As the title says: who wants Resident Evil to have an official photoshoot next year?
Lets face it, for those of us who were there Friday and Saturday, it was hectic! Word of mouth was the only way we could get anybody to know about it (we did have a NICE turnout, but it had to be relocated due to IRT powertrips).
For simplicity and well... more simplicity, would it be possible to attract the attention of the Acen staff to listen to our plight?

[TENIME_art]

God, those effing IRTs...

There was a great turnout (my buddy was RE:2 Leon), but I didn't enjoy running out into the rain in my white tabi boots.

I'm really wanting to do Hunk sometime in the future, so if having an "official" photoshoot gets even more people involved, I'm all for it!

[R1KKu]

Yes, Please!!! Still, we had a good turnout. Wish I couldve made it to the Saturday shoot, but I was in the masq. In very uncomfortable shoes, and putting on Ada wouldnt have helped.

Im sorry, my gun just looks ghey without its clip.

Yeah, I'm pissed IRT didn't put that in the rules and regulations WEEKS before the convention. Might as well make a wooden magazine replica now and make it fit, right?
Hopefully I can make a tube or two of t-/g-virus for next year, too...

[Smeet]

Oh yes, I'll definitely be there with my Raccoon City "Race for the Cure" zombie outfit. xD

I thought we had a really nice shoot on Saturday, especially with being forcefully relocated and whatnot. It was a lot of fun, and I'd really like to do it again next year.

I mean, I have to have a chance for more zombieglompage, eh? xD

Hehe, yeah I luff mine. Wish they were liquidy inside though....wasnt there a purple one too? Was that the g-virus? I need to get off my rear and finish my plagas.

and LoLZ @ IRT... really, the clip.... it's empty!!! BAAA!!!

[TENIME_art]

I bet you if you glued the magazine (sorry, gun enthusiast) in, they'd still tell you you couldn't have it, because it's "too heavy".

LMFAO!!!

I think they would tell me to put it away.

[TENIME_art]

They told me the threat with my sword wasn't the live steel, "it was the weight". As if I was going to bludgeon someone with it.

I'll tell you who I felt like bludgeoning...

[john2p0]

no joke! they have all the concern about the magazines, and the BBs they can store, and the live steel... but a boken is just as dangerous as steel, and MORE dangerous, I think, than an airsoft gun!

crap, I shouldn't say that too loudly, lest they ban EVERYTHING with mass next year

[TENIME_art]

What about the people carring around solid wood baseball bats!? That didn't even have the "I was checked" neon ziptags!!

And, why, when I already had a neon orange ziptag, placed by "Scruffy" himself, was I constantly harrassed by multiple IRTs afterwards!?

[john2p0]

IRT really needs to get their crap together, too. My friends and I had our guns checked at about 3am Friday morning, but they didn't zip em, they put bright-butt reflective tape along the barrel on both sides. Then later, more IRT stops us and zips us, saying we could take the tape off now... Wait, so you're REchecking what was already CHECKED?! In a real-world scenario, that'd be like having ten checkpoints along the border, with each one doing the same thing as the one before, but giving different certifications of clearance. way to use braincells...

When I had to get my white mage staff checked, they had to use tape since they were out of zipties that would fit. So then I was getting harassed by IRT who didn't know they'd gotten the tape out.

-Eyeroll.-

Haha, you guys make me giggle. I especially love when they bring out the yard stick.

Zombies are funny? xD; (Actually, zombies are apparently cute, since I was glomped at least once a day all weekend.)

At least zombies are immune to the Yard Stick of IRT Prop Measurement. Well. Unless next year I decide to bring a bloody mannequin leg for a zombie prop. xD

I dont think they would let you bring a leg. That could be used to bludgeon someone. Remember, it's heavy.

OH RIGHT. Perhaps a hand then. xD

...But then I'll have to get the hand checked because the fingers could be used to poke people.

(Maybe just a small child-size leg? -shot- xD)

This thread should be retitled to "Rag on the IRTs" thread...

[Smeet]

Ah, um, oops? -feels vaguely guilty, in a zombie-ish sort of way-

Perhaps we ought to get the thread back on track?

I -know- for a fact that I will be a zombie at least one day at ACEN next year. I'm flexible; doesn't matter to me when the 'shoot is.

[R1KKu]

I should have other RE cosplays for next year, and Im gonna try to get a friend to join us. He would make an awesome Carlos.. at least I think so.

[mens_pocky06]

It wasn't all of IRT's fault...I'm hearing it was the new hires/volunteers who let the power go to their heads...because all of the IRT I met/dealt with were wicked awesome, very helpful and what-not.



ON topic...I'm going on a strict exercise plan
One: to be healthier

and Two.....Because I'm thinking about doing Alice (Apocalypse version) (^^)

[Xenn]

I would love to see a RE photoshoot. Dont know if I will be cosplaying as anyone but plan to takes lots of pics.

Yeah, I met some really nice IRT, too. Unfortunately, as is human nature, often the bad experiences outweigh the good. =/

The third movie right? You should totally do it.

I was thinking bout making it, but Id rather use my own hair over a wig, and my hair isnt long enough or the right color. Someone did tell me that I once looked like her though.

[John Freeman]

I might have yellow hair by then so I might be Wesker since it is pretty easy to pull off and I have the build for it too.

Nope. That's Extinction. ~_^

[zephy]

i'll be doing some extreme damage zombies next year, so there won't be a shortage of rotting corpses to shoot at.

[john2p0]

mwahahaha! this is excellent! Now we just gotta get a hold of some people who can pull strings, or appeal to the good nature of ACEN staff to make this the most badass photoshoot next year!

[Smeet]

Oh yeah - when we get to planning the date and time, we may want to avoid having the shoot happen during the Masquerade. That's why the Merchant wasn't able to make it.

But other than that, I'm good with any date, any time. I'll go change into my zombie costume in order to attend the shoot if I have to.


Also! I'm going to be making up a nice big batch of fake blood. Some ridiculous amount, like a quart or something. That way I can zombify anyone and everyone who asks. I'll do a sign I can hang 'round my neck that says something like "Ask me for bite-free zombification!"

Next year's shoot needs more zombies. :D
