Papercrafting Products Videos from CHA’s MegaShow 2016
Papercrafting product walk-thru’s and demos, and chats with designers, oh my!
Yup, it’s that time of year again!
It’s time to share walk-thru’s and demos, and time spent with your favorite artists and designers, from the craft industry’s annual Craft and Hobby Association’s MegaShow (#CHAShow2016), which took place in Anaheim, California (USA) January 7-12, 2016.
Welcome to the CHA MegaShow – Winter (January) 2016 – Anaheim, CA, USA
We’re back from CA and just wrapped up the process of downloading, editing, titling, uploading, tagging and writing the descriptions for the 21 videos Steph shot at this event!
We’re ready to give you another “insider” peek into the industry’s largest, U.S.-based trade event for crafting (and more specifically, papercrafting!) – ready to be inspired?
The five days Steph spent at this annual craft industry event – the Craft and Hobby Association‘s Mega Show – attending business sessions, checking out manufacturers’ workshops, chatting with other industry folks (and celeb spotting) and walking the show floor from one end to the other (multiple times so nothing was missed!), were captured “on film,” and there are not just videos to shares, but more than 1k pix too!
And we promise this is MUCH better than sitting through Uncle Milt’s vacation slides or home movies – these videos, and the 1000+ photos shot, are so much more fun and interesting ’cause they’re all about papercrafting and being inspired to create!
Since this event is not open to the general public, this is a chance for YOU to take a peek inside and see what goes on “behind the scenes” through the lenses of Steph’s cameras.
This is about showing you the stuff that makes us all ooh and aah, the fab NEW papercrafting goodies that’ll soon be making their way to your favorite local papercrafting stores, and the amazing projects your favorite artists and designers have created with them!
And the best aspect of the videos WE shot? You’ll find some unique content – tips and tricks shared in response to attendee questions, philosophical shares about what creating means to the artist being filmed, funny tidbits and more!
Steph’s focus was, of course, on all the new papercrafting products, but she always checks out products for all sorts of creative and crafting pursuits and she works hard to find and share something you might not see anywhere else.
This year’s “hot” finds?
You’ll just have to check out our videos and photo galleries to see if YOU can spot them!
Steph had pre-event meetings with potential business partners and then once the event was underway, she got busy with:
- popping into some of the business sessions and workshops to see and capture what was being shared and/or created;
- visiting 100+ booths (where her video camera and DSLR were always active!);
- attending fun media and invitation-only events;
- and, running into and catching up with old industry friends, as well as making some new ones!
And, she was one of three industry representatives invited to participate in a CHA Wrap-Up video series shot on-site – stay tuned for links to those wrap-up videos as well!
The “recorded proof” of this whirlwind five days is just a click away!
