Cosplay Book - photoshoots available!

By Static. 15/02/10, 09:25 pm

SO GUYS. I'm coming to NZAE, and in deference to saving money, I need to know how many people would be keen for a photoshoot!

At this point, I am looking at coming down saturday morning, and arriving at the event around midday. I'd love to shoot people in their comp pieces the next day, but how many people would be willing to go straight from judging to being accosted with a camera by a shouty photographer?

The alternative is coming down friday night, shooting all day saturday AND sunday. But, unless there is a huge amount of interest, I'm not going to pay for an extra night in a motel Razz

PLEASE LET ME KNOW NOW - I would like to sort this out asap, as it's damn expensive to fly to Dunedin. ;___;

===============================

For anyone not familiar with my work, and what all this shooting is for, my portfolio is here: http://photo.little-noise.com . I'm hoping to publish a photographic book of New Zealand cosplayers around August this year, and want to cover as much ground as possible! All my photos go up in low-res form to my gallery at http://gallery.little-noise.com for models to use as they please.

===============================

INTERESTED PARTIES SO FAR:

SATURDAY (from midday, order TBC)
RainbowMoondust - YGO group
RainbowMoondust - Code Geass group
Seraphik
Rocky
Neimhaille
Pyro
Mandie
Riven

I'm keen!

I might be dragging Lennon and Meghan with me as I'm pretty sure we are all cosplaying from Code geass on the saturday. ~~Not that Lennon needs an excuse to camerawhore anyway~~ If the Yu-Gi-Oh! group ends up being on the same day then it looks like I'll be booking two photoshoots! 8D

I'll have to confirm these groups and get back to you. sweatdrop

Lucy: THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. Are you sure, though? Sunday we'll be leaving right as the cosplayers are due to go on stage, so that's def. out, and saturday we arrive at 9.45ish. Edit: actually, I might have that wrong. Flight is at 6something, so maybe I could take you up on that offer? Time would be short, though! If it's too much hassle, don' worry!

...at least, that's the plan. The other option is to stay sunday night and come back monday am (flight would be 7am) but that's a whole new hassle. We've booked accomodation saturday night, so it's likely we won't stay too long in Dunners.

~~UPDATING FIRST POST NOW!~~ UPDATED!

By **seraphik**. 18/02/10, 01:57 pm

you really need to leave the city to go to the airport at least an hour and a half before your flight, it takes anywhere between 30-40 minutes to drive out there and then there's the checkin times. BUT UH I'LL EMAIL YOU and can def pick you up on the sat

Chuck me down as interested for a photoshoot on both days. I'm not too sure which cosplay I'm doing in which day yet, or even if I'm actually going to do the cosplays I have planned, so, yeah Very Happy

By neimhaille. 18/02/10, 07:44 pm

I'd be interested for either day :) Ah, it'll be nice to see my home town after about, err, 18 years since the last visit. Wow. Yeah, 18 years.

By Static. 18/02/10, 08:07 pm

Neimhaille - I'll put you in saturday, I imagine sunday will be pretty hectic for you with the comp going on! :)

Aww you booked accommodation already?? How many people are coming with you? If it was just you I could've offered you a spot in my flat... though it would be kinda uncomfy come to think of it... >.> Which hotel are you staying at?
