Author Topic: Fullmetal Alchemist Group Photo Day? (Read 9986 times)

I thought this would help clear up some confusion and hopefully we can come to a nice agreement... I hope so.

If you would be so kind to post why you chose that day that would be cool and would help this thread going for all the FMA cosplayers to see. Feel free to put whom your cosplaying too if you want.

My Reason:
I'm fine with either day one or two. I have little faith in my day three transportation, so I'd rather not.

~A Winry Cosplayer.
Whoop!

Since the method I'm using for my Ouroboros tattoo will no doubt carry through the weekend, I don't want to ruin my other cosplay. I'm really looking forward to group photos so, here's hoping :3

State Alchemist · « **Reply #2 on:** August 10, 2006, 11:04:27 am »

@PinqFuu:

Yeah, I could see where that would be a problem. Well, hopefully this will work its self out.

I'm hoping for day one since day two is the day the Bleach photoshoot is aiming for. If the time of the FMA shoot doesn't interfere with Bleach on day 2 then I am fine to change back into my FMA costume. Day 3 for me is not good.

Summary:
Day one: Yes, my vote
Day two: Okay if it doesn't conflict with Bleach photoshoot
Day three: No

I will be going as Mei Chan from the manga.

State Alchemist · « **Reply #4 on:** August 10, 2006, 12:05:10 pm »

Well, it's nice to know that so far day two is do-able... I'm thinking about a week before the con, we come up with an official time and date. People make sure you're ready. ^_^

What time will the Bleach one be at?

So far it looks like 1pm for the Bleach shoot on the second day of the con.

11 AM would be nice. I want to have breakfast, then I'll get ready. The earlier we take photos the fresher we all look and then we can all run around and get funky.

State Alchemist · « **Reply #8 on:** August 10, 2006, 10:01:29 pm »

Yeah, before noon would be nice. Maybe 11:30.

Panda · « **Reply #9 on:** August 11, 2006, 10:39:52 am »

I would prefer earlier if we go with the second day. 11 at the latest. With my experience with group photoshoots they take a long time to get organized (gathering people, finding a place to take pictures, getting people into groups for pictures..etc...) and this is especially the case with a larger group.

Both my costumes take some time to get in/out of so if the time is too close to the Bleach shoot I'm going to have to skip out on the FMA photoshoot.

On a separate note: Has anyone been to the Red Lion to scope out good places for group pictures?

State Alchemist · « **Reply #10 on:** August 11, 2006, 11:14:52 am »

I've only seen some of the inside. I don't know what's around it. It would be great if someone would find a nice spot. ^_^

@Panda:
I'm sure 11 by the latest is fine. ^_^

Trumby · « **Reply #11 on:** August 13, 2006, 09:39:41 pm »

Well I'm wearing my Greed on Monday so I suppose I could change into Greed depending on the time it's made.

ambergen87 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 16, 2006, 03:29:09 pm »

Sunday at 11am is perfect for me.

Let's find a place as well. I've been there multiple times, so just say where.

AzuKyo · « **Reply #13 on:** August 16, 2006, 04:16:01 pm »

If my memory serves me right, there is an awesome park right next to the Red Lion (the Red Lion is the old Double Tree right?) and that park was a hot place last year for cosplayers.

11am sounds great.

*must finish Greed costume* :twisted:

That's a different Red Lion. The one this year is by Jantzen beach.

PinqFuu · « **Reply #15 on:** August 17, 2006, 11:01:52 am »

so does anyone know of any good places where we should take pictures? I'm coming from seattle, so I haven't the slightest.

Trumby · « **Reply #16 on:** August 17, 2006, 04:17:46 pm »

From the last meeting that was up there..I haven't seen a whole lot of good places for pictures (though I didn't look for any either), except outside along the river bank or on that dock they have.

At the meeting on the 27th I'll scout out places if a place hasn't been picked by then.

Would it be too much of me to ask of you could take pictures so people who havn't been there know where a good place would be? *cough me cough*

Well, so far it's lookin' like day two! Thank goodness... I had major fears of it being day three.

Man, I'm, so excited. I can't wait to meet you all. ^_^

PinqFuu · « **Reply #18 on:** August 21, 2006, 03:38:45 pm »

looks like we're leaning towards Sunday. Those who object, vote now or forever hold your peace! Little under 2 weeks left for the convention!

Aurora · « **Reply #19 on:** August 22, 2006, 09:22:20 pm »

So did we make a decision on which day is the photoshoot? I think I will be able to go as Hawkeye, mini skirt version :wink:

seems like Sunday

State Alchemist · « **Reply #21 on:** August 25, 2006, 06:28:10 pm »

It's really leaning to Sunday. So, from what I've gathered it will be most likely...:

Sunday at 11:00am

Is there any objections?

BlitzAceTidus · « **Reply #22 on:** August 25, 2006, 06:45:54 pm »

I made a thread about photo gatherings! You can go and work this out there! Theres also no problem with having a FMA gathering on both days! 2 gatherings is fine!

Trumby · « **Reply #23 on:** August 25, 2006, 06:47:52 pm »

Sunday at 11:00am is the Piano Squall concert (seating starts at 10:30) so I'm out for that one.

Sunday at 9:30am or 10:00am works for me. Or 12:30pm, 1:00pm, 1:30pm. (2 is the cosplay rehearsal and I assume some of you will be doing skits).

I'm really only trying to schedule around the big events..so it looks like if we do it Sunday, it'd have to be at one of those times listed above, or during the cosplay rehearsal.

As for where, let's say outside the front doors (the main lobby is going to be crowded and isn't all that big).

Still going to look for a photoshoot place on Sunday when I head over.

YESS!!! I refuse to miss that man's concert. So, unless it's later or eariler, I'll bail out to go to the concert.

Sorry, I just found out that his concert is at 11.

Panda · « **Reply #25 on:** August 25, 2006, 08:19:39 pm »

I know over in the Bleach thread for a while the time discussion has been 1pm on Sunday so I will have to skip out if FMA and Bleach are at the same time or too close together. Both my costumes take too long to get into if they are only a short time apart.

Plus, no one likes/knows the manga only characters anyway so it's not like I'll be missed. :cry:

PinqFuu · « **Reply #26 on:** August 25, 2006, 08:23:21 pm »

Okay what about saturday, it turns out I won't have my other costume done, so either day is fine with me now, but it seems people are now bailing. I wanna take pictures with you all ARGH!! XB

Panda · « **Reply #27 on:** August 25, 2006, 08:26:25 pm »

I would totally love Saturday afternoon but I don't want to be selfish and try to get everyone to mold their schedules just so I can get pictures. I will be in my Mei Chan costume Saturday afternoon so I'm all for pictures then.

Trumby · « **Reply #28 on:** August 25, 2006, 10:20:48 pm »

So either early Sunday or..by looking at the schedule, late (5-ish) Saturday.

We can't do noon on Saturday because of the Ninja of the Night (and I can only assume they'll all be in their Naruto gear for that

) panel. I know they have at least 2 FMA cosplayers in their group, I forget if they have any others than Ed and Roze.

How is 5:00 to 5:30 on Saturday? It doesn't interfere with anything except the AMV show (which I assume is just a bunch of random AMV's showing), open mic karaoke, the fanfic crossover contest (couldn't tell you what that is), Hello Kitty with Tiffany Grant (so a Tiffany Grant panel) and the MPS (Mechanized Propulsion Systems, they are building the worlds first anime style mech. As in a real one, it's really cool, I went to one at '05 and one at Sakura-con this year, pretty interesting stuff) panel.

Or we could do 2:00 on Saturday, it doesn't seem to interfere with a whole lot.

OR how about we do one of those two ^^^^ AND one at 10:00am Sunday?

Those three times seem like they interfere with the least amount of stuff.

I don't really mind changing out of my Chloe costume to for Greed, but out of those three times I'd personally prefer the 10:00am one so I can just wake up, wear Greed, then change into Chloe if I feel like it.

Trumby · « **Reply #29 on:** August 26, 2006, 12:41:32 pm »

Double postage.

I'm going to post 2:00PM Saturday and 10:00AM Sunday (yeah, if you want to go to that one you have to get up early!) in the thread Blitz made. If either of those times don't work for anyone, post in that thread.

Panda · « **Reply #30 on:** August 26, 2006, 06:58:18 pm »

2 on Saturday sounds good to me. I should be able to make it! ^_^

PinqFuu · « **Reply #31 on:** August 27, 2006, 04:49:00 am »

2 PM on Saturday is fine with me

Trumby · « **Reply #32 on:** August 27, 2006, 06:13:07 pm »

Alright, after scouting the hotel, photoshoot places are..more or less not there.

You've got:

The general waterfront
The dock
The tennis court

And that's about it, unless you were to just do random photoshoots in other places outside.

*edit*

Guess I should post the pictures I took (warning, they aren't resized so they are big):

Dock:

Courts:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/Trumby/DSCF0015.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/Trumby/DSCF0016.jpg

The courts will offer a nice enough spot, as long as you can keep most of the hotel out of the shot

Or if you were to just take a picture in the open space facing the river.

I'm liking the Dock

ambergen87 · « **Reply #34 on:** August 27, 2006, 07:32:20 pm »

I like the dock as well.

2pm on Saturday *humms* I'll have to change into Izumi. I was going to be Izumi all day Sunday. I still will dress up it's just... I don't like changing in the middle of the day. If Saturday is what works well for everyone then I change.

Panda · « **Reply #35 on:** August 27, 2006, 07:56:16 pm »

I'm for either the dock area or that grassy area near the courts so the river is in the background.

Thanks for scouting things out Trumby, you rock.

Trumby · « **Reply #36 on:** August 27, 2006, 09:13:41 pm »

I figured most people would like the dock area

No problem with the scouting! I wore my Greed to the meeting today so I'm sure people were weirded out with me walking around the hotel taking pictures of random stuff <.<

I think us yojimbo are going to have a fun time with people trying to take pictures in the halls though <.<

State Alchemist · « **Reply #37 on:** August 28, 2006, 12:14:08 am »

I agree. The dock looks perfect.

Shiv · « **Reply #38 on:** August 28, 2006, 03:22:36 am »

After going to the meeting and seeing things for myself (and discussing this with Trumby while there, heh) I definately agree that the best place for a group photo'd be the dock area. There really aren't too many other good locations for photo opportunities.
