Introduce Yourself / Re: Neweinstein the photoguy

« on: February 11, 2012, 14:36:18 »

if everything worked out I will order a partial-partial suit which should be done before CF

partial-partial Well ... I dont have the money for a head right now ... so it will be a combi of handpaws, armsleeves and a tail for me now

I will maybe add the head somewhen later when my job situation is better again ... 

The handpaws will be done in a way that I will hopefully still be able to use my camera gear while wearing them ...

OK, no problem

By the end of February, we hope to have a preliminary timetable up on our website for people to view.  We infact had a staff meeting this Saturday just gone to discuss this very agenda.

good to know ... then I maybe should sort out my proposed old-school-photoshoot with the events-team until end of the month

Discussion / old program ???

« on: February 05, 2012, 18:20:51 »

does maybe someone has a file floating around with the Confuzzled program from last year ... CF2012 will be my first ever con and it would be nice to see a typical program and what to expect ...

thanks in advance

some more changes/updates after discussion with the events team:

- announcement in the program with time and location (will maybe moved outside depending on the weather)
- time would most probably be something between 3 and 6 hours
- there will be lists to sign in for a certain timeslot ... I can only take a limited number of suiters (if you want shots as a couple or group please sign in for the same slot or contact me)
- I will hopefully bring enough film with me to take photos of everyone interested (as I will likely continue shooting in public areas and so far around 270 suiters are expected)
- I will try to collect the contacts of all suiters attending the shooting so I can send everyone a high resolution scan of his photo
- All photos will be posted in low resolution somewhere online (most likely Furaffinity or my own webpage)
- I will not ask for any payment despite my costs for films and chemicals but some tips by the attending suiters would be very welcome. If I somehow end up with more tips than what I have paid the plus will be used for some kind of donation.

I hope this raises the interest of some suiters to attend.
I also hope this makes it different enough from the official shooting ... i dont want to compete with that one

No one here who can tell me if it would be possible to run it like this?

I had been thinking further about how to run the old-school photoshoot. What would you think about:

- announcement in the program but without time and location which are to be announced during the con (so I can select a suitable spot inside or even outside depending on the weather)
- time would most probably be half a day so everyone who is interested can just drop in during that timeframe
- I will hopefully bring enough film with me to take photos of everyone interested (are there already some guesses how many suits will be running around?)
- I will try to collect the contacts of all suiters attending so I can send everyone a high resolution scan of his photo
- All photos will be posted in low resolution somewhere online (most likely Furaffinity or my own webpage)
- I will not ask for any payment despite my costs for films and chemicals but some tips by the attending suiters would be very welcome. If I somehow end up with more tips than what I have paid the plus will be used for some kind of donation.

Maybe I am already to late to put it in to the program ... no idea how far you already have proceeded.

What would you think about that idea?

I also need to find a person with a video camera. :3 Any volunteers

I know a fur from the UK who is a professional camera operator but so far he is not sure if he will be able to attend CF

Maybe we will be lucky and he can come ....

Discussion / Re: Convention transport for the future?

« on: January 24, 2012, 14:20:24 »

I think it would be a nice addition. I will also have to look for a transport from BHX to the Con. It seems a combo of a bus and a train will at least bring me to Hinckley and then I hope that the shuttle to the hotel will work or otherwise i will maybe even need a taxi as it seems that the hotel is quite a bit outside the city ... so ... a direct shuttle would come in very handy ...

Introduce Yourself / Re: A husky says hello

I wonder if it's more along the lines of people who are choosing this as a first con are more likely to try and get into the forums and get to know people beforehand whereas people who've either attended the con before or who are veteran con-goers don't do forums as much because they know what to expect?

most likely ... same for me ... CF2012 will also be my first con and I am also in this forum ... ;-)

Hello Taran,

really tempting. Ngala is a wonderful suit. I am not the zombie-guy but I think Breynz could make some intersting photos too - especially if we add some dramatic lighting. One reason more to bring the flash.

Maybe we can just meet somewhere at CF during the beginning and look around for the time and a good location. I will try to contact you on FA before CF so we can arrange it.

Of course everyone else intersted is also welcome to contact me either here in the forum or over at FA (see my signature below).

Thanks for all the comments ... I think i will not announce it as an official event ... but I will be around with my camera so if you are interested we can meet during the Con and take some photos.

I have never done that before so this will be a first try ... if the photos turn out well and everything runs fine I will maybe offer it as an official event the next time

So if you are intersted just contact me somehow (during the con is enough) and we can see how to do it the best way ...
