The ConFuzzled 2016: Carnival of the night Photos are ready!

This year’s photoshoot titled ‘Confetti’ was born from the thinking about the theme ‘Midnight carnival’ and what symbolised it. Confetti just jumped out at EZ Wolf as the obvious choice as the thing that makes a party, a party! How could we not say no to confetti?? And they let us loose with 15Kg of the stuff!!

This year the photoshoot team, Malamutt and EZ Wolf had the help of some awesome volunteers who stepped in and and really help make the confetti experience so much more awesome! A huge thanks goes out to Branston Horse, SilverWolfFox, Axle Fox, Jake ‘Fur-YetUnnammed’, Ruffwood Azemus and Dannywuff. Thank you so very much!

Just a couple notes about the photos.
During the photoshoot we used a professional confetti blower, which was insanely loud when operated next to it. This meant that we all had to wear ear protection. While fine for suiters, hearing the blower all day would really hurt our ears. During the shoot we suffered some equipment failures and one catastrophic failure of a flash unit. This explains why the photos from Saturday afternoon right after the parade don’t have a blue background. Some of you more keen eyed fuzz balls might also notice subtle differences in light, This was due to our lights overheating and not firing. We could not hear the alarm from the flash unit due to how loud the confetti blower was. Only when an accidental picture was taken when the blower was not running did we discover the problem. I have done my best in post to correct this as much as possible.
Why do some have more pictures than others? Well for this shoot I took much more photos than normal due to the randomness of confetti. By taking more pictures there was a greater chance that at least few would not be rejected. Another reason is that some can make so many poses in such a short space of time, that there will be more pictures. Also it can be just timing, when it’s quiet and you are the only one there, we have more time and can really have some fun with pictures. I like to try and make everything fair and get everyone in as much as possible in the time available.

The ConFuzzled 2015: Wonderland! Photos are ready!

Confuzzled 2015 Fursuit Photoshoot 'Down the Rabbit Hole'

This year's photoshoot titled 'Down the Rabbit Hole' was inspired from the film 'Alice in Wonderland' and as a result we decided to construct our own rabbit hole.
The rabbit hole is a 1:12 scale model, constructed from paper mache and decorated with doll house furniture. The idea was to closely match the film as if you were actually falling down a rabbit hole. There are no fancy Photoshop or any other digital tricks going on here. This is all real!
The tunnel took around 30 hours of combined effort of EZwolf and Malamutt to construct.
You can see more in the behind scenes album in the gallery about how we achieved this.

Many thanks to EZwolf for creating the concept and to KwisA for his help during the photoshoot. Without them none of this would be possible.
Also many thanks to Jason for doing an amazing job on the event photography.

We have a new gallery!!!

This year we have moved to a new gallery to offer you the best viewing possible of all the photos. You will find the years split in to a few categories such as the fursuit photoshoot, group photos, etc. that you can browse. In addition we have split the photoshoot pictures up to the days Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday to make it easier to find your photos. Other photos, such as those for convention events, will be added as we process them.
You can still download your photos in all the shiny full resolution by looking for the download links at the top of the full view or by using the ‘Select Photos’ button at the top right. There is also the option to share a link to the photo/s to your favourite social media site. Neat
At this point the search function is currently not working properly, but we will be tagging the photos with names and badge numbers as and when I get this information. Next year we will have this implemented fully.
We would love to hear your feedback about the new gallery, photoshoot and any other areas related to photography at ConFuzzled

We would like to thank everyone who came to the photoshoot and got twisted and bent in all in the crazy ways, without you we would not have had such an awesome photoshoot!

Our new gallery is here –> http://photos.confuzzled.org.uk/

Announcements / 2014 Confuzzled Photoshoot pictures are done

« on: July 11, 2014, 17:52:52 »

Good news, the Confuzzled Photoshoot pictures are done!

First things first though, there are a number of people to thank for all their help with the photoshoot.
First is whole the photo team we have here at Confuzzled, EZWolf, Jason and Kwisa. With out these guys there would be no photoshoot at Confuzzled! These guys help and do everything from the theme down to setting it all up and tare down again, plus this was Jason's first year as photo deputy ^.^ 
Next there is the Confuzzled night club crew, CeilFox, Dave and Alec. Its not easy putting up all our crazy request for sharing that room, like the ground fog and being able to source a new bottle of fog juice when we were close to running out. Also there is hotel and when we asked for a bucket of ice for the ground fog machine that eats ice like there is no tomorrow. I was expecting a little bucket but  what turned up was a huge tub of ice which was awesome.

As you know we went with a complex set using nothing less than ground fog and that awesome red rocket in the background! No puns please

Hope you all enjoy

Confuzzled 2013 Photoshoot pictures are ready!

The photos from the Confuzzled photoshoot are finally ready and can be found on the Confuzzled gallery here -> http://gallery.confuzzled.org.uk/main.php?g2_itemId=47218

This years photos have been quite a challenge with the green screen and getting everything work. Massive thanks to everyone who came up and gave a hand with posing and helping, I would be lost with you guys Big thanks to my other half EZ Wolf for all his hard work in making this happen and for putting up with crazy me. Also special thanks to the guys at FXHome who make the green screen software for upgrading us to the very lasted and greatest version, for free That really did make such a difference as I do think I would be still doing them now.
For next year we have learnt many things from this year, not only from the photoshoot but also the laser shoot and we have some ideas already to make next year even better.

I'm really sorry once again that I did not catch this sooner.

Having clicked through 135 pages of pictures... I think mine are still missing

if you did come to the laser photoshoot, send me a picture of your fursuit and if you can who was in front/behind as it will help me to work out where the pictures may have gone. I will have to look though a lot of photos and backups in a number of places so it might take a little while before I find them or not.

The laser photoshoot pictures are now ready and up on the confuzzled gallery! Enjoy ^.^

http://gallery.confuzzled.org.uk/main.php?g2_itemId=40339

Many thanks should go to Yagfox and the Confuzzled night club team for helping to make this possible. As you might be aware a lot of you turned up to laser photoshoot, which was awesome but did take us by complete surprise to be honest. Last year Yagfox ran a similar event to which only 10 people turned up and this year… well the queue was out the door and down the corridor. We did run in to a few issues with equipment and other things as we were totally unprepared for the number that turned up.

Because this year proved overwhelmingly that you guys do want a laser/special affects photoshoot, we will do our best to do another one next year having learnt the lessons this years and the problems we ran in too (I have tried as best I can to correct all the little problems with the photos hence the long wait)

« on: May 30, 2012, 20:32:00 »

Ok here are some quick previews from the official photoshoot! I could not help but look at a few and show you all what to expect.

These are not the final version and are only a taste of what is to come. There are about 2000+ photos for me to go though and edit so this may take up to 3-4 weeks, but hang on in there trust me they are awesome.  

Just before I show you the pictures....

Feedback / Photoshoot feedback

« on: May 29, 2012, 16:55:49 »

Hi all,

I would love to hear any feedback from you guys about the the official photoshoot this year. Would love to hear what you thought we did well, what we could improve on, if the little poster we put together was helpful... that sort of thing.
There are a few things that I know we need to improve next year, like the signs about where to find us.
About a queuing system, I have thought about implementing such a system but I get the feeling that if I put such a system in place some of you may miss out on getting photos because all the slots are taken, and then if some don't turn up for what ever reason I'm left with a big gap. How ever I am curious to hear what you guys think
Unfortunately only one of the air conditioning units in the room worked, so it did get a bit warm in the room. I will make sure to have the second unit I had on Sunday for both days next year.
The photos should be ready in about 3-4ish weeks depending on how busy I am over the next few weeks and they will be available on the CF gallery.
I can tell you now from looking at the previews on the camera, the photos looks truly awesome!!

Thank you all for coming along to the photoshoot and making it so awesome!
*hugs*
