    Thank you from crew to attendees

    in London Film and Comic Con 2013

    Posted

    I'd like to do a one big thank you to all the attendees who put comments up about me (Liza, was David Hasslehoffs cash Friday Prev, Jennifer Calverts guest assistant on Saturday and Photo A on Sunday.) Its so nice to get so many lovely comments and with regards to Photo A on Sunday, the management of the queues could only go smoothly with your help and the day went by without any major incidents or complaints made to me. You joined in the silliness and I can only hope I made it as fun for you guys as it was for me. Thanks to those who tried to cool me down, to all those who didn't mind when I had late "Bling" (Gold Passes), or for letting me slip in those who had clashes with talk/photos and so on. You were all just fantastic and I hope to see you all at future events!!

    Having had a few days to digest here's my feedback...

     

    Overall, as always, a joyful weekend, by and large run well and the guests were pretty much all great, however there are a few little areas that need looking at in my opinion.

     

    Photoshoots - I agree with most of the posts regarding the differences in quality of the photos between the 3 shoot areas, whether this is down to the photographers or the print settings I'm not qualified to say but I had 3 shoots on Sunday, 1 in each shoot area and my purple T-shirt looks black in C, dark purple in B and lighter purple in A!

    Also, the queues for photoshoots really need to be manned by people with a bit of gusto! I only had Sunday shoots but at none of them were we called by number and only the lady on Area A sorting out the queues amalgamating for Sylvester, Catrin, Eve and Norman was making her presence felt and shouting instructions.

    Finally regarding photoshoots, 5 minutes between shoots is not long enough. OK, if only 10 people want a shoot you can probably get away with it but it only takes the smallest delay and it throws the whole schedule out (like on Sunday).

     

    That would have been me shouting and in the Eve queue getting a group of people to shout for me as I got a little confused between the Eve and Norman as Norman queue had tagged on the end! I must admit I didn't call by number (only calling out for Gold first and then everyone else) as ether the queues where small enough that no one was really missing out or in the case of Norman there was 2 queues and because I didn't want people who had queued for a while and miss out, plus not knowing which side had started first, I took a little from each side and it ended up being the largest but fasted queue of the day! But only possible because you guys listened, asked questions if unsure and were just fantastic.

    Who Was That Crew Member?

    in London Film and Comic Con 2013

    I thought the blonde woman managing the queue in photo area A on Sunday was very good (I didn't catch her name) - I arrived for an Eve Myles photo and the area was running behind, but she kept everyone informed as to what was happening, kept the queue area organised, and continually had a smile and was in a good mood. It could have been so easy in that situation to be grumpy or let the area fall into chaos, but she did a fantastic job at keeping it orderly and the wait happy, not tedious - which of course meant even though things were running late and I was worried about getting to my next shoot, I didn't get disgruntled, and the people around me all seemed in good spirits too even though we had to wait longer than we thought we would. So definitely a massive congrats to her for being so positive and good at what she was doing!

     

    That would be Lisa. She's on the Forums somewhere, I'm sure she'll see this!

     

    I think that might be the same person who was managing the chaos around the Max Grodenchik / Salome Jens / Andrew Robinson shoots which all came in quick succession and then the Alexander Siddig reschedule. Thought her badge said Liza but could be wrong.

     

    Kept the groups waiting for each person well organised and separated, answered all queries quickly, got everyone quickly into position when it was time and by doing so just made sure it all went rather well.

     

    I'm well experienced in these events and have almost never had an issue with the crew and recognise most by now and even know a few to chat to but while I feel bad picking out just one when so many did a good job, she stood out for me as things could easily have got chaotic and out of hand around that time with so much going on.

    Again thank you as well, couldn't have done it without you guys helping out, go team work!

    I didn't encounter a bad crew member the whole weekend. I made a point of going to the info desk when I left on Sunday to thank the crew there and let them know I'd had a great time and that everyone had been helpful, and to thank them for their time - I figured far more people would go there to complain about something, and I wanted to pass on thanks for my good experiences.

    Thank you so much! My names Liza and that was before the end of the day when I started to flag a bit so less of the jumping about. But I really enjoyed it and you guys were all so great in joining in the silliness and being so patient when things took a bit longer. Again thank you for the kind comment hope to see you at the next one! :)

    Kinda works both ways, I'm asthmatic but I have friends that smoke I make sure I stand up wind of them so its not blowing in my face and they make sure not to breath it in my face. If everyones considerate to each other then there wouldn't be too much of a problem, also I found as a crew member, ask people, no one will bite, I asked a 4 lovely guys if they minded holding someones place in the queue so they could go and do something and they said it was fine.

    Photoshoot Area A

    in London Film and Comic Con 2013

    Around that time there were a few shoots going on one after the other very quickly and the girl organising the queues did a brilliant job of keeping everyone in the right place even if things did then change but at least they were very clear and decisive about what was happening even if it upset some.

    Thank you! It was team work you guys and us in the photo area!

    Thanks to all crew

    The Doctor Who ex is £15 per adult. I would recommend as it's down the bay and lovely also for Torchwood and Who fans the sandy coloured building just before the experience was used for filming in both shows, was Jacks homestead and also used in the Run away bride plus its a really nice bar/restaurant.
