Richard Dean, the elephant, loves Stargate

20 January 2009 @ 08:14 pm

I made 2 more music videos for the Creation convention, one for Kavan Smith for the Cherry Hill con and another for Rachel Luttrell at the Burbank con. They played the Lorne one at both conventions and people seemed to enjoy them. :)

The Teyla: Superwoman was a winner in the Burbank Music Video competition, that was a nice bonus. :D

Sorry about the low quality, haven't had time to try uploading the high res version again, it kept failing before.

I'd love your comments, do criticize, I want to learn. Thanks!

Calendar wallies

Hey all,

Happy 2009!

Things have been busy for me so unfortunately no time to post here. More time spent on Gateworld and Ausgate.net. :)

I did make a John & Teyla calendar and posted it on

sga_beya, do check it out!

Here's a version of the calendar wallpapers without the text, you never know you might like one of them...

Ben Browder Music Video

I made a Ben Browder video for the Creation Chicago Stargate Convention that went on this weekend. It was sent in as entry for the Ben Music Video Contest they had, as an intro video to bring Ben up on stage.

And you know what? IT WON!

So here it is, my second video ever and a Creation 2008 Music Video Contest Winner:

So they played it right before Ben Browder was announced on stage. At the autograph signing I asked Ben what he thought of the video and he said that he loved it, though he did seem to fall over a lot!

I've posted it on Youtube for now, until I find a better way to spread the Ben love. ;)

PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS HERE, not on Youtube, that way I can keep the comments if I decide to move the vid, thanks.

Icontests and LIMS

Do you like icontests and LIMS (Last Icon Maker Standing), just like me? If so, there's a couple of icontests/LIMS that are starting a new round, so now's you chance to get involved!

First of all, for SGA fans out there:

lantis_lims is a LIMS competition for SGA, with no focus on one specific character or episode. Each week participants are provided with between 5-12 caps and are assigned the task of making one icon entry unless otherwise stated. These caps may be chosen by theme, gender, episode, colour etc. You will be informed of the challenge requirements.

Then for the fans of Paul McGillion there is:

pm_icontest, an icon contest and LIMS for the fandom that is Mr. Paul McGillion. ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME!
The focus is on Paul McGillion. This means that the challenges could include everything from Dr. Carson Beckett to Con Photography to quotes to See Grace Fly. Anything that is Paul McGillion related will be fair game here.

And last but not least for the fans of David Hewlett:

dh_icontest, an icon contest and LIMS for the fandom that is David Hewlett. ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME!
The focus is on David Hewlett. This means that the challenges could include everything from Rodney Mckay to Con Photograhy to quotes to Nothing. Anything that is David Hewlett related will be fair game here.

I'll be taking part in all 3 of them, do join me and show off your work! And if you've never made icons before, it's a perfect way to get feedback on your first tries.

Vancouver pics: final part

Finally! I found some time to post the pics of the last day of the Vancouver con, Sunday.

In the morning I went on another (extra) tour of Gateworks and a prop depot. We saw props being made for upcoming episodes of Stargate Atlantis. They showed us the SG-1 gate and the puddlejumper that are used on location and lots of Stargate props/costumes. Huge rooms, filled to the brim with Stargate props, unbelievable! Can't post pics though, the waiver thing again. :(

In the afternoon, there were stage appearances by Bruce Woloshyn (digital effects), John Smith (Executive Producer), Rainbow Sun Franks, Michael Shanks and Lexa Doig. I missed Bruce's part because of the tour and didn't have any good pics of John and Rainbow, so I'm borrowing some from my friend Neelan_Liquor.

( Sunday afternoon pics )

I also got to be the photographer during the interview doublecut (one of the editors on Gateworld) had with Lexa Doig. Lots of great pics, but unfortunately I can't post them since they're technically Gateworld's pics. Maybe after they post the interview...

I also had a great photo op with Michael and Lexa, hilarious in my opinion:

Can't wait to have that one signed when I see the both of them in Chicago.

And finally, the ultimate souvenir from Vancouver (besides all the new friendships): my autographed cube. Some of you may know this already, but I made a cube to remind me of my trip. I photoshopped pictures of all the celebs I would see together and made 6 squares, which fit into a plastic cube I made.
(I apologize for the quality of the scans, I made them in a hurry so pardon the dust and the crookedness. I also blurred my name because I posted them on Gateworld)

( Cube pics )

Also, the side with the gate pic has autographs by Chris Heyerdahl and David Nykl, 2 guests I didn't know I would get to meet so I had no pics ready for them. :)

Well, I hope you enjoyed the pics from my little adventure into the Stargate mecca. I hope I convinced some of you that going to conventions is something you should definitely do (if you can afford it).

SG1 LIMS

I know quite a few of my LJ friends love to make icons, so here's a new 'last iconmaker standing' (LIMS) community you might consider joining.

sg1_limsfocuses on iconmaking for Stargate SG-1. The regular LIMS format applies: each participant submits 1 icon, everyone votes and comments, the weakest iconmaker gets eliminated.

Round 1 Challenge Themes: Uniforms & BDUs // The Men of SG-1 // The Women of SG-1 // Bondage (a.k.a., Can I Get Back to You? I'm Kind of Tied Up Right Now.) // I'm Too Sexy // Landscapes & Stargates // Off-Duty // In the Line of Fire (Caught in the Act of Firing Weapons) // Spaced! // Humor // Food & Drink // Alternate Universes

Signup is open now, I've signed up, maybe you should too? ;-)

Vancouver pics part 3

Alright, as promised, some more pics from Vancouver:

Friday night cabaret

Preview pics:

( Cabaret pics )

On Saturday morning we had the set tours (can't post of that publically, signed a waiver), those were an amazing experience, and ended with the best photo op ever!

In the afternoon there were stage appearances by Jason Momoa, Gary Jones, Martin Gero, Corin Nemec, Chuck Campbell there was a Continuum panel with Brad Wright and Martin Wood. Oh, and BamBam crashed Jason's Q&A session. And everyone signed autographs, which was unexpected.

Some pics from my 'not-so-good' camera:

( On stage pics )

Saturday evening there was the Dessert party, featuring 7 of the guests, they came around to the tables to talk to everyone.

Pics from Sunday to follow later...

Vancouver pics part 2

Here's some more pics from the convention. Again, for the pics of people on stage I was 9 rows back so not great quality. :(

Friday on stage: Alex Zahara, Alexis Cruz, James 'Bambam' Bamford and Kavan Smith.

In the evening there was a celebrity cabaret featuring skits by Alexis Cruz and a stunt show performed by Jason Momoa, Bambam and 3 stuntmen. I don't have pics of that show but I'm gathering some from other people, maybe I'll get to post them.

Ark of Truth screencaps

I received my copy of Ark of Truth in the mail yesterday, a day earlier than expected to say the least. So I figured I'd share the love and make some screencaps. OK, I made a LOT of screencaps. Over 1100, to be exact.

You can find them right here: http://s222.photobucket.com/albums/dd149/elephant_girl/GW%20Forum/Caps/Ark%20of%20Truth/

Major spoilers alert, of course.

Enjoy!
