Dingo Directs: SL machinima auteur seeks 100+ avatar screenshots for upcoming project (Updated)

Update, 10/17: Robbie told me he's already received an excess of screenshots, and can't take any more for this project.

Last July, Robbie Dingo created "Watch the World(s)", easily one of SL's greatest machinimas (and for that matter, among the very best in that still nascent medium.)  I have no idea what brilliant movie he's concocting now, but if you're reading this and have the time to take a screenshot of your avatar, here's your chance to get involved:

"For this video project I would like to use a lot of images of avatar faces (100 + if possible) the more weird, colorful and wonderful your avatar, the better," Dingo tells me. "If you would like your avatar's face to be included then please follow the instructions below.  In return, if I use the image, I'll send you a link to the finished work once it is complete (if it all works out.)  Thanks so much!" 

Deadline is October 21 HAS PASSED. 

Robbie Dingo's project submission guidelines:

1) Please ensure that lighting is set to daylight / noon (use Mouse-Moves-Sun if needed) and find or create a large solid-black backdrop (completely black please).

2) Take a close-up snapshot of your Avatar's face (straight on, framed like the example of mine attached) - please use a size of 1024x768, and save the snapshot to your hard drive.  Attachments, hats, horns, whatever, are OK

3) At this point please convert the .bmp file to a .jpg (but retain best settings), to keep the file-sizes down, if you can.  Name the File the same as your Avatar's name.

4) Finally, email the jpeg as an attachment to me at <[email protected]>.  Please use just the word 'FACE' for the email subject heading, and include just your Avatar's Name in the body of the text.

That's it!

I promise I will not spam or give out your email address.  In fact, the only other email you will get from me is a link to the finished work when it is done.

Please Note: By doing this, I am assuming that you are giving me permission to use the image (in this video only).  I also promise I will not display your image in a negative way, but I do not guarantee that I will use the image (because I have no idea how many I will get at this point) - although I hope to use the first 100 or so that I receive. 

Once again, please note the deadline is the 21st OCTOBER 2007, after this I will no longer be using the email address above and emails will not be received.

Thanks a lot to everyone who has sent images to me (I now have enough), sorry to close this earlier than originally intended, but I didn't want anyone to be sending in images that may not now be used... Thanks again - much appreciated... I'll let you know when done :)
