Representing Zoic at the convention to answer questions as it relates to SERENITY or any of their other work will be:
JARROD DAVIS
Jarrod started working at Radium on the Firefly pilot, following it over to Zoic, where he’s been working for the last 5 years. He was one of the crew of Firefly for the entire run. On Serenity, he was sequence supervisor for the opening sequence, and also worked on shots from the battle sequence and the shot of Serenity landing on Haven, as well as programming various Lightwave tools for the artists to use during production.
MARK SHIMER
Mark was hired at Zoic midway through the season to help out on Firefly. He worked on 5 to 6 episodes, including reworking some shots on the pilot episode. On Serenity Mark did previz for several live action sequences and worked on shots in the Reaver Space sequences.
The vast majority of our guest celebrities take questions from the audience during their on-stage time. Therefore it is incumbent upon those that ask questions to make them ones that allow our mutual shared time with the celebrities to be enjoyable, interesting and entertaining for all (including the guest). Asking for hugs, telling stars we love them (we all do, that's why we're here), giving gifts (you can do this at photo ops), getting into long personal stories, or worse, is not acceptable for this format and, in fact, is quite self-centered when you are in essence "representing" all of fandom to a celebrity. Join us in trying to make this convention the best entertainment for everyone!
