Moonlightwalk Roof top MX Photo shoot - SupaTrooper - Wednesday 13-Oct-2010
Date: 13 October 2010
Venue: MS Moonlight Walk promo shoot
Time: 1900hrs -2000hrs
Mission: A photoshoot for the MX Magazine
Trooper Attendance: Tirilia, Sniper, Phantom, Jimcricket & Supatrooper
Location: Hilton Hotel - Roof top above 26 floors.
Support Crew: Don (Snipers Dad) & Jordan (Pez's son)
Detail: Troopers arrived on time at the Imperial Lobby. Greeted by the lovely folks from MS Moonlight Walk and the Hilton crew. It was recommended that we scout the location as new troopers - Supa, Jim and Phan wanted clear stepping access to the top as Tusky Tirilia and Sandy Sniper watch with smirks on their faces.
After admiring the scenery and the dangerous location where the action was to take place it was then discovered that both the Tuskys were not use to very very high altitudes. Screaming from behind large rocks was not good enough to cut the pure adrenaline - Sniper cried out " That's not a Death Star that's the moon! and Trilia was updating her FaceBook page to "Goodbye cruel world !"
Supa assured the team, nothing would happen as long as they kept their heads(buckets) on.
During changing in a hotel service room, a cleaning lady came through an access door where she first saw armour on the ground, guys in black tights and a blasters in carry cases - before she whipped out her Light Sabre which has disguised as a mop handle, she was stopped by Don - "Dont be alarmed, we are shooting a movie - Star Wars - on the roof top - move along". The door creeked back closed - Craig I would watch out for your father's mind tricks.
The photographer then arrived and was surprised to hear he was shooting Stormtroopers and Star Wars people - his assignment sheet only read take photo of "girl".
Back on the roof with the client and hotel management looking on with amazement - we did what we came to do - Oh Yeah.
After striking a few poses its was all over within a flash and it was time to return to home base.
Injuries: none reported
Malfunctions: Supatroopers butt plate came off during fit on but Phantom's Imperial gaffa tape fixed that! Some thing dropped on the roof while photo taking, I thought it was Craig passing out but it was the photographers lens cap...phew
Public Incidents: nil - not sure what other people in adjacent buildings saw or thought ?
Mission Status: Highly successful, cant wait to see the official pics - Redbacks taking 501st Legion to new heights!
Ok guys, just don't look down, you'll be right
