FMF Fanime Panel

"Frosted Mini Fears En Mas!" was the second panel hosted by the FMF team. It took place on May 24, 2014 at the FanimeCon convention in San Jose, Ca. It was announced on April 28th, 2014 in a vlog featuring Carlos Farrell, Phil Spruner & Chad Garcia.

The panel itself featured Efren Aguliera, Carlos Farrell, Chad Garcia, and Phil Spruner. While not appearing at the panel itself, Salvatore Guerisoli did appear in a prerecorded video message.

Format
"Frosted Mini Fears En Mas!" had a different format the SacAnime Panel. Once again Phil Spruner hosted and began things by playing the promo for the panel that had been playing on Stage Zero all morning. Following that he introduced the rest of the cast who each had selected an episode from the first two seasons of the show to play followed by behind the scenes stories from each one.

Phil selected Sal's story "No me gusto Amigo Fantasma" and shared a story regarding production of the episode. He also played a prerecorded message from Sal for the attendee's.

Chad selected his story "The Cecil Hotel" and talked about the response the video has gotten as well as the difficulties in conceptualizing the visuals for the story.

Efren selected "Ruffugio Park" and explained how it was the first story he recorded following "Signal Unknown" and how unprepared he was for shooting the visuals. Phil also mentioned how he wasn't given much direction for the visuals and so if you replace the narration with stock music you get "a real estate video for Hercules, Ca"

Carlos selected the pilot episode "Her Friend at the Ganges" and shared how he got involved with FMF and points out an easter egg hidden in the visuals that Phil elaborates on. When creating the image of the photograph at the end of the video, he used a picture of Spawn to create her shadow. (He further points this out in the FMF Unboxed episode "Motion Tracking & Easter Eggs") Efren also shares how originally it was he who recorded the audio but due to a technical issue it was unusable.

Following that Phil presented the Halloween special "Cooking 4 Kids" as well as an updated version of the "Making of" video that they played at SacAnime (This video has never made its way online) Before closing out the show with Q&A.
