    • Behind-The-Scenes of Video Production at Dragon Con and MomoCon with Dimitri Tarassenko
      Dec 1 2023
      Prepare to step into the world of Dragon Con and MomoCon, two multi-genre pop culture conventions that have on massive volunteer teams. I have the pleasure of talking with Dimitri Tarassenko, a software engineer who donates his time and skills to support the media production at these massive events. Dimitri's behind-the-scenes insights will take you on a journey through the intricate operations that make these conventions a reality.

      From operating cameras and audio boards to managing production switchers, Dimitri paints a vivid picture of live broadcasting at a grand scale. He'll unveil the technical wizardry needed to stream the conventions' multiple live events, including panels, parades, and concerts. Hear about the use of drones during the parade and the ensuing controversy, the simultaneous broadcasts during the conference, and the rich library of content generated for streaming. Oh, and don't forget about DragonCon.tv that is broadcast to the rooms of hotels as well as online.

      My chat with Dimitri doesn't end there. He meticulously compares the unique dynamics of Dragon Con and MomoCon, highlighting the need for different workflows, and the various shows run by Dragon Con's news division. Discover experiences unique to these conventions, like the Barbieheimer and robot battles! As we wrap up, we celebrate the significant contributions of our listeners in supporting these conventions and our show. Today's episode is more than just a peek behind the scenes of Dragon Con and MomoCon, it's an exploration of the fascinating intersection of technology, television production, volunteerism, and pop culture!
