Hi all. It's been a while, I hope you've all been well. So I did a thing today - I went to Comicon London for the first time in a long while. Spending 2 hours trying to get into MCM only to miss out on seeing the Trash Taste lads really stung, and realising I didn't know anyone and disconnected from the scene that I used to love, really hurt. However, it also really made me want to get back into making Con music videos. Hope everyone's who made it is having a great time there, maybe I'll see some of you next year, maybe behind a camera again. Watch this space, and stay safe out there!

Well Hi there, it's been a while!

We are very excited to announce that, after a year away, The F-Stop Enthusiast will be at MCM Comicon this weekend, filming with good friend and collaborator Joshua George. Here's the video that you were so wonderful in helping with last year, if you like what you see and want to be involved, please do drop us a line, or come up to us if you see us! I'm so excited to be back in the game, and can't wait to work with you all, new faces and old!

So some of you may or may not know, I also take photographs! Admittedly not as many as I used to or should, but I hope to be able to take many more at cons and beyond in 2018! If you're interested in working together, do drop me a message!

Well after nearly a week and multiple denied names, the page name change has finally been approved - welcome to the new, improved and 65% less salt F-Stop Enthusiast Productions! ...what a mess of a name, but apparently it had to have "productons" in the name.

18/12/2017

When you try to rebrand your page, but the new name still hasn't been approved by facebook so all your material is mismatched Hopefully the "grand" relaunch will be finalised soon! Looking forward to not having confusing branding up! Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Hi guys! As many of you know, the old Shades On Productions was long associated with one of the two founding members, and has become synonymous with his style and presence in the UK Comic Convention Community. As that chapter has now ended, it's time for a new name, a new look and exciting new content. I hope to be able to work with you all, new friends and old, in the coming months, on photoshoots, Cosplay videos and more. The new name is pending approval, and I'm more fired up than ever! Keep an eye on the wall for updates, recommend us to your friends, and continue to be a fantastic, kind and welcoming community! Thank you all for your incredible support, and I'll see you in 2018!

- Rory, The F-Stop Enthusiast

Hello All, Rory from Shades On here! As some of you may know, the Shades On brand has long been associated with co-founding member Kyle McVean, who started Shades On with me in 2012. As of today, Kyle is no longer part of the Shades On brand. I will release a more detailed statement soon. Thank you all for your continued support and understanding!

Well it's been a month since MCM London, and we've had such a fantastic response to our Video! In order to ease your post-con winter blues, we just wanted to show some short clips of the fantastic cosplayers who didn't make it into the video! First up is The Road to Cosplay with her fantastic Aquaman cosplay!

Hi all! Rory from Shades on here. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who watched, liked, commented and shared the video! The response has been better than we could have dreamed of! It means the world to us and we can't wait to show you guys our next project next year.

Unfortunately, after putting up with render after render, my poor graphics card has given up the ghost and died. So I until I've diagnosed the issue or replaced it, I won't be able to get any clips or GIFs out, I'll keep you posted, and hopefully can get them out to you soon!

So thanks again, and Stay Classy!

- Rory.
