Victory at Gen Con 2011

This past weekend, gamers of all stripes gathered in Indianapolis, Indiana for GenCon, the largest convention of its kind in North America. So what was the crew of MIND’S EYE doing there? Why picking up some hardware, of course.

The final four episodes of MIND’S EYE’s initial season were screened as part of the con’s film festival, along with several other submitted webseries, short films and features. At an awards ceremony on Sunday, the winners for each category were announced and MIND’S EYE came out the winner for Best Series. The prizes, as awarded by Troma Entertainment co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, included a trophy, a free exhibit booth at next year’s GenCon and a copy of Kaufman’s DVD Box Set Make Your Own Damn Movie!: Secrets of a Renegade Director.

But it wasn’t all awards at the show. The MIND’S EYE crew was working hard at the booth creating Instant FX, a unique service where fans could get a picture or video of themselves with a visual effect of their request. As well, MIND’S EYE producer/creator Thomas M. Gofton participated in a number of panels and the DREAMWEAVER role playing was play-tested once again for the attending gamers.

All-in-all, it was a solid weekend of fun and accomplishment for the MIND’S EYE team. Coming up next: a stop this weekend in “The Windy City” – Chicago – for the local Wizard World con. Then, we’ll be returning home for the National Fan Expo in Toronto at the end of the month. Keep your eyes peeled; MIND’S EYE may be coming soon to somewhere near you.

Mind’s Eye Coming to Anime North

In an already busy season of conventions and festivals, the cast and crew of MIND’S EYE have added another stop to the tour, this one closer to our own backyard. Synn Studios and Lynnvander Productions are proud to announce that they are teaming up with Polaris to bring MIND’S EYE to ANIME NORTH, Canada’s premiere fan-run anime convention.

Unfolding the weekend after Victoria Day (or on the Memorial Day long weekend for our American friends), May 27th to 29th, Anime North takes place at two locations: the Toronto Congress Centre and at the Doubletree International Plaza Hotel, near Pearson Airport. The con attracted nearly 17,000 visitors last year thanks to its combination of special guests and programs like the Skit Contest and Anime North Idol.

So what’s MIND’S EYE bringing? How about the first public test of the MIND’S EYE video game? Team 7 Productions is putting the finishing touches on the beta version of the game, where players will be able to try on their favourite Dreamweaver from the series and fight the evil Shadow’s Hand minions, The Dolgrath’s Girl Friday Maya, and the Big Red Bad himself. Fans of the original FINAL FANTASY for NES will definitely want to check this out.

As well, the team will continue play testing the MIND’S EYE-related role-playing game, “Dreamweaver.” Our last public test was at Wizard World Toronto, so put on your gaming hat, grab your 12-sided dice and get into the worlds of MIND’S EYE and put your imagination to the test.

Coming up next in the MIND’S EYE world tour, a stopover in St. John’s NFLD (and a homecoming for MIND’S EYE writer Tom Brown) at Sci-Fi on the Rock starting this Friday, April 15th.
