Cosplay Book - photoshoots available!

By Static. 16/02/10, 01:25 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.

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

SATURDAY (from midday, order TBC)

Seraphik

Neimhaille

Mandie

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

Awesome, thank you! Can't wait! Very Happy

xxxholic group can ttly go on that list! 8D

By Static. 18/02/10, 01:32 pm

LIKE YOU GUYS HAD A CHOICE 8D

By Pyro. 18/02/10, 01:36 pm

I really want photos of my comp. outfit, so sign me up for a Sunday slot? 8D

By DuckehsMinion. 18/02/10, 01:45 pm

I would also be keen, I might bring down an extra outfit if a shoot is too happen
:3

By IcyRose. 18/02/10, 02:36 pm

Meghan and I would be keen for our Tears to Tiara competition cosplays

By **seraphik**. 18/02/10, 02:45 pm

i'd be keen for a shoot on the saturday? 8D

also, i can help cut down costs for you by doing runs from the airport and back...

By Static. 19/02/10, 03:28 am

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**. 19/02/10, 05:57 am

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

By Rocky. 19/02/10, 10:26 am

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. 19/02/10, 11:44 am

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. 19/02/10, 12:07 pm

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

By kmlo2. 23/02/10, 02:49 am

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?

By Static. 23/02/10, 03:13 am

Er...somewhere on George street? Lol, it was the closest to the uni we could find.

By Reiko Arashi. 24/02/10, 03:02 am

I know i am definatley coming, but i'm not cosplaying but i'd love to get a photoshoot done of some of the DCCAS people that'll be with on the day Very Happy

(And anyone else from CNZ that wants to tag along) :3

this is also cause i intereviewed you for the OC website, and want to get a photo done to put on the site :3

By Static. 24/02/10, 03:05 am

If it's not cosplay, I'm gonna have to see how we go for time - this is all getting ready for a cosplay photo book, so unless I have free time, I need to focus on cosplayers...I'm still hoping for an August release, so all the shooting I do at the moment needs to be for the book. x____x Sorry! What's the DCCAS?

By Pyro. 28/02/10, 05:45 am

Could I also grab a shoot on the Saturday afternoon? =D;; -has two costumes she wants pics of-

By Static. 28/02/10, 06:16 am

Done. Also - I have just started a new job, so will have to do some fast talking to get time off for my travel. I will be able to confirm (I hope!) fairly soon!

Dunedin Culture Cosplay Anime Society
I'm not in cosplay that day but anyone who is could be from my g roup or from CSI period lmao, i just wanted to see if we could get like a random group photo seperate from the book per se and we can shoot you like a mass donation or something? Very Happy

if ya got time that day Razz

By Static. 02/03/10, 09:25 am

I'll see how I go for time :)

By Pyro. 02/03/10, 10:08 am

Oops, I just meant I want one shoot on the Saturday. xD;;

I totally phrased my last comment wrong. (I originally thought I'd wear the same cosplay to both the Saturday and the Sunday, but then I decided to make another one... that's what I meant by 'two cosplays'. -headdesk- I'm an idiooot)

By Static. 02/03/10, 10:17 am

Ah! Lol, gotcha - updated!

By Mandie_Chan. 07/04/10, 02:44 am

Hey is there still spots available?
Could I have a spot on Sunday and possibly on sat too?
Many thanks ^_^
