dodge15 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 There seems to be a bit of confusion with batches today, I have had about 6 photoshoots and each time the queueing doesn't involve batches... For example Edge and Christian duo shot, it was a huge crowd and when asking crew which batches they were calling they said "all of them". Same with Gemma Whelan now, were standing behind about 200 people with a Batch 1 photoshoot, and we're going to be last in because it's now first come first served. Has this officially changed now or is this not meant to happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen_Sindel Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 All batches being called would just apply if you arrive at the end of the shoot. Once a batch has been called it's indeed first come first served. I'm not entirely sure I am understanding the Gemma situation correct. Was this a problem at a specific area? I need to be as specific as possible when I forward such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at John Rhys-Davies shoot before it started. We were called forward as a lump not in batches. (My ticket was B3, so I was expecting to have to wait a little while, but had no where else to be at that point in time) This was at Photo D this morning (10:20 ish shoot I think... feels like DAYS ago) Edited July 29, 2017 by fissijo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That information helps a lot. Guest and area will do, but adding the time is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge15 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hi QS, sorry I'll clarify the Gemma situation, basically I had a Batch 1 ticket but the person running the shoot wasnt calling batches, just putting whoever was nearest to him into the queue lines. In the above quoted situations I arrived at every photoshoot today at the beginning of the session, early in most cases Edge and Christian was the morning session at Photo C, Gemma's was the PM session at photo F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairemellisa Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 My mum was at Bernard Cribbins at 11:05 also in photo area D. Like above all were called together, no queue lines until a pit boss realised and organised it. She did mention this at the info desk however as this has been mentioned on here thought I would add to discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Thank you Claire and thank you dodge. I have forwarded this and it should hopefully not happen again tomorrow. It helps me a lot if the areas and the shoots are named. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobbin11 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 It's been a bit hit and miss with batches at the shoots. Some where excellent, Chris Judge and Kevin Smith AM shoot and Benedict Cumberbums shoot. Others where poor, Matt Lucas PM was particularly bad.

It was just one big bundle. The poor lady in the blue shirt really did try her best but I think the crowd may have just intimidated her. Certainly the backing of a red shirt would have been very helpful on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartDT Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) None of photo shoots were in Area D and all went smoothly with batches being called may just be an isolated misunderstanding in that area. Edited July 29, 2017 by HeartDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did feel sorry for the "blue shirt" as she needed help from someone during the Matt Lucas shoot but I felt she handled well considering some of the grief she was getting. Why can't people just stand outside the queueing areas...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyfilm_1 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I do feel that the photoshoot booths need more than one person manning the queue. They have plenty of crew inside but really need more outside. But I know this all down to how many volunteers SM have. They all did a terrific job though! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
