Chicago November 2008 - Main J2 Panel - Enhanced Edition Con Video

CHICON 2008 main J2 panel with Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. This event took place on Sunday, November 16, 2008. The source videos are not my own and I used multiple sources; see below for details. Close to half of the final edit came from the video AgtSpooky generously provided me, which I believe did not previously exist on KZbin.
Check my channel for other Enhanced Editions of old con videos. This is an ongoing project, so please subscribe if you'd like to be notified of new releases. I have an index and more details about the project here: www.tumblr.com/blog/detailtilted
ENHANCEMENTS
1. I ran an upscale and stabilization program to improve video quality and reduce shakiness, and I made color corrections to try to make the colors look more natural and consistent between the sources. The end result isn't perfect, it was originally recorded with 2008 technology, but I do think it looks much better than any other video of this event published to date.
2. I added (mostly) subtle content to help explain pop culture references that viewers might not be familiar with and to refresh people's memories of episodes being discussed.
3. I added GOOD, color-coded subtitles, unlike the auto-generated atrocities most of these older videos have that don't even make sense. If you turn on the CC button, these sometimes chaotic videos will make a LOT more sense! If I wasn't confident about what they said, even if I thought I could guess based on context, I marked it as [inaudible] in the subtitles.
Red = Jared
Blue = Jensen
Green = Audience
Yellow = Fan at mic
White = Staff
VIDEO REFERENCE NOTES
1. I don't have a reference for the first time Jared talked about his Camaro, presumably before this panel since the fan knew about it, but he mentioned it on an Inside of You podcast in 2020 and said he still had it at that time. The link starts at timestamp 1:25:06. • Supernatural's JARED P...

Thank you, I finally understand that Jensen improvised on Tench inch Hero - the entrance steppe was his idea - he didn't expect to director take it. And the steppe made the entrance scene Priestly so amazing 🤗🤗

[@DetailTilted]

I hadn't seen Ten Inch Hero before, so when I originally watched this video I didn't really understand what he was talking about. I had fun researching it and finally seeing his "little dance". It was a great improvisation!

[@sughrabanu1208]

Sweety youre' doin god's work...the video quality is amazing...kudos 👏

[@DetailTilted]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! ♥

[@nosandhere6488]

Thank you so much for this edit! This is great!

[@DetailTilted]

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it!

[@keidaught]

10:45 OH THAT'S WHY YOU SUBTITLE THEM WITH RED AND BLUE! i love your details, woah!

[@DetailTilted]

Haha, thank you! My other color choices have been pretty random, but I'd had my mind set on using red and blue for Jared and Jensen for that reason.

If you have any old convention videos you’d be willing to contribute to this project, please e-mail me at [e-mail]. If you know anyone who might have some, I’d also greatly appreciate it if you could let them know about my search. Even if your videos are on KZbin, I’d rather get my hands on the original files if you still have them. The originals are much more likely to upscale well. If I use your videos, I’ll of course credit you. Also, if I can get your videos to upscale (I can’t always), then I’d be happy to send the upscaled versions back to you for your collection. Thank you!

Regarding the "I don't do fear" reference at 8:47 to which Jared responded, "Like that television show"... Someone on Tumblr (see post here: www.tumblr.com/detailtilted/750019431248396288/hiya-in-your-latest-vid-for-chicago-november?source=share) suggested this could be a reference to a paranormal reality show that aired on MTV in 2000 - 2002 called Fear: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_(TV_series) Another Tumblr member commented on the above post and brought to my attention that Jared had also hosted a reality series called "Room 401" on MTV which, according to the following wiki page, "took unaware victims into the center of pranks that played like mini horror movies." So maybe the reference could have been related to that? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_401
