2002 GH/PC SSW - CA Weekend Edits

Here is the write up on the GH and PC SSW 2002 edits. There are two edits for PC and three for the GH events. The breakfast is on #13 which is a GH edit and on the end of the PC #11 so that is duplicated). To avoid confusion I plan on continuing in the number sequence so the SSW tapes are numbered as follows:

SSW 2001 #1 (GH/PC)
SSW 2001 #2 (AMC/PC)
SSW 2001 #3 (Street Jam Concerts)
SSW 2002 #4 (AMC)
SSW 2002 #5 (AMC)
SSW 2002 #6 (OLTL)
SSW 2002 #7 (OLTL)
SSW 2002 #8 (OLTL)
SSW 2002 #9 (PC)
SSW 2002 #10 (PC)
SSW 2002 #11 (GH)
SSW 2002 #12 (GH)
SSW 2002 #13 (GH)

During the AMC and OLTL first two weekends of the California Adventure it was disappointing to have to miss some of the events when they were booked at the same time (between the Q&A’s and the Casting Calls). It is not physically possible for any one person to attend all of the events. I didn't want to miss anything this weekend so I purchased a second video camera and sent my husband with it to the Casting Calls that I couldn't make. So he was able to tape 6 Casting Calls total that I wouldn't have been able to tape (or I would have had to miss a Q&A to get any of them). So I was able to tape all 8 of the Q&A's for both GH and PC, and I was able to get 8 of the Casting Calls. There were 9 all together and I missed Coltin's on Saturday. So combined on the following tapes are 17 of the 18 events held over the weekend (including the breakfast). Now you will notice a difference, the second camera I bought was an analog camera and I have noticed in copying those 6 Casting Call events that the color and clarity is not as good as on my digital video camera. So I plan on returning the analog camera and in the future purchase a second digital camera for future SSW events (that is if I can talk him into taping again!).

Also please note that my hubby has not video taped much before so on those Casting Calls noted analog, he did the taping and the camera is not quite as steady as when I'm taping events - especially during the Saturday events...though I think he got better. So if you notice a difference in those events that is the reason for it. I made a note on each of the Casting Calls whether it was done with the analog or the digital camera. So if you find one of the Casting Calls isn't quite up to the normal quality that you expect from me (either in the clarity of picture quality or in my hubby's technique) just realize that this was the only way for me to get those events and they are highly watchable.

The other note is you will often hear fans in the background making comments, calling things out. That is never me as I do not talk during events so those are the opinions of those around me unless it is me directly asking the actor a question. I talked a lot during the GH weekend 2001 tape and wanted it to be a fan video diary of the weekend. i was very happy with how the tape came out but absolutely hated how I sound on tape! So you may have noticed that I didn't talk at all during the SSW 2001 events.

They were also asked about the most embarrassing moments on set. Erin is kidded about how clumsy she is and her accidents on the set.
