MVS Mini-Marquee Archive. Needing Contributors.

[Witchboard]

I started a project to document mini-marquees.  Please contribute if you can.  Original thread can be found here. <--- link

Might as well start with the begging:

Please email your submissions to witchboard@gmail.com following the below guidelines with your name so you may be given credit for your contribution.

Please submit an original scan and not a scan found on the Internet as those may have been altered by either color correction or re-sampled to acquire a specific dpi/size.

Use a piece of black construction paper to back lightly colored marquees so the edges are easily identified.

Scan your original marquee at 300 dpi with no automatic color/contrast corrections.

Allow extra room around your marquee when scanning so it can be cropped to a standardized size.

Save as an uncompressed TIFF (.tif) file for lossless quality. Each image will be approximately 7MB in size.

I've setup a page at my website about the project located here.

I've got all I have up on bittorrent.

Posted a new updated torrent for the archive.  It would probably be easier to reference this page in the future for updates if you're interested in the project.  Also, if anybody could help, it would be most appreciated.  Thanks.

Figured I would bump this thread with the announcement that in addition to the torrent, there's also a dedicated website for the mini-marquee archive.  Still needing contributors, so if you have any mini's lying around, please consider contributing to the archive.  The new website can be found here.

Oops, double post.

Well, most of the mini marquees are scanned to my knowledge...Perhaps a list of wanted scans would help those of us who would like to contribute.

Whatever isn't on the new website.  A lot of the images already scanned are low resolution scans with compression.  I hate to re-invent the wheel, but at this point I'd like to start with original hi-res scans.  For more information you can check here.  Thanks for your support.

Bump for re-interest...

Maybe this'll start something (hopefully):

The thing I would love to see most is someone post and say "my mini is better, where can I upload it."
