This time it is better, not only will your avatar be included but also your blog url.
Think you can do better animoto is free for 30second videos and it is very easy to do (that's why polybore loves it so)
Anyway here is how the avatar video looks so far.
animoto.com/play/tVq7iKEtj0KI8BJsenSEEA?ref=qjbnwycx
Thanks to crpitt, Anok, Friday13 and legbamel for providing their avatars. If you want your's included email to the address at the end of the video or hit contact me at either of the polybore blogs or post it to this discussion.
The bigger the image you send polybore the better because the finished video will be rendered in HD. Also it will be converted and posted on YouTube
Think the music is ok?

This is a cool idea!-
Thanks. Polybore has done this once before last year and it was a lot of fun. Get your avatar (as big as you can) to polybore and you will be in this new one.
-
-
Huh ... this is almost like opening credits for something, with the (nick)names and all that.-
lol Yeah. What kind of show though, medical drama?
The first time Polybore did this a lot of people asked about getting their URL included but back then it was very difficult and time consuming to do so. Not any more though it is very easy to add text.
Better with text or without? 'Suppose could always do two versions. -
I like it better with the text. Makes it look like more than just a slideshow. And people know who those pictures are from.
-
-
-
Upload it to somewhere, and either post the URL or use the img tag.
-
Ok got your URL. You can email polybore. Address is at end of video. Or here is how to post your avatar here.
-
Huh ... I thought Blogger images didn't work with the IMG tag.
-
Thanks Friday13. Sam1982 you got a larger version of that image? That is a bit too small. Looking for an image as big as these posted in a discussion last time Polybore did this (before captions were available).
www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/new-year-new-avatars-new-video -
here's a larger variation of my avatar
-
Sam1982 that will do the trick. Thanks. Adding your avatar and url now.
-
-
sent you an email
-
Excellent, got it. Adding your avatar and URL right now.
-
-
Sheesh - that's really good - and you know what? It made me realize I NEED a new LOGO avatar...
I wish I knew more...
I wish I knew how to DO more... LOL!
WagerWitch.-
Don't be shy. Anyway if your avatar is not big enough any image that represents your blog will do.
-
I'm working on one - aggg...
-
-
-
The larger one by email is perfect. Thanks
-
I just emailed you a larger image. Maybe that one will work better.
Thanks again for the opportunity to participate.
-
-
*Very* cool. I've sent mine, but just in case: www.flickr.com/photos/sbmontana/8463037/-
Gotcha. Is www.sbpoet.com ok for URL?
-
wrong place
-
-
Yep, that's it. Thanks!
-
-
Ok you can see the video including all the avatars up to this point here. It rocks!
animoto.com/play/Y30As4NfYd91yrDZ1SkvUQ?ref=qjbnwycx
If you are not in it but would like to be don't worry, it is not too late to be in the final version. Check the thread for how to get your image and URL to polybore. email is at end of video (preferred method)
Back in 8hrs or so.-
Sam1982 slight problem with your url it is one character over the 30 character limit so had to drop the ".". Any suggestions as to how you would like it rearranged? One solution would be to make a custom tiny URL (using the title of your blog?).
Must point out to others who may be reading this will only accept a tiny url if you full URL is over 30 characters. -
hmmmm perhaps take the / off the end, www.themaybrickestate.blogspot.com or did you try that already?
-
-
Does it have to actually be our avatar?
-
No that is fine. Got to get some shut eye just now though. Your image will be in the next video (next 10hrs or so). Thanks.
-
-
-
Got it! Thanks
-
Do you have a larger version of the image? Have enlarged the one you provided and is a bit pixelated. Will probably do though.

In case you missed it earlier in the thread this is the current version of the video animoto.com/play/Y30As4NfYd91yrDZ1SkvUQ?ref=qjbnwycx
If you want to be in the next version of the video along with blackswan and libdrone all you need to do is contact polybore. Thanks.-
LOL, it's so exciting, like watching for your name on the credits of some TV drama. Thanks! -
lol legbamel, it is isn't it. Have been thinking about doing mock medical drama credits with pictures of my friends. Nothing like a bit of dressing up and feigned compassionate/ sad/ happy/ serious expressions.

@polybore
Do you still have my Arcticulates pictures. I would love to have those on there again?
I never did get a copy of the first one. I still want one.-
not-pop-jukebox.com/2008/09/i-avatar.html
This one, or is there a later version? -
Yes Articulates. Have your original picture from the last one. Sorry you did not get a copy of the last one. Here you are, you can download it (the 2008 finished one) in HD from here
www.watchblogvideos.com/2008/09/high-resolution-animoto-video-i-avatar.html
Am adding your original picture to the new video now. Thanks.
-
-
cool idea loved it.-
Send polybore your avatar and you can be in it.

Here's my avatar
1.bp.blogspot.com/_glGwikHCh0I/ScO6uTeemuI/AAAAAAAABZk/ZIk7N5Cxuuo/s1600-h/...
and the URL desired please is:
www.creative-blogger.com-
Wow! Was expecting a teddy bear. Enchante. Done!
-
-
@ polybore - You have done a fantastic job! Thanks again.
-
Thanks polybore can you let me know when it's online? I'd like to add a link/embed vid on blog etc, as it looks pretty swish.
I can promote this offer via www.writersadvice.blogspot.com if you like? Would you like me to copy your post here across to there?-
No problem. Sure, please do copy the post across to there. Will let you know as soon as the next update of the video is out and when the final version is ready. About two thirds of the way to the finished video now. Cheers.
If this thread becomes unwieldy might start directing people to my blog so no one gets missed out. But this thread does just fine for now.

Hi Polybore,
This is the link to my avatar: i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/melindaville/MelindavilleAvatar-1.jpg
And here is my blog's URL: blog.melindaville.com
Thanks! This sounds like fun!-
Ok got it thanks. Just about to release the latest version, you are not on it, don't worry though you will be in the next (and possibly final version). Cheers.
-
Thank you, polybore!
-
-
@Polybore
Hi I added your post here:
writersadvice.blogspot.com/2009/03/want-to-be-video-star-get-your.html
hope it helps, if you want to edit it to make your offer clearer, just post the text in a comment and I'll alter it accordingly.-
Great thanks. Will do.
-
-
great idea, email with my stuff coming your way-
Excellent.
-
-
Ok this is the latest version with everone on it up to this point (except avellar and mtyler77 don't worry though you will be in the next one).
animoto.com/play/LrUJakm3CKpI8aIVR00N8A?ref=qjbnwycx
Still enough space for a few more avatars if you want to be in the video. -
Oh, what the heck, why not?--
Here's my avatar:
i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee298/ThriftShopRomantic/FollowTwitterButton.jp...
And my URL is: www.cabbagesnkings.net-
Thats the spirit got it. Thanks.
-
-
-
Ahem ...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Sorry about that. -
Got. Can only do one url though. Which one do you want in?
-
any of the two. thanks.
@friday13, next time i'll put blood splatters in my avatar.
-
-
-
cazywaz Have you got a larger version of your avatar you can get to polybore. email is at the end of the video or post to this discussion.
-
-
You are very talented, this is like a really groovy music video of mad people! Ie us. I love it.
-
I think it's looking very good! You're gettin' some serious skillz and whatnot
I almost thought that the song was going to be Whitestripes - just for a moment. And I was like Oh hellsyeah!
But the song works regardless.-
Very kind. However it is 99.99% animoto making the video good and 0.01% polybore. It is no different to uploading a picture to a blog. Then you just put them in the order you want, select or upload the music and hey presto one awsome video. You should give it a go. It is free to make shorter videos.
animoto.com/play/LrUJakm3CKpI8aIVR00N8A?ref=qjbnwycx
Could have used Whitestripes but polybore is good and respects copyright (boring). Animoto has a bunch of music you can use or you can have a look round Joomla.
-
-
Last call to get your avatar and url included in this video. animoto.com/play/LrUJakm3CKpI8aIVR00N8A?ref=qjbnwycx

Think this one will be better. Will add it in the morning and let you know. Thanks.
-
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu are Godlike Material... LOL!
If you're gonna do that I'm gonna make and make and make thingies for you LOL - you've created a monster.........
Actually these are things I should have done a LONG time ago. So...
Thank you!
-
-
-
Too hard to read in Avatar size...
Sigh - ok - I'm gonna make a BETTER avatar - but love the buttons - they're ok - right? For on the fly anyway... LOL!
If I missed the call Polybore - it's cool - I'll catch the next run.
Thanks for making me actually do something tho... LOL!-
Polybore will find time to add you to the video, probably tomorrow now though. In the mean time keep trying to get the picture bigger, polybore will have a go if you get stuck.
-
-
DUDE! That turned out great. Thanks for letting me be a part of it
-
Thanks. Was fun and it is always good to have something to show for fun afterwards. Well nearly always anyway.
-
-
I have placed this already on my blog - not as a post, but as a featured video.
Go to madmadmargo.blogspot.com - look half way down the side bar for this awesome promotional video!
Thanks again, polybore, great job!-
Excellent, looking very splendid there. Polybore says, "Bump it up that sidebar". lol
-
-
-
If polybore could add codesucker to his amazing movie, codesucker would be thrilled. codesucker.blogspot.com
If not, codesucker won't hold it against polybore.-
No problem, will do. Need your avatar image much bigger though. If you look at the earlier versions of th vid back in the thread polybore's email is at the end of the video.
-
-
Oh I can make it MUCH bigger...... I didn't know BIG was the need --- ooooohhhh - now I can go play... yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah....
fun fun fun -
nicely done Polybore!
-
very nice. thanks polybore.
-
Let me know when the "final" final version is done (and what the song/artist you've used are) and I'll post it, as well. I've practically got top billing, after all!
-
Will do. The music is Piece Of You by Tim Mahoney.
-
I saw that on the video but I thought it was a woman singing. What do I know, maybe Tim's a she. Thanks!
-
-
This is fun, I made my own video after checking this out and being on yours! It's such fun!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOFlY2CR6xc
What do you think Polybore - is it rockin' or what? I love rock music. I need to load some cooler pics though.-
It rocks!
-
-
-
LOL you guys - isn't this just the bomb?
I'm telling you what - i've been so caught up in doing my graphics I forgot to make something else - But Poly - you go --- if ya wanna try something you go for it.
Yell at y'all later - this vampire is going to crawl into bed.
But --- I wanna play with the next one... *GRIN*

LOL!

Are you committing random acts of kindness?
Have you no conscience?-
None whatsoever. Actually once shot a slug, feel pretty bad about that, so maybe there is hope.
-
-
Now this is what I'm waiting for the inclusion of the blog url.
say-food.blogspot.com/
Can somebody enhance the quality of this image? Please.-
Image was quite noisy.
(next time, borrow a good camera or something ) -
Thank you very much for the effort Friday13. Actually I used my phone camera to take a shot on that picture. The image above was edited a little, I used "diffuse" effect using PS. Can you share how did you come up with that result? Are you using PS too?
@ polybore i prefer the "original" one. -
Nah, I use GIMP. I used the wavelet denoise filter to get rid of the chroma noise (the multicolored spots all over the image), then an adaptive blur to smooth things out (clearly, I overdid it!). Finally, some level adjustment to make it brighter.
It was a late-at-night effort
-
-
-
You forgot Mr. Belushi.
-
-
Love the video & the song! All the bloggers & their avatars look awesome.
Help! My avatar "I Have A Belt Belt in Shopping"....... Shopping's missing from the video. Any way of saving it?
Thks a million! Let me know when it's done. Can't wait to put the video in my blog showing off all the bloggers!
