bfsfreakaof Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 even though the white back ground is prettier i've preferred the blue back ground, maybe it's because it matched my clothes? I have horrid skin anyway, but my face looks like even blotchier in the white pictures, maybe i didn't do my make up right but eh.... i just seem to look stoned in the white pictures for some reason... or maybe i'm just dead tired... but either way, i've preferred the blue back ground lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilightmum49 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 i liked the new photographer of the blue background room better than the lady at the other ET event though cause i never got a nice photo when she was taking them. I totally agree this new photographer is better but the blue background sucks - always has. Ive been suggesting... getting another twi-background since ET2!!! It does make the photo's look much better, and I don't know anyone who wouldn't prefer all the photo's with that background! - J x Yes this issue about the blue background has been going on for such a long time and we pay a lot a money for these photos - just a plain white background would be better than the blue - I've got a spare kingsize sheet they can borrow - also please can the photographer take the picture a bit closer please - this issue has come up before but nothing is ever done about it. As ET5 will be my sixth Twi-Con (including the Prom) and as said above we have been asking for the background to be changed since ET2 surely this can be sorted out and changed please.

gillianre Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Yep, the blue background is bad - 'specially as i'm so pale it does make me look washy. SM will sort it out - won't you? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowmarlin Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 What about making digital copies available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucretiaCullen Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 What about making digital copies available? I second this and I also think emailing or posting the pictures out after the show would avoid so much hassle with photo collection and also people having to wait around who may have otherwise left early for whatever reason. As I said before, this could perhaps easily be arranged - calling people in a certain order, maybe by ticket number, that way you would know where to send the pictures too.

ghostlydreamer Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 What they did at the end when all the photos were out was form a line that moved along the tables in one direction so you got to see all the photos. It was a great idea and it worked. Though obviously it only works when all the photos are out :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators etmuse Posted October 26, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) I don't know for sure if they offer the service at the ME cons, but I do know at the big signing events SM give the option of having photoshoot photos posted out to you. You fill in a form with name/address, guest name(s) and a description of yourself and for £2 (p&p) they post them to you. Having worked on photo distribution at the signing events, I can tell you that trying to match photos to ticket numbers any other way just isn't really feasible - the printers don't always even print all the photos in the order they were taken. At at least one event - I think it was Hub3 - the photoshoot distribution staff refused to let anyone crowd in to pick up photos until they were all out, and then did impose a queue to walk along the rows of tables and look. If photos come back a bit later then obviously this isn't ideal, but it worked well at the time. Edited October 26, 2010 by etmuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a small pile of those forms sitting on the counter (a clock room, possibly, it was right next to the ramp) opposite the room where Photo Session A (I think) was taking place on the Sunday morning. They looked abandoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Wow, I've never heard anyone complain like this about the background before!! Blue is the standard for most of the cons I've been to, and pretty much all SM/ME shows- as someone said, the white is only available as it was from a premiere or something. Be grateful you have something unique in your photos as no fans of any other shows get anything like that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanggirl Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I'm not a fan of the Twilight background. I'd like all my photoshoots to look the same no matter what con they're from. Plus, the reason I was so excited to meet Jamie CB was because of his role in Sweeney Todd.... not for his bitpart in New Moon, so I really didn't want that backdrop.

xkleex Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Cant say im too bothered about the backgrounds tbh lol like someone else said, if u like a guest for other films, tv shows etc isnt it nice to have the blue instead of the twilight one?? Also LOVE the new young guy taking the photos in the B shoots, Charlie actually refered to him as Malcoms apprentice lol His pictures are by far my fave from this con......maybe giving malcom a run for his money??? haha. Alot better then the women who did them previously, i hope this guy is a perminate, and he is at et5 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa090982 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Everyones entitled to their own opinions... I prefer the twilight background because its white - the picture quality is actually better I'd rather have a plain white background than twilight/blue background if push came to shove...... Blue really does wash us pale people out a fair bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be grateful you have something unique in your photos as no fans of any other shows get anything like that!! 1)Ive only ever had Blue backgrounds from SM events 2)Its a dated background... most proffesional backgrounds are plain/white these days! 3)No one is saying the background has to have Twilight written all over it. could be a white table cloth for all i care 4)No one has been ungrateful this is a FEEDBACK THREAD!! I'm not a fan of the Twilight background. I'd like all my photoshoots to look the same no matter what con they're from. Plus, the reason I was so excited to meet Jamie CB was because of his role in Sweeney Todd.... not for his bitpart in New Moon, so I really didn't want that backdrop. Im the opposite i wouldnt want all mine looking the same. And it is a Twilight con... so i guess thats why the writing doesnt bug me. But i can see how you would prefer them all to look the same if you go to more shows and stuff! :) Edited October 26, 2010 by BeckiUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is - starts off lightish red, and goes into the middle a deep red/black kind of colour - which incidently is the colour of my hair, so in some of the pictures, you can barely make out where the hair finishes and the background starts!!
