Organize flights

Would be good to organize some direct flights to the event and/or team up with RyanAir, EasyJet etc for getting people there. Could be some really cool, Iron Sky themed flights too;-)

Nazi UFO simulator

I just wonder, whether it'd be possible to create some kind of a UFO simulator on computer now, as we already know what the nazi UFO looks like. The UFO could have some unique capabilities and its steering might require special equipment (extra buttons), but perhaps such could be reasonably implemented.

The simulator could then be introduced to publicity at the premiere, where fans could test it.

40's-style live music

To set the right atmosphere.
And maybe also as a promo for Operation Highjump

Crazy action in Tampere

This has been done before, but something similar could perhaps be combined to the premiere celebration:

Mikontalo Lights from Hervanta:

Moon nazi parade / guards team

There could be a parade in the city, in which as many costumes used in the production as possible would be worn. Of course, the moon nazis would march in tight military formation following their officers and being followed by the Zündapp man etc. The parade could also be larger, including the whole cast in their costumes. Each group would then march separately in their own typical style.

Thereafter a smaller squad of Moon nazis could keep marching around, "checking places" and following orders of their officer(s) (in German, of course!!) everywhere in the area as if they'd be controlling everything in the happening. Even a small Moon nazi team appearing exceedingly serious around all the time would likely be very hilarious.

The actual cast could be further followed by a true parade by the Finnish Defence Forces, or vice versa. (This would match perfectly in case of my earlier suggestion about major cooperation with FDF to organise a historical WW II event.) FDF could be asked to arrange a historical detachment depicting WW II military. They might also get interested in experimenting a futuristic "2018 unit". Who knows, they might even send a couple of F/A-18 Hornets to fly over the parade from their Pirkkala base.

The places etc.

I've organized some small/medium (6 000 - 10 000 people/event) events in Tampere, the latest one of them was less than two weeks ago so my info is somewhat recent. My speciality is project management (in event planning) and I've got quite idea how to do logistics and security things for events. I'm not much use in programming, but that's not going to be a problem, as we all can se from the great suggestions we've got so far! :)

The main point you must know before choosing the location is: how many people are you aiming at? I'm guessing in thousands but is it closer to 2 000, 5 000 or 10 000 or more? The location for 2 000 people is way easier to find than a location for more than 10 000 people. Here are some examples (and price ranges, too):

2 000 people: The Tampere-talo big hall has space for nearly 2000 people but it's damn expensive. Tampere-talo was a tad too small for nearly 10 000 people even though we got the whole building... The rent was _high_ but then again the quality of the service was good.

5 000 people: The Siperia area fits 5 000 people nicely. There is no place in Tampere which would fit 5 000 people at once (one room, that is), apart from Pirkkahalli, which might not be the best idea. Siperia area has the movie theatre, restaurants and room for exhibitions and program items, if you want those. The problem is part of the buildings belong to the city and the people who work there won't stay in longer even though one would be willing to pay more rent for them to do so. We've had this problem (and we had it less than two weeks ago) and that's the reason we're thinking of organizing the event somewhere else next year (but nothing has been decided yet). The prices can be and aren't _that_ expensive but not cheap either.

Pakkahuone, Klubi, Telakka and all the things around it are good but I haven't organized any events there yet so I don't know about the prices or how the thing actually works. But it's good for evening gala type of a thing (especially if there's both Klubi and Pakkahuone in use). Telakka is a cheap place to rent and it's possible to have an art exhibit on the second floor there but the place isn't really "Iron Skyish" to me :)

For 10 000 or more people I think Tampere-talo is on the edge and Pirkkahalli is the place where people would actually fit. Both most likely extremely expensive (at least Tampere-talo is) and Pirkkahalli is _really_ far away from the centre and everything else (hotels, etc.)

For an even any size the security things are quite important and the police bureaucracy can ge a pain in the ass. In Tampere it's usually best if you have people who have organized big events before filling the applications because police likes the big events in Tampere as the security things have always been handled well.

If you need any opinions, help or anything else, you know where to contact me. I'm willing to help you guys! Just let me know if you need my help! :)

Wrecking Tampere to the map

First of all, the map of Tampere:

http://maps.google.fi/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=fi&geocode=&q=Tampere&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Tampere&ll=61.498786,23.719482&spn=0.117955,0.308647&z=12

1. Where should we organize the event.

Tampere Exhibition Centre Pirkkahalli would be a proper place for a bigger party.

2. What should happen - of course, we're going to premiere the film, but what else? A concert? A big party? A seminar? Tampere-tour?

Suggestion: IronSky AND communal moviemaking are having a party together. Like the Assembly parties for computer nerds, but this time this could be a fair to show communal moviemaking and wreckamovie productions and lots of independent films.

Different phases of produtions could pe presented and ideas changed because people could meet face to face too.

Main theme would be Ironsky, it's premiere. It would be nice to get some movie stars also around.

This happening could have also web presentations and online streams.

And fans of those movies could buy movie related stuff and fan products there.

In fact i'd like to see that this could start an independent movie festival to Tampere in the future. Independent communal moviemaking festival.

EDIT:
Just remembered that there are scifi conventions worldwide and in finland we have this Finncon.
http://www.scificonventions.com/
http://www.finncon.org/

Combining those to that happening somehow would be nice, the audience is perhaps more than interested in Ironsky too.

"Finland in WW II" show by the Finnish Defence Forces

Concerning it's been approximately 70 years since the beginning of the Continuation war, when the premiere will be held, it would be a perfect timing for the Finnish Defence Forces to organize a major show on the theme. Why not combine the forces and call them arrange their program together with Iron Sky in Tampere?

FDF could come to show and introduce people all kinds of authentic equipment and old material they have, maps, clothes, lectures on military history, perhaps soldiers and people evaquated from Carelia who are still alive and willing to tell their experiences (e.g. my mother is one), whatever. FDF could also show various short introductory films they have produced both historic and introducing current FDF. (I know there are tons of great films people would certainly love to see. They could be shown non-stop in various places.)

Even if they'd arrange their main parade that year somewhere else on another day, FDF could organize such a history day in Tampere. And they'd probably be willing to do it for free, because it'd likely be huge promotion to FDF, the value of which they certainly appreciate.

It might further be organized as a major occasion on Finnish wartime history in even larger scale by calling history departments of universities and museums (National museum?) for the same idea. They could organize their own shows beside FDF.
