CHICON 2008 Breakfast with Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles This event took place on Sunday, November 16, 2008. The source videos are not my own. Links to the originals are below. I "enhanced" them as described below.
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. Improved video quality. Unlike my other videos, I could not upscale these videos. The original quality was insufficient and the results were distorted. However, I did drastically reduce the very bright and incessant flashes and I somewhat improved the colors.
2. Added content to help explain references that viewers might not be familiar with, and to identify Supernatural episodes and/or scenes being discussed.
3. Added GOOD, color-coded subtitles that you can turn on with the CC button.
Red = Jared
Blue = Jensen
Green = audience
White = staff

SOURCE VIDEOS
I used 9 videos from 3 sources. To conserve space, I'm only linking to the first video in each series. We owe these people a huge debt of gratitude for capturing these videos in the first place!
1. The majority of the video and audio came from the following source. • 1 - Supernatural Chica... (5 videos)
2. Sometimes the above video taker took pictures, which caused audio to be lost and the frame to freeze. There were also a few small gaps between their videos. This was the source I used to fill in the gaps. • Jared and Jensen break... (3 videos)
3. Aside from the first source, this was the only other video that covered the first two minutes of the event. This one didn't focus on Jared and Jensen too well, so I didn't use the video at all, but I did use bits of the audio to help supplement the lost audio in my main source when pictures were taken during the first two minutes. • Chicago Supernatural C...
