Generally hoping for more live SDCC@Home panels this year! It was really tough to get excited about pre-recorded, edited panels last year. Anybody hear anything yet?
-
I haven't heard anything about what percentage of panels will be live.
I am moderating a prerecorded Podcasting 101 panel for this year's event, hopefully that will useful for anyone interested in getting into podcasting or knowing what's involved in producing the podcasts they enjoy.
-
That is something I would watch. Please post date and time when available.

I have a feeling everyone is ditching Comic con this year and creating their own con.
Lego Funko DC… Wonder if it will impact next year. I guess it’s cheaper to produce their on virtual
Con then going to Sddc. Hope it’s not a start of a trend.

Hopefully it's only a trend for virtual events. It's much more labor-intensive to set up and promote an in-person event... I'm hoping companies will be willing to just sit back and let SDCC do that part for them. :)

I've been seeing this, too. Everyone took advantage of No Comic-Con and just started throwing in their hats for their own thing. Even Netflix has its own something coming up... But nothing beats Comic-Con, physically! :)

i do not like the virtual events, unless it is something virtual i am watching at a Con, ;D ;D

UBlog is keeping an updated list as usual:
https://sdccblog.com/2021/07/announced-confirmed-comic-conhome-2021-virtual-panels/
And Gizmodo has an interview with David Glanzer:
https://gizmodo.com/sdcc-faces-changes-challenges-in-2021-and-beyond-1847216018
It doesn't sound like there's going to be much more live or interactive stuff than there was last year.

@TardisMom (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=842) Really helpful info. Thank you. Somewhat disappointing about the lack of live panels.

@darqamin (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4489) - What is the exact title of your podcasting panel? Thanks.

Podcasting 101

@darqamin (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4489) A search of the schedule shows your panel at 6pm on Saturday, not 3pm (https://i.imgur.com/GIYjuhd.jpg)
-
@marcia29 (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=352) It's showing up as 3pm for me, both in the schedule list and when I search. Are you by any chance in a different time zone than San Diego? Maybe it's trying to adjust to your local.

@semigeekgirl (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1291) You are probably right! Thank you. Usually, I forget about that little detail...time zones. ;D

I'm really impressed with the cultural diversity in panels this year. I'm excited about the Native American and Aztec ones.

It seems that CCI may be hosting a few movie watch parties during Comic-Con@Home 2021 including The Maltese Falcon, Star Wars, The Goonies, and Superman to name a few.
See https://scener.com/cci-films1 (https://scener.com/cci-films1) for all the info.
Looks interesting, but does require subscriptions to each the hosting streaming services to participate in all the events (Disney+, Netflix, and HBOMax).

I have not yet particpated in a watch party like these, and I am going to try this time. "The Little Shop of Horrors" one sounds like fun. @SteveD (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3710) - I didn't see that there were hosts for the watch parties listed on the SDCC program guide. Is there a place that I missed? Thanks!

@marcia29 (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=352) CCI listed the watch parties under the Films (https://www.comic-con.org/cci/films) category, instead of in the Program Guide.

CCI has now released the Anime watch party (https://www.comic-con.org/cci/anime) and Gaming (https://www.comic-con.org/cci/games) schedules for Comic-Con@Home 2021.
For the Anime screenings, you will need to be an Amazon Prime, HBO Max, and/or Netflix subscriber to view the content.
I'm surprised they didn't include Spirited Away this year for it's 25th anniversary.
-
I am going to have to pretend that I am in San Diego for programming timing. 3 hours difference for me.

They don't seem to have put a ton of thought into any of it, really, which is making me sad. I know a lot of studios didn't want to participate and I'm sure their small staff worked really hard on everything, but... this year's Con @ Home seems like even more of a placeholder than last year's. :'(
-
CCI has now added their ASL Programming (https://www.comic-con.org/cci/asl-programs) to the schedule for Comic-Con@Home 2021.
American Sign Language (ASL) Programs are scheduled to air immediately following their respective YouTube releases on scener.com
The Comic-Con@Home 2021 programming guide has also been updated to include all of the various programming types (Programs, Games, Anime, ASL, etc.) in one complete guide.
Furthermore, site navigation has been moved to a hamburger menu on the upper right side on the page.
And that is your Comic-Con@Home update for the day. ;)

To be fair, "they" = anyone who wanted to submit/put together a panel; there are TONS of interesting panels, just not a ton of 'sexy' studio/network/major comic company panels. Many of those realize at this point it is far easier to pick your own solo day, put together your own 'at-home' marketing presentation for fans, and not have to share the spotlight with anyone.
Also remember, at the end of the day that's what all of the corporate panels really are: massively hyped marketing presentations. The corporations know that there is little/no buzz with releasing footage/canned interviews online since all of the legit buzz comes from the audience excitement: the die-hard fans who camped out for 24+ hours to watch a 3 minute trailer + ogle at celebrities while hearing the hard-sell from directors or executives or stars who were told exactly what to say by either said executives or their own PR handler.
Don't get me wrong: I'm one of those die-hard fans who camps out forever to see those over-hyped marketing presentations. But when we're talking "@ Home," this is no different than getting exciting to see the new DUNE trailer that dropped this morning to just as much internet fanfare and publicity as if the same trailer would've dropped concurrently in Hall H. One thing that last year's @ Home experience 'taught' me is that after attending SD Comic-Con 20+ consecutive years, the real fun is the different people: the once-a-year friends that I hang out with downtown; the 'new' like-minded folks I meet in lines or sitting next to in panels; the bonding with my kids wandering around the Exhibit Hall; running into celebrities in the Gas Lamp. All of those semi-intangibles are what make SDCCI an incredibly fun, unique experience that can just never be duplicated completely @ Home (and can never really be tangibly explained to someone who's never attended SD Comic-Con before)

I agree, but for me that IS kind of the entire point. For instance I'll probably never get around to watching the Dune trailer, by myself, at home, even though I'll probably see the movie in theaters when it comes out. Maybe I'm a bad geek, but I don't go to Comic-Con for the tiny panels about indie productions (unless one of those is an exact specific thing I already love, but that's rare), or for fan meetups or comics. I go for the massively overhyped marketing, for the swag, for the cosplay, for the offsites where I can zipline through Gotham or take a picture riding a dragon. I go to sit in the dark with 6,000 other people all watching that trailer at the exact same time.
And after a year and a half of no events, watching fan-made panels on YouTube on my couch... just isn't all that different from any other day. :(

AMEN!!!
I don't have any expectations the Special Edition will come up to the wonder that is the regular Con, but God willing, I'll be there!!!

These are mostly my thoughts as well. While I enjoy a mix of bigger and smaller in-person panels, I just can't get excited about watching fuzzy videos on my computer or buying things online. That's no different that every day.

@darqamin (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4489) I watched your Podcasting 101 panel and discovered some very helpful things. Inspirational for starting my own podcast...perhaps. Glad you posted about it.
