A Glimpse into the World of Fan-Projects
Ever since the dawn of fanbases in the early 20th century, people with common interests banded together and started creating their own content. With today's access to technology and social media, this practice has become increasingly popular - but what are those fans really up to, an outsider might ask....
For this purpose, visual effects artist (& fanboy) Andreas Feix will offer a quick, tongue-in-cheek overview of the creative side of today's fandoms & their projects, and how it might be affecting the production of new content overall.
