[Accrs-ho] The Photo Shoot

[ACCRS HO Scale]

Hello all

Thank you for all that showed up Friday and Saturday to clean the layout in
preparation for the photo shoot with TSG Multimedia.  Regrettably I was not
able to show either day due to work and getting ready for a business trip
that I will be on all next week, coming home on Saturday (the day of the
photo shoot).

Just a reminder, this is a photo shoot that has the very real potential to
be seen world wide!  Who ever is showing up that Saturday to help with this
great endeavor pleas bring your best running AND best appearing equipment.
We need to make our club look good, no missing hand rails, lights working,
appropriate paint and so on.  The operating rules will be in affect, run
prototypically.  By prototypically I mean run scale appropriate speeds,
appropriate equipment and so on.  I have learned that when I am taking
video of my trains, sometimes what looks good to the eye turns out to be
warp speed on film.  To quote Space Balls "They've gone plad!"  So please
no "plad" trains.   Whatever your power is, run equipment behind it that is
appropriate for that era.  There are guide lines as far as era is concerned
in the operating rules that have been voted in.

Follow the photographers' instructions, I am sure most of us have seen
their videos before, they are good at what they do.  Assume that when they
are there it is not going to be a free run.  Odds are trains will be staged
and run on cues for the sake of the video, in other words hold off camera
and on the given cue run it through the shot, but above all listen to
instruction, the shots are planned, are trains are now actors.  The videos
I have seen, follow one train around the layout with a few meets thrown
in.  That one train NEEDS to run well with ideally no issues.

Who ever is showing Saturday for the shoot, I have herd that the shoot is
starting at 10.  Please show up at 9 if you can to set up and clean track.
If you have a track cleaner in your train make sure it is in good working
order, looks respectable, AND is era appropriate!  Remember we are trying
to replicate the real world.
