto vlogging at conventions. For the better part of the past year, I've stopped talking in my videos and purely shot the convention and cosplayers.

3.      What's your favourite type of shoot and why?

I like a cosplay that I can do a 360 spin of. I also enjoy filming cosplayer(s) that act out or pantomime a scene from the series they're from.

4.      Is there a dream shoot you'd like to do?

If I could film a full length music video with a convention as the backdrop it would be pretty much what I've always been striving for.

5.      Besides Photography/Videography, what else do you like to do in your spare time?

I started out going to conventions as a cosplayer, and I still do when I'm not filming. I also studied illustration in school so I tend to draw a lot as well.

6.      What shoots do you have planned for the future?

I don't really plan ahead anything specific, just what convention is next, and usually what song I want to use in the resulting video.

7.      Any tips for anyone who wants to get into videography?

Budget yourself. It's an expensive hobby, but I managed to get a good start by purchasing my equipment on sale and shopping around. Also, don't be afraid to go out and get the shot or video you really want. If you have a vision, make it happen. The cosplayer(s) will be appreciative if you make them look awesome!
