San Diego Comic Con Back in 2001 - by Mark Schulze

A view of the convention floor at San Diego Convention Center from above. At the time we were amazed at the crowds, but this appears empty compared to today's standards. The show has been sold out for weeks. There will be many people trying to sneak in and there will be many disappointed people who cannot get in.

Vintage Batmobile at San Diego Comic Con - by Mark Schulze

In 2001, the Batmobile was on display at the San Diego Comic Con. Kids and Dads really seemed to get a kick out of it.

That year we were shooting for Electronic Playground, Canada's biggest TV show related to videogames and technology. Producer, Victor Lucas and his pal, Tommy Tallarico, couldn't be happier to get a "ride" in the Batmobile.

Here I am wearing my Easyrig II which really takes the pressure off your shoulders and back. It's turned out to be one of the best video equipment investments I ever made; I still use it, it still performs beautifully, and I recommend it to any camera operator.

I shot interviews and B-Roll all that weekend for Electronic Playground and we cruised around the convention floor like there was no tomorrow, but by far the Batmobile is the thing that yanked the cranks of Victor and Tommy.

San Diego Comic Con Is Getting Closer - by Mark Schulze

You run into a lot of wild costumed characters at the San Diego Comic Con. These photographs were shot by Patty Mooney, our esteemed Audio Technician and Producer. We are all gearing up for this year's Comic Con, we have our passes, and we are ready to roll. By the way, for anybody who was not early enough to grab the worm, this show has been sold out for a few weeks now. Amazing, isn't it?

Kim Kardashian and Carmen Elektra at San Diego Comic Con 2008 - by Mark Schulze

One highlight for Patty Mooney (my wife and partner who plays Sound Technician and/or Producer on our video shoots) was an interview with Kim Kardashian and Carmen Elektra. Kim and I learned that we have one thing in common; she's Armenian and I am half Armenian. They spoke about their movie, "Scary Movie 4."
