Hey erryone,

So, inspired by @P1eter's side-by-side screens (http://www.mcmiddleearth.com/media/albums/side-by-side-comparison-of-movies-and-mcme.160/) I would like to take some special screenshots where we would reenact some scenes from the books and/or the movies. As Pieter must have witnessed himself, it's rather tricky getting hands on even only one willing actor that poses for a screenshot, thus I'd like to plan these here ahead a bit.

So, if you would like to be featured in some very fancy 4K* Shader screenshots, please voice your interest below, what shots you'd like to be in and what roles you'd like to play; note though that usernames won't be visible in the screenshot. All you need to do beyond that is fill in the doodle below with when you'd be available; there probably will be multiple dates on which we gonna take some screens, but we also probably are going to take multiple screens on one occasion.

List of screenshot ideas (To be extended, if you have any further ideas below, voice em!)


Tier 1: Not too many actors needed, and almost no additional preparations

• Stock Road: Black Rider looking for the Hobbits which are hiding beneath the road.
  
  Spoiler

  Actors needed:
  - 1 Nazgûl on black horse (needs donor)
  - Frodo
  - Sam
  - Pippin
  optional: Merry (doesn't appear in the books in this scene)
  
  
• Bucklebury Ferry: The Hobbits on the ferry, Frodo just jumping onto it, Nazgûl chasing them.
  
  Spoiler

  Actors needed:
  - 1 Nazgûl on black horse (needs donor)
  - Frodo
  - Sam
  - Pippin
  - Merry
  
  
• Hobbits knocking on the Bree Gate
  
  Spoiler

  Actors needed:
  - Frodo
  - Sam
  - Pippin
  - Merry
  - maybe Gatekeeper
  Preferrably all hobbit skins with cloaks and hoods
  
  
• The fellowship on the Anduin
  
  Spoiler

  Actors needed:
  Boat 1:
  - Aragorn
  - Frodo
  - Sam
  
  Boat 2:
  - Boromir
  - Merry
  - Pippin
  
  Boat 3:
  - Gimli
  - Legolas
• Boromir's departure
  Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas watching towards the boat with Boromir that is driving towards the Falls of Rauros. (Maybe Armorstand to make Boromir lay in the boat)
  
  
• Treebeard with Pippin and Merry on his Shoulders.

Tier 2: More actors or bigger additional preparations

• Flight to the Ford (book or movie version)
  
  Spoiler

  Book version:
  Actors:
  - Frodo on white horse
  - 5 Nazgûl on black horses
  Needs 6 donors
  
  Movie version:
  Actors:
  - Arwen and Frodo on white horse (Try whether Frodo could ride an invisible armorstand)
  - 5 (?) Nazgûl on black horses
  Needs 6 donors
• Council of Elrond (book version)
  
  Spoiler

  Actors needed:
  - Elrond
  - Glorfindel
  - Erestor
  - Galdor
  - Legolas
  - optionally more elves
  
  - Glóin
  - Gimli
  
  - Aragorn
  - Boromir
  
  - Gandalf
  
  - Frodo
  - Bilbo
  - Sam
  
  Setup: Frodo sits between Elrond and Bilbo, Gandalf next to Bilbo, Sam behind Frodo on the floor. Gimli sits next to Glóin.
  
  ToDo:
  - Try whether players can jockey invisible armorstands so that it looks that they are actually sitting.
  - Probably make more/better chairs.

Tier 3: Insane screenshots

• The Battle of Helms Deep, using actors for main characters and tons of armorstands for armies.
• Aragorn's coronation

* Huge thanks to @Eriol_Eandur who has supplied me with an exclusive 1.10.2 version of Mineshot!

Maybe it would be better if someone did this with blender and mineways? Probably only staff members could do this, because they have permission to download parts of the map.
