PHOTO OPS RULES, SUGGESTIONS, and FAQ

RULES:

Lines for each photo op will not be made available until 15 minutes before the scheduled time for that particular photo op. Please do not try to get in or form any lines that are not yet available.

There is absolutely no personal photography, no videography and no autographs in the photo op room. No exceptions. Also absolutely no kissing of the guests or asking to be kissed by them.

SUGGESTIONS:

Glasses will often glare and make it difficult for the photographer to notice a blink, if you do not mind removing them, we suggest you do.

Our photographers watch for blinks however if they do miss it please make the print pickup staff aware of it as soon as you are handed your print so we may rectify the issue.

What should I wear?

Your photo will no doubt be highly prized and saved for years, so we suggest giving some thought to your wardrobe. White does not photograph well.

What if I’m not pleased with the photo?

Because of the quantity of photo opportunities taken at any convention there exists the very small possibility that your photo might be blurred (usually because of movement during the shoot). This occurs in less than 1% of all photo ops taken, but we do ask you to remember to remain still during your shoot. In case your photo is blurred we will offer a refund or credit.

FAQ:

What exactly am I buying?

The purchase of a celebrity PHOTO OP gives you an 8″ x 10″ full color photo of yourself with the celebrity. In order to avoid any patron being upset we like to point out that you are not buying a “conversation” with the celebrity. On rare occasion a patron will be upset that we must keep the line moving, however please know that our celebrities need to also do their on-stage presentations and sign autographs, generally all in the same day, and they often need to catch a plane or make another engagement. The PHOTO OP typically lasts less than 30 seconds.

Do I have to have a ticket to the convention to get a PHOTO OP?

Yes, it is necessary to be attending the convention both to get your photo ops taken and picked up (if they are printed for dispersal at the convention).

Are PHOTO OPS included in any convention ticket packages?

No, Photo Ops are not included in any convention ticket package and must be purchased separately.

Can I take a special pose?

Special poses are at the discretion of the celebrities and/or may be affected by guest flights and other scheduling issues.

Can I get a digital copy of the image?

Yes, digital copies as JPEG are available for $10 each and will be emailed.

Can I get additional 8×10 prints?

Yes, additional copies of your print may be ordered for $10 each.

How many fans can be in one picture?

At the request of many of our celebrities we limit the amount of patrons in a picture with a celebrity to TWO PATRONS maximum. Families may also include children under 12. If you have a larger group, please speak to the Photo-Op desk.

How will I receive my PHOTO OPS?

Photos are generally available either late in the day or the following day of the convention. If your photos were taken Sunday and are not scheduled to be delivered back to the convention before you leave, please see below (note that ANY photos not picked up at the convention are available in the below way).

For photo ops not available or picked up the convention, we will post within 2 weeks of the event all the remaining photo ops on a page within www.sacanime.com. The address (URL) of the photo op claiming page will be announced at the convention and when the site is ready, the link will also appear at our site at our photo ops pick up page. You will be able to claim your photo(s) and we will carefully protect and mail your photo to you within 2-3 weeks at our expense
