In the midst of summer, every year San Diego houses one of the largest conventions known to the Comic industry, also known as Comic-Con. With floods of over 20,000+ attendees, you're sure to find all sorts of pre-parties, after-parties, and one-off events happening all over San Diego. This year, MTV decided to host, for the first time, The MTV Fandom Awards, and what not a better time and location to host them than at the heart of Comic-Con week. Now of course, you can't just have an awards ceremony without some form of entertainment....right? And furthermore, you can't just have entertainment without some form of Co2 Special Effects RIGHT?....

Well, without sugar coating it, what you see is what you get. MTV Fandom Awards featuring G-Eazy and Linkin Park, with CryoFX Co2 Jets making quite the appearance and definitely setting the tone for a "Blast" of a time! The Fandom Awards were held on July 24th and aired on MTV the following Sunday. Were not here to talk about that though. What we are here to talk about is the Cryo System which was used for this event. now, CryoFX had a hand in other areas of Comic-Con 2014, but for the most part, really made an appearance for the Fandom Awards ft. G-Eazy performance.

The setup essentially consisted of (4) CryoFX Co2 Jet DMX 512 jets, the same ones used on the main stages of Coachella and EDC. Each jet had is own 50lb Co2 Tank which was secured on the sides of the stage. CryoFX Brand High Pressure Co2 Hose was used to feed the Co2 to each jet. Once the MTV Fandom Awards started, the Co2 Jets were put on standby until G-Eazy performed. They were then primed and used for the remainder of the evening!

As shown in images and videos (www.youtube.com/CryoFX), the humidity was just right as the Cryo Jets reached heights of over 45ft. This is a perfect example of how the correct humidity level can affect the output of Co2 Jets. As for now, the MTV Fandom Awards ft. Linkin Park and G-Eazy was a hit and is publicized by many media outlets to include Yahoo News, MTV Networks and more, all of which include photos of Co2 Special Effects provided by CryoFX!
