Camp Fangamer: New Videos & Recap

CampFangamer

Camp Fangamer 2015 has ended!  What an amazing experience… I can hardly put it into words how incredibly cool it was to hang with so many EarthBound fans for two days straight.  Hopefully you got to either attend or watch the Twitch stream – there was some insanity that went down that simply has to be witnessed.

It would be too difficult to summarize all the cool stuff that went on at this convention, so instead, we’ll just focus on what happened with Ridgway Films at Camp Fangamer:

  • We premiered two shorts at the EB Film Fest!  One, The Fans Film Earthbound, was a ten-minute re-edit of our longer film, From the Fans with Love, which re-imagines our fan comment submission experiment as though a live chat were constantly interrupting the flow of the video.  People seemed to like it!  Our second BRAND-NEW short, Lost and ‘Bound, is an original story about a man who seeks to reclaim the EarthBound cartridge and box that was stolen from him years ago.  Lost and ‘Bound went on to win one of three “best film” awards, but all the films shown at the festival were amazing and deserve a watch – check out the recorded stream of the whole festival here!
  • We created two public service announcements to support the various subsidiary companies behind PKORP!  One for Eagleland Waterworksand one for P. Moldyman Trash!
  • Anton and I got to guest-host a segment on the EarthBound Baaaash!!  Check out the stream from the first day here – the segment features myself tripping and running into a door frame, Anton talking about why EarthBound is a great game while simultaneously playing it, and everything finally culminating in the deepest coffee break speech you may ever experience.
  • After-party movie-making happened, which was a super-fun, super-chill experience.  Everyone who participated did an amazing job – expect the final film to appear online shortly!
  • And finally, various clips from the convention as it happened appeared on the Kommander Krunchy channel.

Thanks to everyone at Fangamer who made this wacky convention possible.  Until next time!

After-Party Movie-Making!

After Party Movie Making

More Camp Fangamer news!  Elliott and Anton are planning to goof around after the official end of the first convention day and make a movie, and we need YOU to come help us make it!  It may be EarthBound-themed, it may not be!  At this moment in time, we have no plans for this movie other than using whoever and whatever is available at the time of filming.  It’ll be a super chill atmosphere, full of improvising and coming up with stupid stuff on the fly.

Want to let us know you’ll be there?  Shoot us a message on Facebook or Twitter!  The current plan is to assemble around 11:30 pm somewhere around the convention area… we’ll update our social media channels when we get more details.

New Earthbound Short: That’s a Wrap!

New Short Films Incoming!!

 

Hello Internet!  It’s been too long.  We haven’t been updating our social media outlets much lately, but nonetheless we’ve been hard at work on brand-new film projects.inset_filmfestIn case you haven’t heard, Fangamer is going to be hosting an Earthbound-themed convention this summer.  It’s sure to be a worthy follow-up to 2013’s Earthbound Baaaash!!  One of the main events of the convention is going to be the EB Film Fest, for which Ridgway Films will be entering not one, but TWO short films, one of them a brand-new endeavor.  Perhaps some production updates will make it to this site as we race against the clock to get the new short film done on time?

If you have any short films of your own, it’s not too late to enter them!  The deadline is June 1st.
