ROBOCON 10
OCTOBER 6-8, 1995 - GRAND HOTEL - ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA
PROGRESS REPORT
Welcome to our first progress report; on behalf of the staff of ROBOCON 10,
I want
to personally thank you for your interest in being a part of this
convention. We've all
come a long way in the ten years since ROBOTECH's premiere in March of 1985.
Over this past decade, Japanimation fandom in Europe and the Western
Hemisphere has grown and prospered into a multi-million dollar industry.
Today, dozens of companies are marketing and promoting this art form to the
masses, with more and more titles entering the market everyday.
There is no doubt that ROBOTECH made an immeasurable contribution to the
Japanese Animation "boom" that resulted in the late 80's and still shows no
signs of slowing down. Over the weekend of October 6-8, 1995, we hope that
ROBOCON 10 will help to serve as a fitting tribute to this landmark animated
series.
Among the activities we have planned are panels with the voice actors,
people who worked behind the scenes, those involved in creating the music,
and various representatives of the american anime industry. Please write and
tell us what you would be interested in seeing.
WE ARE OFFICIAL!
AS OF MARCH 25, HARMONY GOLD HAS ENDORSED US AS THE OFFICIAL TENTH
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF ROBOTECH. THEIR ASSISTANCE WILL HELP US BRING
VARIOUS LICSENSEES AND ROBOTECH AFFILIATED COMPANIES TO OUR CONVENTION.
THESE INCLUDE: DEL REY, PLAYMATES, ACADEMY COMICS AND PALLADIUM BOOKS. THIS
IS TRULY GOING TO BE A ROBOTECH FEST!
Confirmed Guests of Honor :
CARL MACEK - The visionary behind the ROBOTECH television series, Carl
served as the show's producer and story editor. In 1985, in association with
Harmony Gold, Carl combined three separate and unrelated Japanese Animation
shows (MACROSS, SOUTHERN CROSS, and MOSPEADA) into the most compelling
animated drama series ever seen on american television. Carl is currently
the president of Streamline Pictures Inc., which continues to market
Japanese Animation to english-speaking audiences worldwide.
ARDWIGHT CHAMBERLAIN - As one of the series staff writers, Ardwight brought
his considerable experience as a screenwriter, author and playwrite to the
show and has also worked on many other projects with Carl Macek and
Streamline Pictures. Along with his other work, Ardwight is also an
experienced voice actor. In addition to providing the voice of Zor Prime on
ROBOTECH, he is currently featured as the enigmatic and mysterious Vorlon
Ambassador Kosh on BABYLON 5.
STEVE KRAMER - As the series' script editor, Steve Kramer was charged with
overseeing the work of the series' staff writers throughout all eighty five
episodes. An accomplished screenwriter, Steve has also lent his voice
talents to several of Carl Macek's projects; most notably as ROBOTECH's own
Sergeant Angelo Dante.
JOHN MORTAROTTI - As music editor, John was charged with placing the over
three and a half hours of source music throughout each episode of ROBOTECH.
With over a quarter of a century's experience in film music, John has
garnered several Emmy nominations, most recently for his work as music
supervisor for TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, a project that he has worked on
for the last seven years. An expert in the field of film music, John boasts
the largest private collection of library and early television music in the
world.
ARLON OBER - Serving as orchestrator, conductor, composer and songwriter,
Arlon Ober was instrumental in the creation of ROBOTECH's immensely popular
and widely demanded musical score. A veteran in the film music industry,
Arlon's other credits include work on the films FREEJACK, DEEP STAR SIX, and
numerous others.
TONY OLIVER - As the voice behind Rick Hunter, Tony Oliver created one of
the show's most memorable characters. Currently with Saban Entertainment,
Tony is the Supervising Producer of the blockbuster hit series MIGHTY
MORPHIN POWER RANGERS.
ULPIO MINUCCI - One of the driving forces behind the creation of the
ROBOTECH musical score. His rousing main title is one of the most memorable
themes in american science fiction, instantly conjuring up the image of the
grand space epic for which it was composed for. A former international news
correspondant, Ulpio has spent much of his life within the international
music industry and is a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, and
Sciences.
REBA WEST - With the unforgettable voice of Lynn Minmay, Reba West helped
create one of ROBOTECH's most recognizable characters. In addition to
providing the voice behind her character, Reba also doubled as Minmay's
singing voice.
EDDIE FRIERSON - The voice behind Lynn Kyle, ROBOTECH's resident hippie.
Kyle ended up being one of the show's most reviled character's, but Eddie
swears that the scripts didn't start out that way.
JAMES LUCENO - One-half of Jack McKinney (along with Brian Daley), James is
the co-author of all the ROBOTECH novels, from the original series, thru the
Sentinels, End Of The Circle and still more forthcoming books.
MELORA HART - The voice actress of the lovely and enigmatic character
Musica, from Southern Cross.
JOHN AND JASON WALTRIP - The tag-team duo from Eternity and now Academy
comics who have kept the Robotech fires burning every month with their comic
book rendition of Robotech II: The Sentinels have tenatively announced their
intention to attend. Their comic book is the longest running Robotech comic
title in history, and is selling steadily to this day.
We are currently in the process of contacting many of the other ROBOTECH
staff and cast members. We will be announcing many more Guests of Honor in
the coming months. STAY TUNED.
