Scott is also known for his work on fan made Anime Music Videos. You might have seen some of his videos at Otakon, they include but are not limited to: This is DBZ Life, All Star, Lain's Dream, and New World Man.

Michael "Mookie" Terracciano is a returning guest for us. He is the writer and artist of "DOMINIC DEEGAN: ORACLE FOR HIRE," a fantasy manga web comic that has been praised for its unique characters, addictive story lines and painful use of puns. Nearing its second year, with new episodes six days a week and a five-hundred strip archive, its no wonder people are talking about this up-and-coming comic strip! Besides working on DOMINIC DEEGAN's demanding update schedule, Mookie has submitted amateur Flash animations to Newgrounds.com under the name "Charlie Zero." "The Bard's Song" has become a permanent feature, and "My Angel" has remained on the TOP 50 BEST SUBMISSIONS list for over eleven months. We are thrilled to have him return to Bakuretsu Con as an official guest and panelist.
