As promised here are some choice photos from the Legend of Neil finale screening last night. If you’d like to see the full album, mosey over to facebook, where I’ve put up a ton more pictures.

Now, grab a bottle of cheap wine, watch the Finale on full screen, and peruse these pictures, and it’s basically like you were there last night.

We’ll have a slew of professional photos tomorrow, but in the meantime, here are some guerrilla photos from tonight’s festivities.

The line of eager fans started hours before the screening. People flew in from Oregon, Seattle, and Philadelphia.

A few people milling about before the screening starts.

Oh boy. Day three of Comic-Con was amazing, with all of our panel talent gathering throughout the day at the Atom Booth as we prepped for our back to back screenings of the premiere of Season 3 of Legend Of Neil and The House That Drips Blood On Alex.

But before that we managed to relax a little bit with our friend, the Shoeless Stormtrooper:

and the Pirate Band:

As Matt tweeted:
Every other weekend this pirate band makes less sense. #AtomAtComicCon

Then, between making probably too many space marine related jokes on the Atom Twitter, it was just chaos at the booth. The lovely and seriously lovely co-star of The House That Drips Blood On Alex, iJustine stopped by the booth and tried a Tommy Wiseau mask on for size.

Then, as 7:30 approached, the line outside room 7AB started to form for the premiere of Legend Of Neil! Check out the recap right now of Season 2, to get caught up, cause Season 3 premieres tomorrow!

The panelists, series creator Sandeep Parikh, Tony Janning (Neil), Felicia Day (Fairy), Angie Hill (Zelda), Mike Rose (Old Man), Eric Acosta (Wizrobe), and Scott Chernoff (Ganon) line up with moderator Alex Albrecht from The Totally Rad Show for the premiere.

The fans in attendance got to see the first and second episodes of Season 3, with Neil taking the plunge back into Hyrule in the premiere episode and Ganon and Wizrobe plotting how to get Neil once and for all in episode 302. The Q&A was hilarious, with a great appearance from a hilarious special guest, the shield eating Like Like from the series.

And it went from one packed house to the next, as Tommy Wiseau and gang rolled in for The House That Drips Blood On Alex. The screening was absolutely bonkers, as the trailer would suggest:

People even showed up ready to rock with their Tommy Wiseau masks. Stop by the Atom Booth, 3445, today if you still want one!

The screening was bonkers, with moderator (and co-star) Joey Greco, and co-stars Justine Ezarik, and Alex creators Brock LaBorde, Jared Richard, Chris Trew (Studio 8) doing their best to contain and control the force of nature that is Tommy Wiseau. Afterwards, there was a minor league mob scene as Tommy signed autographs in the main hall.

For everyone who was unfortunate enough to miss this screening, The House That Drips Blood On Alex isn’t going to premiere on Comedy Central until closer to Halloween, but we’re looking into the possibility of doing an additional screening before then, so keep checking the blog for updates.

And now we’re back to the floor, keep up on the Atom Twitter for more updates, or right here at the blog.

It’s been another hard day at Comic Con for the Atom crew. Giving away awesome swag, hosting autograph signings, and keeping you all updated with snarky tweets can really take it out of you. Though, we aren’t the only ones exhausted after a long day at the Con.

Even Batman needs some down time. They look so peaceful when they’re sleeping.*

A highlight of today was a visit from the Legend Of Neil Crew! They stopped by to sign some posters and mingle with their devoted fans.

We also had visits from the Ninja Babes From Space…

and Chewbacca! Andrew took the time to marvel at this young man’s attention to detail on Twitter today.

Later in the day I finally had some time to walk the floor. Good thing too, otherwise I would’ve missed my favorite Street Fighter, Zangif!

Why hasn’t Spike done a Deadliest Warrior on Street Fighter II? Get on it, bros!

Outside the convention hall was just as crazy as inside.

Looks like Syfy has partenered with Pixar for an UP! sequel (JK you guys, those are just two poor girls tied to giant balloons)

After that, I went to the TRON Legacy experience down town. I waited in line for 45 minutes to check this thing out. They lead you through an old arcade facade, down some hallways, and into this TRON room, which is pretty cool, but also felt a lot more like a Disco than being inside a video game world.

I kept worrying that Flynn was trying to roofie me.

See you all there (unless you want to murder me, in which case, I’ll be somewhere not there).

Anyway, two of our very own Atom alumni (who also publicly love video games) Sandeep Parikh, Writer/Director of The Legend of Neil, and Felicia Day, star of The Legend of Neil and the Guild were both on the red  carpet, dropping nerd-knowledge and hilarity alike.

“This was a really tricky episode to cast.  We had a friend in mind to play the role ever since we wrote it, my buddy Derek Mears but he became famous as Jason in the new Friday the 13th because he’s supremely talented and the timing didn’t work out.  So we really went on a hunt, we saw a bunch of talented dudes, but really the character had so many dimensions, it was really tough to find a complete package.  The guy had to be intimidatingly big, be able to play a real genuinely scary dude, have tremendous comedic timing, and be able to flip from a foppish british know-it-all to a molesty monster in a believable way.  Not an easy task for any actor.  Then 6′ 10″ Big Dave Mattey walked in the room and just nailed it with his audition.  Thank god.

The desert scene was again a pickup day that came a month after production and we drove out 2 and half hours to a joshua tree filled desert in order to grab that shot with a car full of Angie Hill, Tony Janning, Paul the camera op, Jeff our badass producer, and myself and we shot that scene.  It ended up looking really beautiful because of our color correctionist Aaron Moorhead, who did some insanely dramatic changes in the program Color to make it look really arid and brutal.”

“We shot this the in the same forest as a lot of exteriors in episode 1.  This was such a nutty day, it makes me hyperventilate a little even reliving it.  To be honest this was the only episode where I was just not sure would come out right.  There were so many variables considering we had to composite the fairy in, and it rained all over a lot of good takes, we shot a lot of Neil’s coverage without the Moblins there.  I was really nervous about the episode but then it turned out to be one of my favorites thanks to the magic of our VFX supervisor Sevan Najarian.  The dude, is truly a wizard… or wizrobe.”

“Finally a chance for Scott Chernoff and Eric Acosta (Gannon and Wizrobe) to really shine!  (And yes, I spell Gannon incorrectly on purpose bc in my version of LoZ that’s how it was spelled, look it up suckas).  This episode makes me really really regret not showing Scott sooner.  To be frank, we didn’t really have the budget to pull it off in season 1.  But now that you can finally see him, I think our audience will finally understand what a perfect villain we’ve got on our hands. Plus Jenn Rose our Makeup artist (who seriously is like someone I don’t think I can do this show without, she’s so damn talented, and so fun to work with) and our Costume Designer Jenny Green (ditto about her) really pulled out all the stops for Gannon, making him all the more menacing, vile, and hilarious.  I hope the readers are really starting to get an understanding of all the people that it takes to pull this show off.  It’s not just me and Tony and a bunch of actors.  There’s a hugely talented crew, and on top of that an amazing production team that’s making sure everyone is fed, everyone shows up on time, everyone signs the right forms.  Huge props to production (Nathalie, Gabe, Jeff), the unsung heroes of the set.”
