ECCC Project

[captain_slinky]

Considering a Viral Video thing for this year's Emerald City Comic Con. I want to take a video camera and ask girls who are wearing costumes some trivia questions about the character that they are dressed up as, give them prizes based on how well they know who they're supposed to be.

My guess is that the sluttier the costume, the funnier the fail; especially when contrasted with the girls who are in meticulously researched and accurate costumes :)

I'll need sponsors, and I'll need experts who can provide questions on a myriad of potential characters from sci-fi, fantasy and comic books...

I love this idea! (Which is good because I'm a possible candidate for being questioned, lol. I'm working on a Catwoman costume and a Katniss costume for ECCC12. :D I'm possibly thinking of bringing my Pepper Potts costume out of retirement, too.) ♥

Sounds like fun!

Count me in!!!

I'd be glad to help however I can. I can look up info on the characters via smartphone and help form trivia questions. So, stuff we need:

Video Camera
Experts in various areas
Standard starter question sets, like:
- Why did you pick this character?
- Which version of this character is your favorite?
- Tell us about this character's origin story/background.
- Which issue/episode was your favorite?
- Why?
- Which artist do you think draws this character best? (or which actor plays it best)
- Which writers write best for this character? Worst?
Smartphone for on-the-fly research
Decent Microphone
A cover story/team name in case someone asks what we're doing
A silly name for our mission/operation
Camera operator
Interviewer (you)
Video editor

You could also do interviews just outside Sakuracon too, I bet. They're pretty close to each other in time and if we don't get enough good material from ECCC, you could set up outside Sakuracon and get more there. And don't forget kids. Interview a few kids, especially the ones dressed up as the same characters. Imagine a 6-year-old Batgirl knowing the answer to more questions than the 18-year-old sluttily-clad Batgirl. XD

Don't be a dick; interview all costumed characters.

Why are women so special in this survey?
