Wrong Name Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I managed to get 7 done in a day last year with no problems at all and I know there are people on here who go into double figures a day. Actually having the photo taken is very quick (we are talking about seconds for each person) so your only concern is if photo shoots clash. If this happens then you need to work out which shoot is best to go to first (this depends on start times and length of shoot) and speak to a member of the crew who will rush you through as quickly as possible so you can make the next one. Tickets for photos are sold on the day, unless they sell out before the show. Also the queues to buy them are usually quite long so I advise buying in advance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicAvatar Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Only 5? No problem. Really. If you have a clash, the crew will help you, but if not, it'll be a breeze. These things go FAST. If you'd booked more than 14 in one day I'd be a little concerned! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppy Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 As for people laughing at you for going, seriously don't even think about it. I've met 2 of my closest friends and alot of other friends that I would never have been lucky enough to meet without going to these events. You will really enjoy it honestly :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubby Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 it would be great to meet new friends as since I left London and moved to Bournemouth ive not really met any, and as im far from a big drinker and spend my free time either with the kids or watching films and 80's tv shows its hard to meet any with the same interests lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicAvatar Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 You have an opportunity to take away some amazing memories. Just plan what you need to do and you'll have a great time. I look at my photos on a daily basis and just shake my head with amazement at all the fabulous guests I've been able to meet. I hope you have a wonderful time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyfilm_1 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 This event is the first time I've booked many of them for one day (i.e 7 for the Friday). But I'm not concerned as I've been to 4 SM events now and the photoshoots go really quickly and smoothly. Plenty of time spare to run to the next shoot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I've done 13 photo's in a day along with 16 autos and still had time to throw in some talks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrvega Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) You'll be fine with photoshhoot, it gets a bit tricky if you're looking at mixing photoshoots schedule and queuing for autographs, especially if you're looking to get your pic from the photoshoot signed.... I personnaly have one item signed and the pic with the guest signed and personalised as well. But I'm more pics oriented, autographs is a plus, so far not a huge year for me in terms of how many guests I'll meet, MJ Fox and Christopher Lloyd so far, huge year in terms of guests.... And they'll be a few more by July. Photoshoot at a LFCC are extremely well organised, I remember when I first attended, you at to wait and come back later in the day and try to find your picture on huge tables with everyone else's picture displayed, nowadays it's awesome you meet the guest, a few second later, your pic is printed and handed over to you.... Always nice to bring a folder or something to protect them, or you can also buy them at the show... If you should decide to get something signed virtual queuing is awesome, just make you're way as soon as possible to the signing area to get your ticket, and come back later, my first year I didn't know this, it was when Christopher Lloyd came for his first appearance, I got a high number and got my autographs by the end of the day, many didn't get an autograph at all.
