VFX Non-Con 2013
Following the Supernatural convention that was held in Vancouver in August 2013; the Visual Effects Team along with Jules from SuperWiki arranged a get together for the fans as an opportunity to meet the VFX team and discuss the amazing VFX on the show.

The VFX Non-Con consisted of showings of unofficial SPN VFX demo reels, some astonishing before and after VFX shots and a Q&A session with the VFX Coordinator Ryan Curtis.
The event was even live streamed to the fans that couldn't attend in person. After all of that the fans then got a chance to have their pictures taken with, chat to and get autographs from each of the VFX crew in attendance:

- 2D Artist - Rikin Patel

Then there was the wonderful and extremely informative Q&A session with Ryan Curtis and Mark Meloche where the fans learnt about different types of demon smoke, what the VFX crew's role in the show and on set is and about some scenes that were too gory to actually air on TV.
After this the fans got a chance to chat with the VFX crew, get their pictures taken with them or just buy them a drink for all the hard work that they do.
