not going after big sales lah, just selling amongst Singaporean community here and Japanese friends, since i can do the production in my own place. i can just take orders via email and phone and print what is needed, so no wastage, just need to look for the right postcards first. but i need to know whether PhotoAid 2 is confirmed first, easier to sell that way.

 

[Loupisk]

I am a nobody in photoaid but what ever I can help. It will be gladly done.

If you need outdoor strobes running on battery, got two 600W.

Just let me know.

Coolie at your service!

ok i have met up with yqt and had a quick discussion on how it can be achieved

yqt has already spoken to the salvation army and we have in principal approval, we will ask the salvation army (tomorrow) to ask Singapore tourism board for permission to use the merlion park once again for our fund raising event.

I am currently in progress of trying to get exclusive sponsorships, (please wait for details later)

just to put priorities right. the aim should be placed on getting the charity work done efficiently and not letting this become another advertisement work.

 

[ortega]

logistics that we might need

1. 3X photo printer and consumables (sponsor)
we plan to alternate the printing so as not to have the printer break down and also as a back up in case of a break down.

2. 2X tentage, to keep us out of the hot hot sun

3. Tables and chairs

4. Food and drinks

5. 2X posters

6. weights for holding the tentage down in the strong wind

7. Lights to see in the dark

8. Cameras, memory cards, batteries, flash, tripod

9. manpower

10. portable computer, spare batteries (depends on which printer we can get)

11. electricity from fullerton (depends)

12. approval to use the merlion park from Spore tourism board and fullerton

13. Collection box

14. Sunblock


did i miss out anything?
btw we need to have a meeting this saturday

 

[razor]

cool!

didnt realised the discussion has gone so much.

I can pull in a couple of my kakis to help out, i think.

need models? Maybe can use them as ambassadors / promoters to get people to coax for a photo.

I think hardcopy prints would be preferred media for tourists and less homework for us after the charity drive.

Have to move fast. time is of essence for the unfortunate people.

 

[ortega]

should be better than helping the dogs in korea

 

[ortega]

hopefully we can get one of these

then don't need DI and prints in 37 seconds on 4R paper and don't need laptop too

One may not be enough, remember we had 3 printers working full time and yet the queue was long and we had some unhappy customers..

I had also just written to STB to ask for permission after yqt called me...Let's see who comes back with a reply.

A lot of the old PhotoAid kakis now have kids (or more kids)...cannot cheong so much like last time liao. I may not be able to dedicate 100% like the last photoAid but will help out as much as we can

This time round, we'll need to have a kid's section for little hotspots, little poohbear, little amigo, little EVQ, little sjourn, plus all the other older kids (yqt, ykia, catchlight, ortega...) Wow...the kids will have a blast.

 

[ortega]

i think we can do away with the logos, it will cut short the waiting time for the prints
we had a nightmare with that the last time around
