Title: Background Blitz :: March 7 - 21, 2004 - OVER
Post by: Darth Mandarb on Sun 07/03/2004 21:18:17

Subject : FAMOUS MOVIE BACKDROPS
Size: 320x200
Colors: 256 (or less)

That's right, pick a scene from a movie and re-create it adventure game style! The scene doesn't have to contain any characters from the movie ... but that certainly wouldn't hurt!

The only suggestion I have would be to pick something more mainstream just so it'll be more widely recognized. It's not a requirement, but people would probably vote for something they recognize over something they don't.

Examples:[color=0000AA]
Jabba's Palace from Return of the Jedi
The airport good-bye scene from Casablanca
The bridge from Star Trek
The bicycle in the moon from ET[/color]

Something like that.

I'm working on an entry myself ...

Happy Blitzing.

Yay first background blitz for me :)

Am I supposed to say what scene this is, or make people guess based off my awesome drawing skills? hahaha
