Expo Booth Help

Postby Cú Éireann » Fri Aug 14, 2009 10:20 am

Since our realm is partially sponsored by a local college, we are allowed a booth at the college's "fall exposition," where the student orgs advertise to and recruit from the student body (especially the freshmen). One of the things we were hoping to include was a monitor running a loop of videos. Which brings me to my question:

Which videos do you think would be best for recruitment? We're definitely going to include some shots taken from big battles at events, and we're definitely going to include some videos or stills of us fighting, but I'd like to have some other videos with a little more production value, kind of like the Uruk-Hai recruitment videos. Do you guys have any suggestions for videos like that? Do you have any suggestions for anything else for the booth?

One of the things we did in Wolfpack was put together a large foamboard poster with a collage of Belegarth pictures. With digital pictures, I'm sure you could pull together a slideshow or collage in Photobucket or Picasa. You could also try to have examples of garb, weapons, and armor available at your table.

Will you actually be able to have people sparring? If so, there might also be some useful information here:

It is, unfortunately, an indoor event, and quarters are cramped, so it won't be a typical demo.

On the other hand, we may be able to snag a table near the door, and just have the fighting portion outside. I hope that we can arrange something like that- getting to see people fight and getting to participate in the fight are the best methods of getting people's attention.

But, at the very least, I was planning on having pictures, weapons and info slips, as well as a contact sign-up. And the videos.

Kyrian, that link is full of good stuff!
