Remember the Fallen #corona2020 #lockdown2020

Remember the fallen #corona2020This virus is teaching us very important lessons.. the same lessons dystopian scifi movies & disaster/zombie-movies have tought us.. Survivalists were right: instinct quickly takes over once society's foundations are lightly shaking, freedom & privacy are swiped off the table in the name of safety and the authoritarian states are doing better than democracies.. and spreading their wings on waves of propaganda.
(Check this VRT NWS article)

Let us remember the fallen and see what the future brings.

Event Report Probleem

Bericht aan iedereen & vooral aan de organisatoren met wie was afgesproken dat er een fotoreportage op hun evenement zou worden gemaakt. De volgende 6 weken zullen er beduidend minder reportages gemaakt kunnen worden omdat onze fotograaf van de tenen tot aan de knie met zijn rechterbeen in het gips zit. Hij zal dus niet overal kunnen geraken. Onze excuses hiervoor. Sh*t happens.

Event - Geek Village Genk (2024)

Afbeelding
A heads-up: on November 17th 2024 we'll be hosting a videobooth on Geek Village ( Thor Central, Genk ) in room 12 ( named Trovao ). It will be the 1st time we put the 360° videobooth on a fair.. so it's somewhere between in between scary & exciting. Since it's the 1st time and we have a full room at our disposal, we might set up a small photobooth aswel as a free bonus for our clients. Come visit us! Meanwhile you can look at some videos from #theRed360 on Instagram ( a few ) and on Tiktok ( loads! ) Have some links while you wait for everything to be edited: ▷ All photos can always be found on/downloaded from my Flickr and here ! ▷ A " How to download stills from Flickr " tutorial was posted here . ▷ Some highlights might go to Instagram or even Threads . ▷ The video will go to Clapper & to Tiktok ▷ Buy Red Cathedral a whisky on Ko-Fi ▷ Updates are on THE Facebook . ▷ Give a follow to this young creative foundation: Deep Red Noise vzw/asbl ...

Collab - D'Ursel cosplay day (2024)

Afbeelding
Eventhough many September days in 2024 feel more like November days, on Sunday the 15th it was good to be outside. Outside in the park of castle d'Ursel in Hingene the infamous Geert had gathered yet again a mass of cosplayers & photogs and as always I had hidden my set, this time behind an old wall. No line of sight onto the castle, but perfect for " Cosplayers with natural light " & some " Extreme shoot through ". Why not use the castle as a backdrop, you might ask?  It's a pretty castle, yes. It has one really interesting side, alas it was too crowded to build a set & get a constant, uninterupted view. On a quiet day I'll gladly combine the front of the castle with an epoque gown.. but that Sunday was NOT a quiet day. First a few useful links : ▷ All photos can always be found on/downloaded from my Flickr and here! ▷ A " How to download stills from Flickr " tutorial was posted here . ▷ Some highlights might go to I...

Event - Uchronicité 2022

Afbeelding
Do you have 5€ left in your pocket? That's enough to pay the entry fee for this annual gathering of Belgian steampunks. Or is it steampunkers? Or vaporistes? Meh.. Choose whatever you fancy. There are two kind of genre events in the Benelux: The big ones. Nearly all of them are owned by large corporations ( multinationals even ), held in big venues and these have become éxtremely expensive for both visitors and vendors. For the current entry prices you expect to be WOW-ed and entertained at a high level. High expectations are always difficult to meet. And there are a few tiny events trying to stay afloat. Just like for the big events the prices to get something organised have gone through the roof. But they mostly work with volonteers instead of a corporate overhead workforce consisting of more high payed managers than workers and they don't need to bring home truckloads of cash to please the shareholders & investors. This way they manage to maintain fair entry pric...

Event - Comic Con Antwerp 2022

Afbeelding
Some links first and then a few words of wisdom? There will be several sample images in this post as the processing advances. Once finished ALL the pictures can be found here on Flickr . For updates of the progress & next events you can check the Facebook page . Some videoreels will follow on Clapper and Instagram .  Clapper video 1 - The pink lifestyle Clapper video 2 - Live by the Creed . Some thoughts on the event? First of all we only spent a few hours of Saturday afternoon on the fair. It's Maanrock and the combination of a crazy CFX-concert and the Versuz-stage on Friday made SaturDAY a bit shorter than expected. But this fair also coincided with the gigantic Gamescom & the always highly anticipated Viencon. Cosplayers had so much to chose from. Secondly I had said almost 10 years ago that I was tired of indoor anime mega-shopping-cons and had thus stopped visiting the likes of FACTS, MiA,.. until evil friends managed to convince me otherwise.  . So the...
