It was the second and last day of the con and today i did not take care of the VIP lounge. I was placed at the photoshoot area. I was assigned the role of 'pusher', meaning i had to tell people they could go for their picture with the guests they payed for.
I also scanned tickets for the prop photoshoot with the actor who plays Sith Lord in Star Wars and the costume photoshoot with Christoper Judge. These were really busy shoots, which is why the photograph of that shoot asked for more manpower.
I met a lot of famous people again today. My favourite was probably Natalia Tena, who plays Tonks in the Harry Potter franchise. She was really sweet and also excited about everything. There were other famous guests i talked with like James Marsters, Devon Murray, Sean Astin, Robert Englund and many others.
Because some guests had cancelled, and some photoshoots were done early, I also had time to walk around the con. I walked together with Armando, who was a crew member also assigned to the photoshoots. It was really fun and i did spend some money.
Overall i really liked this weekend. Having to clean up the venue afterwards was tiring and my feet did hurt terribly. I was sort of happy to go home. The people from showmasters, who got us this internship, told everyone how proud they were of the crew and that, for the first ever comic con in Amsterdam, it went really well and we could thank ourselves for that.
I loved the work experience and the ability to see what happens behind the scenes. There was a lot of nice things to do and fun people to talk with. It wasn't just nice crew members but also guests and exhibitors. I would like to do it again but going to a con as a visitor is in my opinion sometimes nicer.
