The Movieum SFX Weekend 11 & 12 July

yer mark, i asked him agin for ya, he said drop your stuff of, then you should find plenty of parking, a single yellow line is free parking on a sunday.

and get yourself in suit! with pack! come a group pic next to ecto!!

il see you all there getting there just before 10, on the sunday.

Carl

Sorry to be a pain, if I’m coming by car (most likely) what street would be best to park in? I’ve noticed on Google Street View that Belvedere Road is double yellow and most other surrounding roads are too. I guess being close to Waterloo station doesn’t help with parking. I’m going to check on bringing my gear in a case if I do get the train after all.

well id say the best place to park, would be along the embankment, should be a space along there somewhere.

then just walk over bridge to movieum, and drop ur stuff of,

if guys bringing packs, id advise bringing a bin bag, to put over pack incase it rains, i did it before works great.

Cheers, I’ll check it out. But I doubt there’ll be any spaces. Have to think some more… I may have to suck it up and pay for the nearby NCP.

Important safety tip, thanks Carl.

Didn’t Johnnie say he could close the road on the side of the Movieum away from the river? What about seeing if you could park the car there?

Sadly I won’t be in attendance.

Does he have a rough time estimate for when Ecto-1 will arrive at the Movieum on Sunday?

I’ll be there in costume and should be arriving at Marylebone around half ten. Shouldn’t take half a hour to get to Embankment on the tube.

So yeah, a bit late to be saying this but I’ll be there with the Sniffer.

Here are my pix of GB stuff!

Getting inside Ecto-1 - a dream come true. Can’t wait to see how the movie of us getting out of the Ecto turns out.

Really excellent day fella’s. Great to meet you finally Nick!

Today was absolutely awesome… photos to follow shortly. :slight_smile:

awesome stuff!

just got home and boy what a great day!

great to meet you Mark, Gary and Ben at last haha (and seeing you again Carl :slight_smile: )

still smiling thinking about sitting inside the ecto and clearing the road while she backed up. Pure childhood dream come true :smiley:

Oh here’s a couple for the lads;

man she was hot! (and Daisy wasn’t too bad either :slight_smile: , although I felt like i should have asked for some form of ID before oogling).

awesome time guys just sad I had to rush off…

King i’n worred about you

Where is your pee tube going???

Today was definitely a lesson in my brother’s wisdom. I’d originally planned not to attend as initially the idea of journeying in to London on a Sunday was unappearing, due to not having done it before… but after talking to him late Friday night where he made the offer to take me down to Wycombe Train station, I spent the day re-evaluating my position on things, and as you can see I decided to head in.

Wow, hadn’t realised I looked so miserable in that shot… or maybe it’s grim determination? Me and Nick-a-tron finally meeting for the first time. :slight_smile:

Even though it’s not THE Ecto-1… it’s damn awesome being in it’s presence. :slight_smile:

The obligatory team shot with Ecto-1. :slight_smile:

A few better shots of the chamber, thanks to better lighting. This room was also the setting for a recital of the theme to Rawhide by the attending Blues Brothers players.

The rollcall of present movie and television vehicles…

An American military vehicle, the Mystery Machine, the Delorean Time Machine, the Blues Brothers car, Ecto-1, The Gran Torino, General Lee, Herbie, NYPD squad car…

…another General lee, Kitt, a vintage LAPD squad car and another, less developed Delorean.

Also present was a really cool replica of Dalek Sec from “New Who”.

Whilst a less intimidating “pepper pot” was also in attendance. Seriously, this R2 replica was awesome… remote controlled and everything. It was quite surreal seeing it idling through the hallways of the Movieum.

Every Ghostbuster needs to take a rest, couldn’t resist getting a “Time” style shot with Ecto-1.

My three partners in crime, Nick(a-tron), Mark and Carl.

Prepping for the film shoot (no joke, we actually shot a series of scenes of Ecto-1 pulling up, us running out into the old London County Hall which houses the Movieum, into “The Chamber” where we pretended to bust a ghost which will be added in later with CG. The stuff on the street felt like the scenes outside of Dana’s apartment building.

Carl, Nick, Joey, someone who isn’t a member of the site but a friend of the Movieum’s operator, and Mark.

Taking a quick moment to mark the occasion as final preparations are discussed with Milton. At this point we’d also been elected honourary marshalls charged with clearing the street so Milton could back Ecto-1 up, and then drive it down to the entrance to the County Hall.

Us realising a dream, getting to sit in Ecto-1. My absence of a Pack was a blessing in disguise, as I got to sit in the driver’s seat.

The steering wheel wasn’t half low, it was only just high enough to fit my legs under. This was about the only semi-flattering shot of me in the car. I don’t actually have a double chin.

Preparing to jump out of the car…

Also filmed that day, and marshalled by us, was a re-enactment of the Blues Brothers arriving to pay the debt.

The “Penguin” makes a very brief appearance in this photo.

Joey Green, giving one of his favourite props a play with.

Carl, Nick and Mark’s Proton Packs from left to right, if I’ve remembered correctly.

Shortly after Big Ben had struck five, we’d been there from at least eleven in the morning.

Enjoying a well-earned drink at the end of the day at the “after party”.

All of the equipment of the day, now including my Sniffer and Joey’s Pack and Trap. Not pictured: Nick’s Trap.

And there you have it… hopefully more photos will become available as Johnnie (the Movieum operator) makes them available, as well as others appear online and on the site. Hopefully the movie will appear available to watch soon.

Gary, it was a shame you had to vanish so quickly… but it was awesome having you there to video some of it. :slight_smile: It was great having Joey along for the ride. He was enthusiastic and a fun addition to the group.

Around the belt, obviously. :wink:

Looks awesome guys. I hope the Ecto’s headliner survived the packs. The Ecto interior was so roomy in the cartoon, then you see one in real life and you’re amazed how little room is actually inside.

Indeed, I’m pretty small yet I had to crouch really low to get in with my pack!

great photos Ben

apart from this one, lol, cut me out of it and its great, i seem to be taking on the role of roger rabit in this one, add a little speech bubble ‘‘whats up doc?’’

image

LOL

and meeting Joey Green, he was actually ace, and really lifted the atmosphere.

i shall get my pics up soon …( il be leaving roger rabit ones out lol )

sorry to post on an old thread…but that’s me and my scratch built black dalek…small world eh??
