Quick avatar mash

We want to find an easy way for members to contribute to the content of the Swarm project at every stage. The easiest way we could think of for you to contribute visually was by uploading a photo of yourself (almost as easy as uploading an avatar!).

So we’re launching a gather of photographs from members today… please contribute to our open source trailer by uploading now.

Photographs will be used to illustrate ‘The Missing’ — people who have disappeared during The Ravages (the climatic events that head a global meltdown) — as part of a fake propaganda trailer for the film project.

Sign in and upload your photo at the forum in this thread. It would be very cool to get as many Angels as possible in the trailer…

Submission requirements

  • The photo must predominantly feature you.
    (It may include you and 1-2 others but they must give you consent for use by us)
  • We are looking for a variety, from formal portraits, to an informal snapshot
    (it can even be a younger version of yourself!)
  • No group shots.
  • No other constraints on style
    Colour, black&white, nightvision shots are all fine.
  • You must of course have permission to use the photo and assign consent for use
    Full details in the forum.

Zeno has taken a lead in creating the propaganda film/trailer, but input is welcome on this, including on scripting, design and other propaganda material (for the NTC - New Traditionalist Coalition, see backstory for details). We also want to produce propaganda posters as part of this initiative.

We think reflecting images of The Missing that we have seen from such historic events as The Disappeared in South American countries like Peru, and recently with 9-11 in NYC, should create an additional emotional resonance to the film’s backstory.
