kuran2010 0 August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 Anyone here know the rule-set for bringing cameras? I want to bring a camera with a detachable lens, but I don't know what the guidelines are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowShy1386071991 0 August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 Not sure about camera types, but one of the staff members told me pictures and video are allowed during panels and forums, but not at autograph signings. If it's anything like the other con I went to, I'm assuming anyone in cosplay will allow pictures if asked (I will). And I may be crazy; I may have lost my mind, but if loving this show is wrong - I don't wanna be right! I might be a brony now...I AM a brony now!

I thought that the protocol was that we could not ask the guests to take the time for a personal photo, but that we could take a photo of the guest signing our item being autographed.

RainbowShy1386071991 0 August 15, 2012 Share August 15, 2012 My Question - 2) Are we able to take pictures with them? If so, will that cost? Answer from Staff: Not this year, sorry. However, if any VA decides to go out on their own time outside of panels and autograph sessions and chill with fans, that is their business. But if you see them with staff, those are probably liaisons and the VA is probably on their way somewhere. If a VA is with staff, please be respectful of their space and leave them alone for the time being. * * * This was the reply given to me before my staffer MyLittlePonyTales (keep in mind, this was asked about 2 months ago or so - things might have changed). Hopefully this staff member or another can give more clarification. And I may be crazy; I may have lost my mind, but if loving this show is wrong - I don't wanna be right!

Well, if you have a camera in your hand, how are you going to get your stuff off the table quickly and allow the next person to get their things signed? I am not sure of the rules on this at this time, but you can ask a staff member in the autograph room when you get there for an official answer. You'll have to talk to someone in order to get your voucher for your autograph(s), so kill two birds with one stone. My Question - 2) Are we able to take pictures with them? If so, will that cost? No pictures, just autographs. Answer is still the same as last time. "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pictures, just autographs. Answer is still the same as last time. I was just quoting my question with your answer to answer the question at hand. I do not have the money for autographs - too expensive for simply an autograph - maybe next year depending on what the circumstances are.

I have a feeling that I will be taking the most picture over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One person can hold and distribute items, while the others takes a photo. That's how we've worked it before. But we'll ask on arrival for the rules.

Yeah, pictures there should be fine. Just keep in mind that if a staff member says put your cams away or you see signs saying no photography, don't push your luck.

Lynnie 0 August 16, 2012 Share August 16, 2012 Well, if you have a camera in your hand, how are you going to get your stuff off the table quickly and allow the next person to get their things signed? It also sounds like the assumption is being made that everyone will have a bulky professional camera. Little point-and-shoot cameras usually have a wrist band. You literally can just point, *click*, and let go of the camera (hands free!) in less time than it takes the VA to sign their name. Although, agreed, we'll have to verify how strict the rules will be when we get there. I for one will not want to violate them. You rock! Woo Hoo!

Master_Clockwork 0 August 16, 2012 Share August 16, 2012 Why wouldnt they let people to take pictures? I dont really understand... That shouldnt bother anybody... It is just for the signings. Sure it is to help keep distractions down and to keep the line moving quickly and orderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
