    Photoshoots & Plexiglass

    in London Film & Comic Con 2021

    Posted

    In case anyone missed the website announcement:

    Quote

    We will not be using screen dividers during our shoots but we ask you to be respectful of contact while having your photo taken. Those who choose to wear a mask should do so right up to the point that the photo occurs. After your photo shoot has finished you can reapply your mask. Should a guest require any alteration this policy we reserve the right to change our setup per an individual guest request, so they feel comfortable with the process but screens are not part of our planned setup for the photo areas.

    Thanks to everyone for giving their opinions/updates, guess we'll just have to wait and see. Fingers crossed for no plexiglass--I feel like if we're at the stage where we need that, we shouldn't be having the con at all. Just a personal opinion though, I'm sure others would disagree, and the guests have the right to feel safe after all.

    Guest Experiences From The Weekend

    in London Film & Comic Con 2019

    Posted

    Here's my experiences:

    Billy Dee Williams: I wasn't expecting much from him as he's 82(!) and I met him late today, around 4 PM. By that time, I was fairly exhausted, so I can't imagine how he must have been feeling! But he was polite and smiling, and looked up during the signing and wished me a good day, so that was sweet of him. 

    Lourdes Faberes: She was so sweet! We talked for a while about Good Omens, and she let me take some extra photographs with me, too! She also informed me of all of the other Good Omens guests who were there, just in case I'd missed any. 

    Jamie Hill: Met him today and we talked for ages about Good Omens and his role in it, as well as Doctor Who and some other things. Very kind guest--would definitely recommend chatting to if you like Good Omens/Dr Who, he's very happy to chat and is super sweet :) 

    As always, comics people were fantastic, with some highlights being Ian Richardson and Mark Buckingham. Was great to see some independent artists in attendance too--would love more of these next year! I got a few commissions and would have got more if time had permitted! 

    Overall I had a lot of fun and all of the SM staff were very helpful :D

    Like someone already said before; Everyone wants Sean Bean to attend, except Sean Bean :D but he's one of my dream guests too....

    Lol true! Bless him, I must imagine it's pretty exhausting for them. But still, one can dream, haha.

    Diamond Pass Information

    in London Film & Comic Con 2016

    Posted

     

    Quick question: are we getting postage costs refunded? Assuming they were built into the price of the Pass, thanks.

     

    No, because there is nothing to refund as Raylenth says. In the old store there was a postage fee (which under those circumstances would of course have been refunded), but the only thing that was charged now is the 1 pound fee which is due in any case.

     

     

    Cool, thanks for your quick response!

    Autographs with Diamond Passes

    in London Film & Comic Con 2016

    Guys, you really panic way too easy.

     

    I put like 20 advance warning to my post. I don't know how much More I can do.

     

    Raylenth has already summed everything up kindly. The Main reason I put this warning was because people seem to be expecting to go through exactly when they want to. But a guest can only sign so and so much autographs a day. As autographs are done in number order a guest may not be seeing the higher numbered Diamond Passes the first day if they signing slow.

     

    Does this make sense to everyone?

     

    Thanks for clarifying but I wasn't panicking, I was just asking for some clarification as the information given seemed to be different than from what was on the ticket, i.e. the "autos can be got on any days" line.

     

    Hi Icena, where does it give you the slightly different information? Is it on your ticket that Eventbrite sent you? Can you copy and paste the relevant bit here so that we can see what it says?

     

     

    Yeah, it's just on the Eventbrite site, on the part where you selected your photo day:

     

    "Please select the day you want your included photo shoot(s): This day selection is ONLY for your included photo shoot(s). Autograph can be got on any day the guest attends. Talk(s) are on the day(s) in the pass description."

    Hi,

     

    Sorry but there's been a couple of posts on this and I'm honestly still confused by it. I have a Diamond Pass for Mads and am only attending on the Sunday. I thought this would be fine (as on the ticket it states "Autograph can be got on any day the guest attends.") but now I'm hearing that we might possibly be assigned a day for autographs? Sorry I'm sure I'm just confused and reading things wrong but I'd really like some clarification, thanks :)

     

    Where you hearing it?

     

     

    On the Jeremy Renner announcement thread, unless I'm reading it wrong.

    Question about meeting Comic guests

    in London Film & Comic Con 2016

    Posted

    Comic guests do not operate on a VQ system as often there are 3-4 people in a queue at most for comic guests. If you're wanting autographs, these are *usually* free but I know for example that Rich Buckler charges, so maybe do a quick online search for any guests' prices beforehand! Also if you want a commission, your best bet is to see if artists take pre-commissions, where you e-mail them and they complete the artwork at home for you to pick up at the con. If they don't do pre-commissions, they'll probably only get the chance to do a handful of sketches during the day, so make any comic artists a priority when you get through the doors so that you can get on their sketch lists!
