NEW Enhanced Edition - VANCON 2009 - J2 Main Panel
Direct link to video. Link to YouTube channel. (12 videos available.)
I have another new video up. Almost all the original footage came from the video AgtSpooky sent me, including the audio. I don't think her video was on YouTube before and it has much better coverage than the other videos on YouTube. Thanks to her angle, she consistently has Jared and Jensen in the same frame, whereas the other videos often don't. The energy always feels off to me when I can't see both of them reacting to what each other says, so her video made me super happy.
I also used a few bits and pieces from another video, adding up to about a minute and a half, as credited in my video description.
They ran out of time for a solo Jared panel at this convention, so this is my last VANCON 2009 video. I've started working on CHICON 2009. That was the next convention they attended, 2.5 months later.
Before/after comparison photo...
Click and/or zoom in if you can. The difference in detail is more noticeable at larger sizes. I think this video had my clearest, sharpest upscale results yet and it should be really noticeable for those of you who are able to watch on a larger screen.
Sadly, my next video will look a million times worse because it took place in the Dreaded Chicago Breakfast Room which seems to wreak havoc on all video cameras. After weeks of staring at the beauty of this video, the next one is making me want to claw my eyes out! The main panel will be better though.
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 good color-coded subtitles so you can better understand the sometimes-chaotic audio.
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]. Even if your videos are on YouTube, the original files, if you still have them, may upscale much better. If I can get them to upscale, I'd happily send the upscaled files back to you for your own collection whether I use them or not.
