Thread: Get your cameras out! Faceplate Database Assistance Program

    Default

    A reminder: I still need pictures of all of the plates listed here. I will update this list as I think of more plates we're missing.

    Some of the plates we need just aren't out there to be had. If we're going to have pictures of them in the databse, we are going to have to get the pics from tacohead, 360style.co.uk or other site - with their permission of course.

    ------

    If you have a Gorillaz plate, I need a pic. I want to show as many as I can get pics of.

    Madden 08 Vince Young Championship Edition (red)

    Ive looked through a few collections and there are a large number of plates that we need already pictured in the forums.

    If you're one of these people, you have pictures of your collection that I can use, as-is, for the database, with your permission:

    cheezymonkey
    wsu
    tomdeaf especially Eragon
    tinytoonsbuster
    hellonearth159, if you have larger versions of the same pictures.
    fioretti esp adidas loose plus all the goodies
    goldeneyez9, need a clear shot of the whole Simpsons faceplate plus the red Madden and Prey plates if you still have them.
    Tacohead: War of the World and a hundred others, lol. Wanna part with one of your Adidas plates? Hmm? Buddy? Old pal? lol.


    Thanks, y'all.

    Spacey,
    Sorry for the delay with my pics. My plates are all boxed up also and I've been in the middle of system deployment so time has been tight.
    I've ordered a light hood so I can take better pics of my plates so hopefully by the weekend I can get you what you need.
    All my original photos are the right size for your DB but flickr downsizes them when I try an upload the full sized image. Anyone know of another site that I can use?

    Photobucket lets you upload pics up to 1 mb in size.

    If you guys have plates all boxed up, just mail the boxes to me and I'll take care of getting the pics.

    Oh, you'll want them BACK? Never mind, then.

    Faceplate Database now stands at 206 plates. About 45 of those are my customs. There's easily another hundred plates out there. Just waiting for pictures. Some of them we're going to have to get them from tacohead because there's just no other place to get them from, like some of the asian launch plates that were under glass and that kind of thing.

    i shall ask him but he is a very busy/secretive guy if i can get his attention i think we might have to borrow the pictures from his database rather than him retaking picures but who knows, if you need totonto x06 canada or the X05 canada release or any others i might have pm me spacey

    Default Pix

    I was planning a run to my storage sometime this weekend. I'll work on contributing some pix over the next week. Just a suggestion on the database: Have you considered a MS Word table? Just asking, cause I hear that is real high-tech.

    The X06 is the orange one x/300 with the sticker, right? I have a few shots of that one, but I don't have any shots of the three X05 plates. Thank you

    I'll check out your link to see if that will work, and if it won't, I'll message you. Thanks

    Awesome. I think hellonearth159 is doing the same thing. I can always use existing pictures just so there's representation in the database, and then swap out the pictures for better ones as we get them. I was just not going to go grab pictures off of anybody's sites without their permission. Thanks for your help on this.

    I don't know what you call the thing that Kamshaft is using for the bones of the database. It's the same as the rest of the site. Plates will be linked to each other, and to their relative games if they're, well, game related.

    Brief Update: The database now has 286 plates uploaded. Some plates will have additional pictures added. Some of those will be additional shots, some will be of the plates in their packages. Still others will be variants like autographed plates.

    Until I get some more nice, big, clear photos of the plates I am missing, I will go through the posted collections and see what I can scare up.

    Woo hoo! We're now at 388 faceplates in the database, with a TON more to upload.

    I've got about twenty manufactured plates still to put up, and over a hundred customs. That means, without any additional plates at all, we'll top 500 BEFORE we launch.

    THAT. IS. HUGE!

    Also, I've got a good 150 ADDITIONAL plates to post. These plates are alternate photos of existing plates, or variations like signed plates, or plates still inthe packaging. I'm trying to use only loose plates, but in some cases either Idon't have a good loose shot, or with something liek the Transformers plates that use the paper inserts, a carded pic makes more sense. Hopefully, someone has a set of those open and we can get pics of all of the inserts, too.

    Kamshaft and I have been going back and forth about what to do with customizers where they're not members of the site. There's a woman named Jenni Chasteen who only has a half-dozen custom plates and she hasn't done any in a year or so. She's thinking about starting it up again, and someplace like our site might move her to do that. Anyway, I could probably get her to join easily enough, but is it necessary? I'm thinking what I might do for customs if the creator is not a member of the site it to just put it on the corporate side with the "manufacturer" as "other" and list their name in the long description of the plate. Then if and when we DO get them to join, I just go back and edit the data. Artist Pavel has already joined so that's not a problem, but then there's Michael Salvador, who did all those MS silver plates with the artwork on them that looks like they were printed onto the plate and not painted. I'm still trying to track the guy down.

    I am going to go back to the front page of this thread and edit my list of the plates that I still need. I found a bunch, but still need more. Also, I'm abandoning the thing about asking for better pictures if the pics I have are satisfactory. Once the database is up, you guys can skim through and tell me if you think you can come up with a better pic.

    Thanks all. I'm going to bed after I edit the list. I have to be up at five am, drive to LA and back, and have an interview with a job placement place at 4:30. Hopefully, I'll still be functional enough to get us over the 400 hump tomorrow night.

    I changed my mind. I'm just going to put the fresh list here.

    If you have a Gorillaz plate, I need a pic. I want to show as many as I can get pics of.
    X05 Canada Large Maple Leaf
    X05 Canada Many Small Leaves
    Halo plates: all of them
    Gears of War plates: All of them except the E3 Emergence Day LE.
    Zero Hour Dead or Alive 4 Tournament Airbrushed plate (I need a single pic.... TACO... lol)
    Medal of Honor: Airborne (no flash glare)

    Wow, shrunk it a lot, huh?

    I know it's cheating, but I'm going to go through Taco's and Frazmand's lists and see what plates I might have missed. I won' tuse their pics without their permission, btu I can still add the plates to my list of "plates I need pics for." I know for sure Tacohead has a bunch of Taiwan launch plates that were photographed from a class case at the laucnh. His pics probably are the only pics in existance.
