GoldenGreen Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I know quite a lot of people raised this after LFCC and so I wondered what plans were in place to improve this for the Entertainment and Media Show ? This could also be a thread for people to make any suggestions that they think might improve the situation this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 TooTall and Jason have both confirmed that this is being worked on for the next show (which would be EMS) after LFACC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 TooTall and Jason have both confirmed that this is being worked on for the next show (which would be EMS) after LFACC. That's great, it will be good to hear what the changes are. Don't forget no one person has all the answers so I'm sure TooTall and Jason would also want to hear any positive suggestions for improvements as well. Jason often asks for suggestions and thoughts on events and guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steevofromglasgow Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 After LFACC I'd suggested having high boards at the collection area with numbers or info on them as the problem in the past was that people were trying to get to the front of the throng to collect photos while others were trying to get out. In addition, people were trying to collect photos which weren't there or at the other end of the table. At LFACC the throng was 5 or 6 folk deep so it needs to be something high and possibly numbered. I'm thinking of something like what Argos does with different numbered sections. I'd also suggest an information board or 2 somewhere near the entrance or main meeting point which can be updated to let people know which photos are back yet. This will stop folk crowding the collection area when their photos aren't there. If you've been to any of the Theme Parks, then you'll know the kind of thing I mean - it doesn't need times or expected times on it, just a list of photos which are back in the building and which collection point they are at. It might mean some of the crew having to keep the board updated and running backwards and forwards but the benefits would be immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagreus Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 For the regular show attendees, it would be great to have continuity from show to show. For example, the paid for talks having seat numbers, then the next year being a free-for-all, then the next having the rows numbered only. The photo collections have been going for years now, so perhaps keep note of what works and use that as a template for improving upon. Same for bag collection. A lot of the time when something works well, it gets reset and forgotten about by the time the next show comes along. Instead it should be a constant process of improvement.

bobd_uk Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I think it would be useful to have the "big" photo shoots (eg. Tennant) put out away from the others (and clearly signed as such)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktimelord Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 The collection area defintely needs to be bigger and seperate tables for the bigger guests would be welcome. Also sigsn up on the wall showing which shoots are on which tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatrixKiddo88 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 If I wasnt so busy at these events, I had an idea of volunteering to hold up a big 'golf sale' style sign saying who was back so far Thats a pretty simple solution that would work I feel though. With a 'come back in an hour for others' underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisonloub Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 On the first day of LFCC, it was a total shambles on the collection front but Jason soon got this right on the Sunday and it worked very well I thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 If it was bad at LFCC, I can't begin to imagine what it'll be like with Tennant there! The scrum to get the photos on the Saturday was scary and I nearly got crushed by some big guys (I mean seriously, is there no such thing as chivalry anymore guys?!) and I don't want that again!

Kinggodzillak Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 This is the one area of the shows that has never ever worked well in all the years I've been going to them. Even on the day itself its always seemed like a complete afterthought. Would love to think that it's going to get better, but not expecting anything. We're always promised it'll be better but it never is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
