My latest video is up. It's the J2 breakfast from VANCON 2011. Nearly 100% of the video is from AgtSpooky, and 65% of the audio. There was a tiny 3-second blip where the video cut out, and there were no alternate video sources that I could find to cover it. However, SPNJAVideos from YouTube very graciously sent me an audio recording they'd made at the con and I was able to edit that in. I was ecstatic that at least we can have uninterrupted audio!

My next video will be the main J2 panel. It's an hour long, so it could take me up to six weeks to finish it at my typical pace. I'll publish it sooner if I can. That's my last panel for which I have videos from the amazing AgtSpooky. After that, I'll circle around to some of the earlier and more challenging conventions that I'd skipped and try to bring order to that chaos.

A recap for anyone not familiar with this project…

In December 2023, I started a project to enhance old convention videos. The project is mostly focused on Jared and Jensen, but there will occasionally be videos with other actors. I'm upscaling the videos and making other visual improvements, adding extra content to clarify various references, and adding human-generated, color-coded subtitles so you can better understand the sometimes-chaotic audio. The subtitles can be auto-translated to other languages via YouTube.

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.

My latest video went up this past Friday! It's the main J2 panel from VACON 2011. About 94% of the video and 48% of the audio came from AgtSpooky. Most of the remaining audio came from SPNJAVideos.

There are about 76 seconds' worth of content here that I think most people will not have seen. I don't believe it was in any video found on YouTube. The main video I used had a few short gaps and there were very few other videos of this panel out there. However, SPNJAVideos stealthily hung a phone around her neck to record the stage from the front row and captured that missing footage. (She also managed to record several clips from the first half of the panel with her camera, which is where half of the audio I used came from.)

Phones from 2011 of course took very low-quality videos, so the phone video wasn't on YouTube, but SPNJAVideos generously offered it to me for this project and it's thanks to that video that I was able to fill in all the missing pieces. The missing footage isn't anything earth shattering, but now we can finally hear the entire "strange food quirks" answer from beginning to end. It also filled in a small bit of missing footage as they were getting ready to end the panel. This is all within the last 10 minutes of the video.

This panel was the last video I had from the amazing AgtSpooky. I'm now circling back to some of the earlier conventions that I'd skipped. Currently, I'm working on Comic-Con 2007. Jared had to miss that one, but Jensen was there along with Eric Kripke, Sera Gamble, and Ben Edlund. The video will be about 40 minutes long, so it will probably take me 4 weeks to complete.

Although I've skipped (again) two earlier conventions, I do plan to do something with them eventually, probably sooner rather than later. That's Grand Slam with Jared in 2006 and the first Asylum with Jensen in 2007. They have much less footage available and I need to spend more time digging into them and deciding how best to handle them.

My latest video is up. This is Misha's solo panel from VANCON 2011. 93% of the video and 92% of the audio came from AgtSpooky. The rest of my credits are in the video description.

Fair warning, this panel is very bawdy, especially in the first half. It eases up a little, but not entirely, in the second half.

My next video will be the J2 breakfast. The main J2 panel will be after that. Those will be my last videos from the amazing AgtSpooky. After that, I'll circle back to some of the earlier and more challenging conventions that I had skipped and try to bring order to that chaos.
