On April 30th, 2005, I videotaped the 2005 Nebula Awards Ceremony, in Chicago, Illinois. This was my first big video project, after doing a lot of video editing and DVD projects on contract. It was also the first time it was professionally videotaped, as far as I can discover.
This DVD contains the awards ceremony, plus a number of additional features, including a complete list of all nominees, a separate list of the 1965 Nebula Award nominees as mentioned in the Toastmaster's opening speech, brief biographies of the Toastmaster Neil Gaiman, the Service to SFWA Award recipient Kevin O'Donnell, Jr., the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award recipient Anne McCaffrey and all presenters, and a short memorial tribute video.
This production would not have been possible without the cooperation of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc., and Andrew Burt (Vice-President), and the assistance of Jeffrey Liss (2005 Nebula Awards Committee Chairman), Steven H Silver (Ombudsman) and Cary Williams (Hotel Liaison).
Nor would it have been possible without the excellent work of my camera crew: J Steven Ford and Sharon Edrick of Heirloom Productions and Garland Labat of Memory Wave Video.
