    Everyone's Comic Con Plans

    in General chat

    Posted

    Hi guys!

     

    In case you don't already know - this is my first Con, and I'm really excited :)

     

    Really interested to see what all of your plans are for the event - who you're meeting, what talks you're attending, where you're planning on going etc.

     

    And hopefully, I'll see some of you around ;)

    Meeting Jenna at a photo session

    in London Film and Comic Con 2014

    Posted

    Having been to loads of cons, the photo sessions are always just click and go, click and go. There's no time to talk to the person other than a quick "hello" and shake hands perhaps. Your best bet would be to ask for a hugging pose in your photo as most guest are perfectly fine with that sort of thing. If you have the nerve you could asked for a photo of her kissing (or pretending to kiss) you on the cheek.

    I know the particular guest can be very different on how they like to pose with people. I guess I could ask - I'll probably ask a crew member beforehand, just to make sure I don't cause any offence to Jenna by asking for a hug. Big fan, really love her to bits, and wouldn't want to annoy her.

    I'd watch the people in front if you to see how it's going most guests will happily hug people but they are people too and how do I put it are not objects. Some feel uncomfortable with people being over familiar.

    Heard this many times before. Sorry if I'm just regurgitating a similar question that's already been posted. Thanks :)

    Photo sessions are not the place for extended interaction with the guest. It's very much step in, smile, click, out you go. Usually there's a hello and thank you, some shake hands etc and as has been said, guests are sometimes fine with a hug pose or various other things, some aren't. Usually you'll be advised by a crew member when queuing up if there's any particular restrictions as some don't like being touched at all and that's fine if it makes them uncomfortable or whatever.

     

    Looking at the 828 photos from last time she was at an event in the photo store, there's no poses like that though. It's all just the usual hand on shoulder or stood back to back type normal pose, so I maybe wouldn't expect anything like what you want from her but watch the people in the queue in front of you too to get an idea of what she's happy doing too.

    I understand this all. Thanks. I know that sometimes guests can feel uncomfortable, and I know I need to be sensitive. Sometimes, considering this is my first Con, I forgot that these people are real people.

    Just another quick question.

     

    I've bought a photo session with Jenna for the Saturday, and I'm really looking forward to meeting her :) I kinda have a very big thing for her ;) and was wondering if anyone think it'd be acceptable just after the photo's taken - or before, depending - if it's okay to ask to grab a hug or at a big push a kiss on the cheek?

     

    I know some guests can be different then others, and I'd rather hear it from someone who's met Jenna before.

    Join the countdown...

    Well luckily, I'm kinda organised. I have my tickets and my Jenna photoshoot sorted out.

     

    However, being only fourteen, I'm juggling my paper round, extra work, jobs for others, begging and stealing to try get enough money for all the other talks and photoshoots I want to attend.

     

    It's being quite problematic :) Just used the last of my money so far on meeting Jenna. But that is going to be worth it so bad...I have a real bad crush on her, think she'll mind if I ask for a hug or a kiss on the cheek at the end?? :D

    Film Premieres

    I recently went to The Amazing Spider Man 2 premiere. Points to anyone who saw me down there or on the Yahoo stream ;)

     

    I went a bit later, about an hour before anything actually started, cause dad didn't fancy waiting hours outside - and that's just him, not me. I would have loved to.

     

    I ended up right by the path where all the ticketed guests come down. So, for major stars, I didn't get to see a lot for the ignorant security guys who just stood in the way. However, I did meet 4 Eastenders characters including Rob, Tamwar, and Johnny, Joe Sugg, Conor Maynard and several faces from Youtube, TV, and radio.

     

    I was lucky enough that Andrew Garfield ran up to our little section and high fived me when I stuck my hand out, and also autographed my book :)

    Sending Letters/Things to be autographs

    in London Film and Comic Con 2014

    Posted · Edited by Shayson14

    Hi again guys.

     

    Thanks for all the positive feedback on my last thread. I'm booking my session with Jenna, and I really can't wait to see you all down in July!

     

    Now another question. I have some limited edition art cards which I'd like to have signed by Paul and Colin. Unfortunately, I can't make it on the day Colin is going, and don't just want to send it to his fanmail address for fear I'll never see it again.

     

    I just wondered is it free to send a item to be signed on another day during the event? Or would anyone be so kind if I could pass on my art cards to them whilst they're waiting in the queue just to pass over in a envelope from me, with a return address? I just want to make sure I can get them back, not just send to their fanmail address and never receive them.

     

    EDIT: I want to just give a letter to a crew member to pass on as well, perhaps with the artcards and a return address? Is that okay?

    Choosing Photo Sessions/Autographs

    Okay guys, we're just at the point the whole thread derailed last time. So I am going to put on the mod cap and step in now.

     

    thewizard, I realize that you have a different opinion about the whole signature thing than the large majority of the users on the forum. This is okay, we do not expect everyone to agree. However, please respect other opinions. You basically tell other people their opinion is wrong.

     

    Signatures and a meet are normally a combination for these events. On which part you put the emphasis: your decision.

     

    But expecting the meet part without paying for the signature for an extremely popular guest like Jenna is just asking for trouble. You're saying yourself "If she goes open queue." Chances for that are very slim at best. Meeting Jenna by just walking up to her was impossible last time due to demand, and this event is even larger than the last one she was at. I hope for the OP's sake you are correct. I really do. But please respect what the others are trying to do. The other people who have posted are being realistic and are trying to keep a new attendee from being disappointed.

    Thank you everyone who has posted anything at all, sorry if I offended anyone by 'expecting too much'. I know exactly what I'm going to do now, and I hope I can see you all there :)
