Dreamworld Photo and Video Shoot date[b]
Location: Dreamworld, Gold Coast
Weather: A little hot but not too bad.
Date /Time: 12/02/2010 0800 - 1230
Troopers:
SL 4035 Kev Vader
TK 2153 The Scotsman
TK 6232 Moxxxie
TB 8995 Muppet
TB 9133 Gremlin
TK 8226 Mouldman
TD 3409 Apok
Wranglers:
By default Moxxie
Mission: To get photos and video footage for the media packs that DW will be sending out and for us to have stuff to post on the web.
Summary: Troopers arrived on time and ready to go...Sith Lord made a grand entrance late. Apparently some rebels didn't know how to drive and slowed him down. Once all were assembled we headed to the Tower of Terror and got some pics. Muppet, Scotty and myself then stayed on the ride and let it rip. AWESOME!!!!!! All armour held together. Then it was off to The Australian Wildlife Experience where we feed kangaroos and held a koala. Then back to the fron of the park to get some more photos and say hi to the people. Man will there be some pictures going on facebook from the public after today! A quick break and we were at it again filming in the park. Lord Vader was recovering and Scotty had to bail to do family stuff but Mouldman, Gremlin, Muppet and myself hammed it up for Moxxie who was the director supreme. 10 things TK's can't do will be a crack up to see when finished. More pics with the public and a few high fives and that was a wrap.
Injuries: Lord Vader got a woosy from being in his armour for an hour in the sun. It was a monster effort from the boss. After 3 bottles of water he was his happy-go-strangle-the-life-out-of-you self again.
Public Incidents: A kangaroo did not like Lord Vaders breathing and started growling at him and checking him out. It was like an Ewok on heat. Luckily the fists did not fly.
Malfunctions: Due to Moxxie not bringing her belt (d'oh) she malfunctioned her way to becoming a wrangler. Which actually benifitted all of us having her there as Vaders "please don't keel over" helper and our director (just don't do on the day Mox haha). I stepped on a thigh piece at the Tower of Terror getting back into it and the glue came undone (stoopid arildite). It was gaffe tape to the rescue!!!! Muppet had a thermal det cap come off as well.
Happy People: Everyone that saw us and Purplena the fairy who is face painting on the day. DW PR staff and actually any staff member that saw us.
Not Happy People: The kangaroo that wanted to biff the boss.
Mission Status: More than a success. We got the shots and won the hearts of loads of people.
Apok out
PS. Awesome job everyone and if we keep up todays standard the 27th will be a total success. Moxxie even though you weren't armoured we couldn't of done it without you.
Also a special thanks to Josh for taking the photos and Ryan from entertainment for driving us around and just helping where he could. Ryan is also editing the vids as I type.
