Hey, don't just not do it because I said so. Remember, my opinion is just mine. You might end up doing something real cool or innovative with frames that would completely prove me wrong. Don't just use frames because you can, and don't not use them because some people said they didn't like them. Do whatever you do based on what you want. I gave my opinion to help you make up your mind, but in the end, you got to make up your own mind.
I'm just saying this because I know that when your young and creative, you tend to be influenced by what other people think. You'll eventually realize (hopefully) that when you do things based on what you want, directed by your own vision, that's when things come out good. If you try to please everybody, or follow try to follow some sort of formula, things come out bland and unoriginal, but when you do it your way it's unique.
As far as getting interviews, give it time. The best thing you have is you devotion (yes... not obsession
) and eventually your site. Don't be bashful or embarrassed when you go to the show. Make sure that the people there know you're there, and that you're there often. After the show, when they're hanging out and signing autographs, make yourself seen. Make friends with the performers and the crew. Eventually theyll know you and (if your not annoying) be happy to see you. They'll be flattered when they find out you have a site dedicated to their hard work, and even more so when you ask for an interview. You're your own leverage.Some of the most fun things to learn are those that you'll never use in life! Think of all the seemingly useless Universal and Ghostbusters stuff you've crammed into your head.
It's all the important, real world stuff that's a pain to go through.You're going to be a filmmaker? Read up on you're physics and chemistry, cause those lighting packages aren't going to set themselves up and that film stock isn't going to pick it's own aperture stop. Sleep through math and history, and later you'll wonder why the movie's over budget and why your historical drama is #1 on MovieMistakes.com. And I bet all those hack screenwriters out there don't even know what Hamlet is, let alone his age.

Keep us updated!! (BTW - congrats on EOM of your division!!!)
And for the pictures...if you give them to me, make sure they aren't used on another Universal fansite...preferably ones you, yourself, took, so I know who to give credit to.
