[Accrs-ho] The Photo Shoot - think about it

Tue May 1 11:58:44 PDT 2018

Actually Jamie, Dean and I are planning on doing a reset on Thursday afternoon.  Why don't you join us then as three of us can probably ge done a lot faster than a single person.  We are planning on 1:00 pm.

I agree with Dennis. We should have cars in the industries (for example, grain hoppers in the co-op and boxcars at the brewery in Oildale) to make the scenery more realistic. I can head to the club later this afternoon after I get off work at 4 to organize the hidden yard and set cars out in some of the industries if need.

We also need to evaluate cars on sidings and whatever may show in the hidden and freight yards.  Only cars that are appropriate for the industry should be on any siding, and they should be the best looking of that car type that we have.  A number of cars on the layout look a bit ragged.   If the camera is going through the hidden and freight yards, the cars on the adjacent tracks should be in reasonable era specific trains, not the hodge podge that usually exists there.

I would use club cars to run a modern-era manifest as I always do. I think most of them are worthy enough to be in the photo shoot. But I also I have my UP Passenger train that I ca put together as well if club cars are really not going to be used. We can also showcase switching operations in the video shoot too (maybe towards the end) as well as mainline trains.

Members,

Did any of you read Andy's post below.  The shoot is to show the bestof our club.   If I understand the shoot, the process would be to takeONE train around the layout and narrate as it goes along.   For eachspot chosen on the layout, there will be camera set-up, time runningthe train chosen to film and this my take several takes.  There willnot be a whole lot of everyone running a train as it will take time forthe filming of each train or trains selected.  Whereas you may havesome special loco or car you would like to run, it may, or maybe mostlikely, not fit in to the filming process.  It would not be surprisedif club cars, etc, are not even used.

We are attempting to show off the best of the club.  The number oftrains needed may not be all that many.
Think about it.  

Dean

      Hello all   
    Thank you for all that showed up Friday andSaturday to cleanthe layout in preparation for the photo shoot with TSG Multimedia. Regrettably I was not able to show either day due to work and gettingready for a business trip that I will be on all next week, coming homeon Saturday (the day of the photo shoot).     
    Just a reminder, this is a photo shoot thathas the very realpotential to be seen world wide!  Who ever is showing up that Saturdayto help with this great endeavor please bring your best running ANDbestappearing equipment.  We need to make our club look good, no missinghand rails, lights working, appropriate paint and so on.  The operatingrules will be in affect, run prototypically.  By prototypically I meanrun scale appropriate speeds, appropriate equipment and so on.  I havelearned that when I am taking video of my trains, sometimes what looksgood to the eye turns out to be warp speed on film.  To quote SpaceBalls "They've gone plad!"  So please no "plad" trains.   Whatever yourpower is, run equipment behind it that is appropriate for that era. There are guide lines as far as era is concerned in the operating rulesthat have been voted in.     
    Follow the photographers' instructions, Iam sure most of ushave seen their videos before, they are good at what they do. Assumethat when they are there it is not going to be a free run.  Oddsaretrains will be staged and run on cues for the sake of the video, inother words held off camera and on the given cue run it through theshot, but above all listen to instruction, the shots are planned, ourtrains are now actors.  The videos I have seen, follow one train aroundthe layout with a few meets thrown in.  That one train NEEDS to runwell with ideally no issues.   
    Who ever is showing Saturday for the shoot,I have herd thatthe shoot is starting at 10.  Please show up at 9 if you can to set upand clean track.  If you have a track cleaner in your train make sureit is in good working order, looks respectable, AND is eraappropriate!  Remember we are trying to replicate the real world.   
          Andrew K.   KJ6DTQ
