Club Fantasci Origins Theft
Donation protected
Hello!
As some of you know, I attended Origins 2016 and had two cameras with lights set up in the retailers lounge. On Friday, June 17th, I closed the Retailers Lounge, shut off the lights and made sure the doors were locked at approximately 6:30pm. I returned at 8:45 pm to find that one of my Canon D7 markII camers with the Canon 18-35mm lense and bag as well as my Acer Aspire S7, phone charger and card reader had all be stolen during that 2 hour and 15 minute period. They left my other Canon D7 markII and all my lights, microphone, stands and tripods thankfully.
Club Fantasci had just purchased this set up exclusively for the board game industry so we could help promote and produce high quality video production. This was a $6,000 expense for me in which we make almost zero dollars for most of what we do in our pursuit of bringing our wonderful hobby to the masses.
Currently, the Columbus Police Department hasn't even started to look for my gear. Also the Convention Security stated they didn't see anyone entering or leaving on camera and have yet to let me see any reports on key card entry which was needed to gain access to the room. Based on how long this has taken, we feel that whom ever stole the equipment is no longer in Columbus or has pawned the gear and we will never recover it.
As far as insurance goes, the deductible is more than the actual equipment itself.
We ask that you stand with us and help me raise the money back to purchase our gear back to be able to bring you more content or help promote your games.
This gear is essential to us being able to produce the video content that has been sent our way to help the publishers promote their games.
Any addition funds raised will be used solely for the improvement or purchase of additional equipment to better produce the best video production possible.
