Plan for the shoot:
The plan is to get to the location, get everybody into costume (or have them get into costume beforehand), take 30 minutes to 1 hour approximately to apply make-up, and then we do the shoot. The shoot shouldn't take more than 2 hours. After the shoot, we can go into the mall and walk around (we might as well! I love it when people do that )

Costs: The owner of West Edmonton Mall tells us all we need to pay them in order for using restricted areas of the mall is only the amount of the security guard's wage (for how many hours long the shoot is) for supervising the shoot. Approximately $15-$25 per hour.
We also need an insurance policy to ensure if we do any damage to the mall, it will be covered.
But most importantly, the costumes will cost the most out of the entire shoot. I've calculated, for the cost of the costumes (wardrobe, wigs, contact lenses, props, etc) should be around $1,500-$2,000.

Costume fitting: (End of October, tentative)
There will be a costume fitting for all of the models on a specific date towards the end of October. This is also so the models, photographers and organizers can get to know each other before the shoot.

Date of the shoot:
Since it's a few months away, it's hard to pick a specific date, as well as the fact that we don't know exactly which date all models will be available on.


If anybody else is interested in helping out for any reason (or wants to tag along just to watch) PLEASE LET ME KNOW! We would appreciate it!
