Subject: Late 90s video in a game store with Chris Bledsoe interview.
Around Fall 1997 I had a video project for school so I did it on "Hobby Gaming" since I had just started into the hobby the previous year. I went to my FLGS (Showcase Comics when it was in the Granite Run Mall [Philly suburbs]) shot some footage and interviewed Chris Bledsoe who had worked on Warzone for Heartbreaker Hobbies and then went on to Ral Partha where he worked on Crucible. Afterwards he started his own Company, ZN Games, but he died in the early 2000s just as the first releases were coming out.
I found some of the raw footage and managed to get it on YouTube and figured I'd share it.

Most of the sculpts from his ZN games company (minus a few that had licencing issues) are now available from Impact! Miniatures thanks to a collaboration between Chris's father and Tom Anders over at impact
some of the money from the sales of these minis now goes into the Chris-Bledsoe PayitForward Memorial Fund which is intended to help other small mini companies (generally by funding KS projects, the rewards from which are sold on and the money put back into the fund), there's a facebook page for it below
