Convention Wish List

[padders]

What do you want to see at a Convention? What is the most importnat thing to you?

 

[coffeecup]

I think someone mention this before,if so..............who care............I would like to see some outtakes of the errors that was made and also, what roles would the actors like to exchange.

 

[padders]

Out takes would be great, i always enjoy them (should be on the dvds really) but yes that is a good idea.

 

[MythingLink]

Me? Besides the actors being there ... the tech people and those that work behind the scenes to make the episodes. I like hearing and seeing how the effects are created, how the music is chosen ... what sorts of things to the foley artists use to make all the interesting sounds? Stuff like that.

Other than that ... bloopers!

Cheers,

Wish list

'Quality time' with the cast and crew. All went out of their way to be accessable [as best as their time limits and schedules could allow]. I've always liked 'small' cons [and this was a small con compaired to, let's say, WesterCon or NorWestCon here in the Pacific Northwest]best for just this reason.

I want to see this 'small town' feel continue with next year.

 

[Martouf]

I just want to be able to talk with the actors, get some stuff signed etc.

Hey Rowan? How do you make the cool images at stargatefan.com? I have psp6 and a basic knowledge of it.

 

[Rowan]

Cool graphics at stargatefan.com...

Ah ... wish I knew. I'll pass you on to the 'Cool Graphics' dept. head, if you'd like. I'm the one who gets to sort out such wonderful questions as "Why'd the team change from MP-5's to the P-90's this season?" [I considered that to be a fairly simple query.] or "Why can't you tell me how to write that Sam found a way to change interspacial quantum physics so the wormhole will rotate counterclockwise?" [Okay ... do I look like Steven Hawkings?]. :}

Inquiring minds and all that.

 

[Martouf]

Okay, thanks.
They are really cool images, great site!

 

[SGPflughaupt]

why did they change from MP-5's,anyway?

 

[Rowan]

MP-5's

Current military doctrine with all services 'Spec Op' units [SF, Delta, RDF, SEALS, Para-Commando, etc] now utilized the P-90 as an alternate machine pistol. Uses the same round an M-16 does [5.56], is a more compact 'bull-pup' weapon design with a better reliability history [than the M-16 - the MP-5 is a great weapon, IMHO], abidexterous saftey [nice feture] and a 'smoother' outline - not as 'harsh' lined as the outline of an M-16 or MP-5, making it harder to see against a motteled background, like the boonies.

It's the last, however, I believe, makes it a poorer choice of weapon for the 'show' as it doesn't stand out well in production. Good for real camo in a real field environment, bad for filming.

I think, with the show, it's their desire to reflect 'real world' military reality. I had a chance to talk to Tom [the shows Air orce advisor at the Con] andhe and the studio work hard at keeping things as accurate as possible and a command like SGC would have all the current 'goodies' to choose from.

That's MHO - and that of my husband, the US Army Airborne guy with the Green Hat ...

i'd like to talk with the actors, get some autograms of them or buy any fan stuff of stargate ..

i think it would be very interesting what they think about their roles and if they want to play another character ..

 

[jsc]

You people have mentioned all the fun stuff, I want to see. But, I love the out takes!

 

[Gatecon]

Outtakes

After speaking to a number of people including N. John Smith and Brad Wright, you will hardly ever fin any outtakes after season 2.

There is an outtakes reel for season 1, but they are reluctant to part with it.

The main raeson you won't see any now, is that Stargate has moved to shooting the series on 35mm, and Brad said it is way too expensive to print all of the footage shot for each episode, so they only print the good footage to save money.

Sorry to dissapoint everyone

 

[Vera]

For me it's simple: RDA!

 

[jsc]

Allen, oops Gatecon,
Thank you for finding out the information about out takes. Now that they film in 35mm and out takes are too expensive, I will only bug you to bug them to show out takes from season one and two!
And why are they holding the outtakes so close to their chest (so to speak or type)? Future SALES?

Would like to see RDA and MS at future cons same as most people!

 

[coffeecup]

have RDA or MS ever been to a GateCon?

 

[Rowan]

RDA/MS at GateCon

Since this year was the first GateCon ever, so I can *no* to that in all honesty. :}

Rowan

 

[Gatecon]

The bad news is that you may never see MS or RDA at any convention.

Apparently Michael is extremely shy, and has no aspirations to go to any cons (that's the inside word), but one could only hope that both of them read these messages and see that they are extremely wanted at Stargate Cons.

Richard apparently has some VERY BAD experiences at some MacGuyver cons, and it has put him off on attending cons.
Can I just say thank you to the idiots who did this, and for ruining everything for us genuine fans.

 

[padders]

it is a shame. Perhaps they will change their mind in the future. If the other actors give back continual good reports they may change their mind. Here's to everyone behaving at gatecon2001

 

[jsc]

It is really ashame when people forget that actors (real people) play the characters and real people need to be treated with respect. They are not public property but people with lives, maybe this attitude comes from me being sooo very old! For instance, I wouldn't mind squeezing somebody's cute cheeks but won't because eighty zillion people have the same idea and will bruise the flesh! People haven't learned that what you want has its effect magnified several times by others who want to do the same thing. I am talking J SHAPED CURVE here.
