Hi everybody...
My name is Austin Bragg, and I'm a Vintage player in Washington D.C. currently working in television. I'm much better at my job than I am at playing Magic, so I'm creating a documentary on Vintage.
I'd like to follow the players and personalities involved over the course of several large tournaments. Right now we're coming to the P9 series in Rochester as a kind of "proof of concept." If things work out well, we can continue on to Charlotte or GenCon. If things don't work out, we'll at least have some interesting footage for the TMD community to enjoy.
The point is that on Saturday there will be two guys with a video camera running around the tournament. We have already contacted a small handfull of players to follow, but we'll be on the lookout for interesting stories as the day progresses. Between rounds, we might ask you to tell us on camera how your match went. We might ask you for a quick interview. We might ask you to show us your altered art, hold up your power, or roll a die in front of the lens.
It also means that we'll have release forms for folks to sign. (Yay for our litigious society!) Essentially they say "Yes, you can film me and make a documentary." If you DON'T want to be on camera, that's no problem. We'll just take a quick Polaroid of you (which seems odd, but it makes recognizing who not to include when editing much easier) and that's that.
Even with a release, I'll only cover matches when both players are comfortable with the camera nearby. If, in the middle of a round the camera is getting on your nerves, just say the word and we'll be gone. We will do all we can to not be a distraction.
I'm excited about the project, and really looking forward to this weekend. If anyone has questions, thoughts, concerns, etc. - fire away and I'll be happy to answer.
-Austin

Great idea. I'd love to see footage of T1 tournaments, it'd be very interesting.

This sounds like an awesome idea.
If I can help I would love for you to do this at Waterbury at the end of July.
Touch base with me at SCG Rochester to talk about it. Just as around for Ray Robillard or iamfishman.
Thanks.

RIP Mogg Fanatic...at least you are still better than Fire Bowman!!!
I was once asked on MWS, what the highest I ever finished at a TMD Open was. I replied, "I've never played in a Waterbury. I was then called "A TOTAL NOOB!"

this sounds like a great idea, gencon would be a great place to get some shots of really beautiful decks. the whole non-proxy thing makes for some great video.

If you get me on video, you will need to do a lot of bleeping.

Why does JDizzle have to be Japan during this? He's got the most pimptastic decks I've ever seen. Decks that foily and beta'd demand international attention.

Once the footage is up, I'll post here letting everyone know. At the moment, I can't say for sure where or when that might be. I'll have a better idea after this weekend.

I always did want to be a movie star. |

Trouble looms in the form of a car making grinding noises accompanied by smoke signals. It's in the shop now, and we're scrambling for an alternative. I should know more in a few hours, but we may not be able to make it.

Regardless of when it happens, you ought to release it. I would pay for a DVD copy.
