It has been great fun making this video for you. Hope you like it?

Watch it here on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYysF88aJYg

If you want to watch it higher quality it is now available as a 17.6MB MP4 download at www.watchblogvideos.com/2008/09/latest-version-of-bloggers-avatar.html

You will need quicktime, VLC or similar to play the download.

If you are thinking that you would like your avatar included but you have missed your chance don't worry just get in touch via www.watchblogvideos.com It will be much easier for me that way.

My next project will be to add links to the video for each blog like this first attempt.

www.watchblogvideos.com/2008/09/bloggers-avatars-and-links-videos.html

Please let me know if you think this would be worth while? (it is a bit fiddly and will take ages).

Please let the "large avatar" thread die. If you need to get in touch please use watchvideos.com

All the info you need to make a video like this is there as well. It is much easier than the excellent results suggest.

I'm always looking for your blog related videos to post, just get in touch with your embed code and I will post.

Very snazzy. Altho I noticed some submitted a photo rather than their avatar...so I don't recognize them, lol. But it's very cool...well done!

  Thank you. I may embed into the video clickable links (linking to each avatar/ photo's blog) if I get the time. That would help with identification.

I just watched it - and it's really, really, cool! Thank you, polybore for putting the BC community out there!

Only question, how are we all going to share the inevitable Oscar we're going to win?

  Don't worry I will insist we each get an oscar. Also I have a tearful acceptance speech all ready.

  Drat. Me, too...I can't post pix, as I've mentioned before, but a larger version of my old profile pic is on my blog (upper right.)
  Cool video, though! I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Thanks, especially to kat whose similar idea for collecting actual photos of bloggers got the polybore ball rolling for collecting and presenting avatars.

New version 2.4 has been released so if you have sent me your image (or if you have but were not in the last video) your avatar is now included.

Watch it here www.watchblogvideos.com

  Nice work. I'm having a lot of fun with it. Blog stuff aside I have used it with photos from my wedding and my baby boy. Also I got paid to do a video by an event organiser. If you have not already bought the full version you can get $5 off by using this code when you sign up qjbnwycx.

  Of course. Please visit the blog and use the contact button. I will reply and you can email me your avatar (it will need to be as big as you can make it without distortion).

  Thanks Annie. There are about 50 avatars in the video now. I am hoping for 100 then maybe I will put this project to bed.

Very cool.

I think the admin needs to add it somewhere here on BC.

And send Polybore some damn cookies while you're at it

  Thanks Anock. Actually BC have upgraded my account which was very nice of them. I could do a DVD quality version of the video for them and even pop in some of their logos and what not. Would look good on a big HD screen at blogworld.

  I've updated my blog post to the new version, but if you add the admin folks I'll make sure that I change it to that one!

  Thanks. There is a new one on the boil. Just had a few avatars sent in by email. So if anyone wants to be in the new edition v2.5 please get in touch via the blog, I've just made a shiny new (and large) contact button, please press it. lol

  That's a really good idea Polybore. (about putting it up on a screen at the convention).

Just a wee note to say that the max number of avatars I can put in the video is 90. It is at 55 at the moment so if you would like to have your avatar included let me know by using the contact button at watchblogvideos.com asap. Cheers.

  Latest edition 2.6 is now up at www.watchblogvideos.com/ so if you have sent me your avatar you will be included.
  
  If you want your avatar in the video let me know via the blog asap as the number of remaining slots is limited. Also I am going to render the video in high resolution DVD quality and send it to BlogCatalog as they say they would like it.
