    Hello from the LMO Team 2019

    in The Officer's Lounge

    Posted

    Please move this to the forum that you think is most appropriate if this is not the right one. 

    What is an LMO?
    The Legion Membership Team are responsible for reviewing and processing applications for membership, and maintaining and updating member information in the Legion database. The Legion Membership Officer drives costume policies, including acceptable costume types for membership and setting standards for costume submissions, and are the final arbiter of member costume issues and approvals. The Legion Membership Officer supervises and advises Detachments, Garrison Membership Liaisons, and Garrison Web Liaisons on any questions or issues they may have with members costumes. Have a question about membership these are the folks to talk to!

    *Thinking of starting a NTTL (New to the Legion) Costume? Please make sure you keep in contact with the Detachment.

    * Finishing 75% of unfinished CRLs: Supporting the detachments to find models and writing text for CRLs that are not yet green. (Q3) 
    • Add galleries to every CRL: Increasing the use of detailed reference imagery in CRLs (Q3)
    • Create CRL Development Forums: Utilizing the legion forums for open and transparent development of new the legion CRLs.. (Q3)

    About Me
    My name is Dawn Bright and I am the LMO for the 501st Legion,  ALMO with the Rebel Legion,  I have previously served as XO of the Flagship Eclipse (501st) and the Senatorial Detachment (RL), GML of Southern California Garrison and a Legion Costume Judge (LCJ) for the Rebel Legion. I love making costumes (with an emphasis on EU and new to the legion), I have almost 60 (RL/501) Legion approved costumes.
    In my normal day to day life I am an Administrator of a care home for developmentally delayed adults in independent and inclusive living situations in sunny Southern California. I work with family's and social workers to establish communication between what the families and residents want for themselves to feel productive and able and I institute success for people in need.
    I'm a people person  and as an LMO I put members first and foremost. People like you with passion for the costumes in this Detachment. We are all volunteers who have spent hundreds of dollars or/and hundreds of hours making costumes. I promise you that you will be treated with respect and deserve honest and efficient results. 
     I look forward to serving you and working with this fine Detachment

     

    About the Team

     

    Michael Capell CT/SL/ID-3037 Timberline Garrison
    Michael has been an LMO and on the LMO Team for about a decade. He has done many things in the Legion since his wife told him she was joining and that he needed to as well. He has been the SLD Webmaster for ten years, as well as (over the years) been a GXO, GML, GWL, and GEC. He specializes in Clones, EU / Legends, Sith Lord costumes, and helping people where he can.

    Blair Douglas ID-12266 Midwest Garrison
    Blair is new to the LMO team but has served as a liaison for unity for the clubs for many years. She has LMO experience with the Rebel Legion and has led an effort in the RL around costume approval reform with a concentration on maintaining quality, improving consistency, and making approvals attainable.  Her experience will help us address some of the current pain points within the 501st system. An additional bonus is that Blair is a lead software engineer by day helping to provide Fortune 500 companies technical solutions for their business needs. Her professional experience will also help us assess the current state of the systems supporting costume approvals and help to figure out how to improve them to facilitate a more positive costume approval experience. Fun fact Blair plays bass in the band Soft Speaker, extra fun fact she paid her way through college playing bass in a U2 tribute band and her nickname was Madame Clayton.

Brian has been on local staff and Detachment level staff for many years and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Brian is known as the “make it look like the picture!” guy when it comes to standards and truly embraces current Legion culture.


    Eric Brager  TK-9674 New England Garrison  
    Eric was the lead LMO for the 501st Legion two terms from 2015 to 2017. He has twice been elected FISD Detachment Leader and has held a number of garrison level command positions in the 501st Legion

    We are so very excited to work with you guys! One thing I love so much about Detachments is the love for new CRLs and the passion. Both of which are very near and dear to my heart. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the Detachment or LMO team.
    I prefer messages Here or to LMO@501st.com  that way I keep record of them and can tag appropriate parties

    Thank you and have a nice day,

    Here is the absolute best reference I can pull from that scene. Are these guys shown anywhere else? 

     

    These are sharpened and contrast tinted so that we can see details clearer. Dem shoes are SHINY!

    Ok so what I see is no seams on the top at all. 

    Shiny!  

    There appears to be a heel on them.

    The heel view is sizable on the guys on the right side images I posted,

     

    Click to enlarge them. 

     

    Also I agree Galens shoes look identical on the top. the heel may be a bit smaller (but that matters not!) close enough

    Hey luvs! I just wanted to make sure everyone knows I'm still watching.. I wanted to bring up some of the concerns as I see some slightly heated debate starting. 

     

    The issue is (and I tend to agree) is that the reference is really blurry. 

     

    Now normally we could all say "Oh we can assume" (and I do say that a lot) however of all the Detachments I oversee (5 of them) This Detachment has had the biggest "blunders and blowouts" when it came to costumes that weren't accurate and the literal fallout from it. So please understand here that the main driving force for it being stalled is not about the costume being lazy, sloppy or otherwise. Its fear that we are wrong ...again.  

    Its hard to admit we are wrong and we have learned from past mistakes. 

     

    Example 1: We were pressured by membership to approve the First Order General with little to no (blurry) reference. 

    Blunder! The CRL is now gone and people are losing money on costumes they paid for and now cant have approved. I just had a guy post last week on the CRL thread. :/ That kills me inside.

     

     

     

     

     

    Example 2: We allowed a costume accessory with little to no ref and BOOM! The entire world busted in half. 

     

    Those incidents were just in the last year....

     

    I am extra cautious with this Detachment (and so is the staff) for good reason. Things get heated. So please do not see their less than approving stance as anything but concern for what could happen later. <3 You guys are great and this conversation should continue. 

    Anyone tried taking new/better screenshots from the film yet? 

     

    Shoes are a big factor, anyone see a good shot of them?

    "see anything clearer" as in see anything different then what's been said/listed above?

    Nope. But I might be blinded by the fact I want this costume to happen (it's a guarantee to get more IOC members!)

    I'm ready to retake the photos for the green suit with a 6 red rank bar if we're ready to move forward.

     

    No worries we all want it to happen! :)

    Hello! LMO here.

    This is looking great and we have been discussing this costume internally for awhile. After some careful thought we would like if you get a hold of the Blu-Ray and could see if there are any clearer references. Id be happy to clean up some images as well. :)  You are doing a great job and thank you so much for the mail as well. I would like to see this one get off the ground. 

     

    So to be clear, dont need text for a CRL. Thats easy. What I need is clearer reference.

    Thanks guys!
