2000 Fedcon 8
Federation Convention 8 in Bonn, Germany
19th-21st May, 2000
From the 19th-21st May, I attended the Star Trek Federation Convention that took place in the Maritim Hotel in Bonn. This was the second time I have attended this annual event and this time I took a number of pictures that I have released online on this website.
Live long and prosper!

Digital Ghost
Fedcon 8 started with a tremendous fan-film called "Digital Ghost", made in Germany and in German by Tobias Richter of "The Light Works" - A company specialising in digital imagery.
As in other fan films, nobody was paid in the making of this this film and it is not allowed to sell this film. It was however released on DVD as part of a Bonus DVD distributed to those who purchased the TNG series on DVD in Germany. It was produced entirely with virtual sets and with the help of many professionals from a variety of areas, in front of the camera and behind it. "FedCon 8 - Digital Ghost" is a co-production of "The Light Works" and "van Wingerden Filmproduktion". It was the opening movie for the "Federation Convention 8" (2000) at Maritim Hotel Bonn and received a standing ovation from the fans when it was shown at the Opening Ceremony for the first time.
The film was awarded the Animago Prize 2001 in the Category "Professional Animation Film"
