This interviewer is just a gem. Great questions, genuinely interested in the content and context, and polite and respectful while asking some rather interesting questions. I'm a Larry fan!
I wish more people conducted interviews like this gentleman did. He made sure that the participant was the star of each interview, not him. Very informative and entertaining.
I love that the primary service of Kings is to recognize people for their service to the Kingdom, and that no one in the Kingdom is considered a peasant. Awesome community! Can't wait to attend.
Valerie Sheppard i hope you do attend or, at least, check the sca out. this show was done well but really did not do justice to what the sca is. please contact your local sca group for more info or contact me directly and i will happily assist you getting involved. regards,logan
Terrific piece. Saw some faces I haven't seen for a while. Only thing they missed is nobody mentioned Pennsic University - 17 days of classes in everything from Arabic to Viking boat building. The husband spent his days on the battlefield, but I spent my days in class. Wonderful stuff.
Wonderful documentary, and congratulations to Armstrong for the fine workmanship. Mr. Berg's interview questions were well-thought-out. Either he came to the interview well-informed, or he did a great job of thinking on his feet during the interviews. Either way, the result was a balanced and informative view of our hobby. Thank you!
This is definitely one of the best pieces I've ever seen on the SCA and Pennsic. Because there are so many different kinds of people with such varied interests in the SCA, it's rather hard to describe what one of our largest events is about. This goes a long way to explaining it. Thank you for this.
I have loved Pennsic as my summer home for decades, and I can't wait to get back. We have (mostly) eliminated the plague, the inquisition, etc. We still have mosquitos. And sunburn. But there is no place like it except Valhalla.
Thanks for doing this! You guys did a wonderful job! It's loads of fun and I hope that those who watch it get a good idea of what we do. If this interests you PLEASE check out your local group and see if it's something you want to do. I've been playing for the last 8 years since I was in high school and have learned SO much ^_^
Is it just me, or did it seem like Lord Franz was going to have a deep, strong voice initially? His face, his looks, just match the Medieval character so well!
This is one of the fairest and most comprehensive reports on the Society that I've seen. Of those which are no longer than 30", it is likely the finest - it is certainly better than the one shown on CBS Sunday Morning several years ago. The crew that network sent to Gulf Wars spent three days filming various activities and interviewing SCAdians, but the brief segment it aired showed only fighting.
Wonderful! This is a great video for newcomers who are considering coming to Pennsic! And just watching it brought back so many memories. I'm really happy I was asked to be a part of it, just by being in the right place at the right time. :) Thank you!
Quick Question...As the Founder of the Combat Camera Corp, would it be ok for me to share this video with folks? I know it is a 'hidden' video right now. When will it be public?

Thanks for the kind words about this episode folks. We have made this video public now. Thanks for the helmet cam stuff SgtMonster!

quite a good segment because it didn't purely focus on the fighting, like a lot of other ones I've seen do.
This is THE best Pennsic interview, even now.

Best piece I've ever seen regarding SCA!! Well-done, interviewer. Well-done, indeed!

Thanks for a lovely piece on what we do in our spare time!

We come to Pennsic because it’s FUN!
great video, thanks for shooting it and posting! plus you got my household in there right at 12:00 ;)
this is an excellent video, very informative and a great look into the world. XD
Great Interview on Pennsic, probably the best i have seen thus far.
What a wonderful segment! Thank for great overview of our people!

Trying to find a chapter where I live but I really want to embrace my true talent which is poet and Bard.
Look at SCA.org. there is a "find my local group" interactive map.
Everybody wants to live in historical periods until it comes time for dental work. ;)
This is GREAT! And my family is featured (by speakers). How exciting.
he never did say "what the Pennsic War is about"
It is a war between the East and the Middle; the LOSER has to take Pittsburgh for the ensuing year.
Deward Roy why does nobody want Pittsburgh?
I don't know. You'd need to ask someone who was in on the planning of Pennsic ONE.
+Preatorian it's a joke about how Pittsburgh is not the best place
I wish they would have shown the Camp Gates of the Pennsic War
Quick Question...As the Founder of the Combat Camera Corp, would it be ok for me to share this video with folks?

I believe it's public now - share away!
Thank you for all your "behind the camera" work!
