Add Multiple Images To Cartoon Entries
|

OK, I surrender to your requests! You want multiple images availablke for each cartoon...
I have set up a system to do this. However, I do NOT have the time nor inclination to do this. So, if you want them added, you will have to get it together for me.
First, a sample of what I have done. Please see the Donald Duck cartoon The Riveter. Not great images, but you should get the idea.
If you want to submit images for any cartoon, here are the rules:
1) They must be good images- not blurry, must not have TV station "bugs" in them, be Full Frame (no black borders), have good and natural color, and should be from key moments in the cartoon.
2) Images MUST be 300 pixels wide- no smaller and no larger... and at 72 dpi. I will not resize, I just won't use them. Send jpg's only. If you do not know what dpi or pixel width is, or do not know how to change these image attributes, don't submit.
3) All images must have a text blurb with them- what the image is and why it is important to the cartoon. Please, no "books" either- just a couple lines at most.
Please send your images and corresponding text blurps to me, one cartoon to an e-mail (to keep the confusion down). You can number the jpgs so they correspond to the blurps. Please, for BOTH our sakes, only send 2-3 a day at most.
If we go by these rules, I should be able to upload promptly.
I have made the images only available to users, so you must be logged in to see the images.

Okay let's clarify the jpeg submission format. 300 x 300 pixels is a perfect square which is unnatural, 300 x 225 which is 4x3, full frame. So any widescreen movie like the Incredibles or Finding Nemo, should be captured and resized to 4x3 format? or can we submit a widescreen pic at 72dpi in a 300 x 168 to maintain it's original theatrical format?
Here's 4x3 aspect ratio which is 300 x 225 pixels. FULL FRAME
Here's 16x9 aspect ratio which is 300 x 168 pixels. WIDESCREEN
I vote to maintain the original aspect ratio of the movie out of respect to the director for his overall vision in every shot. Of course I will crop the black matte, which occurs in 1:85 format movies like The Incredibles. Nemo is actually a perfect 16x9 widescreen or 1:78 format which works nicely.
Your thoughts Dave?

Not Dave, but here are my thoughts. I'm thinking that b/c these are only supposed to be representative of the cartoons & maybe show a character or two, the smaller file size is probably the better option.

Ok, I just saw Dave's other post. We're all good. The 4x3 images will be 300x225, and the 16x9 images will be 300x168, all at 72dpi.

Right- 300 pixels wide for everything, with no black bars or anything. Origional aspect ratio. So whatever size that works out to- which is why I only have width dimensions, NOT height dimensions...
As you can see above in bmodes example, if the width stays constant, everything looks good and lines up nice.
