This post in an attempt to gather the pictures and videos that I have made while I was in Paris and also the material that appeared on the internet. There are some contributions too from some kind people that I met there who shared their pictures and videos with me.
If you have pictures and videos and would like to share, I would love to have them so please feel free to do it ^^
I tried to make the post as organized as possible, but it might look a bit confusing xD I have separated the material by dates and one for the local press. Furthermore, I’ve separated each of them in picture galleries and videos.
The videos are in several formats: AVI, MPG, MOV and FLV. You might need a special player or codec to play them correctly.

July 3, Signing sessions and CLAMP Cosplay Contest at Japan Expo

Mediev.net
>> Videos:
The first video is from their first signing session and the second video is the moment where CLAMP announced the contest’s extra winners (the ones to whom they gave their Ioryogi plush toy). The second video is too big so I had to upload it on MegaUpload.

This interview was made by the french press agency AFP in the backstage of Japan Expo. There is one version in french and one in english. The french version has more footage than the english one.
I’ve ripped the videos and uploaded them to my server (in case anyone would like to keep them forever ^^).

Hello Benoit!!! Are you guys having a good time there? I’m sure you are! Say hi to Emelie! =D
Your videos are amazing (so big!), the pictures too! I haven’t seen other pictures from the “inside” with Ohkawa’s speech, so I’m very grateful for that!
It gives the chills too everytime I watch them. Thanks again for poking me on that day about CLAMP’s whereabouts, I’ll be forever grateful!

Those pictures from the speech are soooo bad, but well… I also have a small vid of the speech (I think) but it’s really dark so I didn’t put it online. But I guess it could be of any interest to some people ^^ I’ll upload it when I’m back in France !
