I am very excited with a new feature of Ghostbusters Fans that I have been working on for the last few days. It will change the way we view the movie and find information about it online. I won't give away exactly what I am working on, but I do need your help to create it. There will be several steps where you can help build this new feature and I am ready for your help with the very first one.
Step #1: Accumulate Screen caps for every part of the movies.COMPLETE
I have taken a screen cap for nearly everything that happens in both films. That's over 5000 screen caps in total for both GB and GB2. However, I don't have time to go through them all and delete the duplicates or the blurry shots or the bad shots.
That is where you come in.
I have created a voting system that will allow you to preview these screen caps and decide which ones are worth saving and which ones should be deleted. There is a load of criteria for deciding what is a good screen cap and what is a bad one, so be sure to review that before starting. Just remember, we want a screen cap for each part of the movie. That's each shot, each take, each scene, and each thing worth seeing and sharing online.
Lets get started.
Ghostbusters: http://www.gbfans.com/ghostbusters/screen-caps/beta/Completed.
Ghostbusters 2: http://www.gbfans.com/ghostbusters-2/screen-caps/beta/Completed.
Those who complete all the screen caps (and contribute to this new site feature) will get a Supporting Membership for participating.
Step #2: Tag images with useful information..
Now that the screen captures are all done (and for the most part sorted through). I have added a system that will allow you to tag the images with useful information. Useful information are things that people would be searching for later on. They include: Character Names, Actor Names, Locations (Filming locations, and fictional locations), Props / Equipment (if it has a Proton Pack in the shot tag Proton Pack).
That's pretty much it. Several of the screen caps have been done already. We recommend clicking the "Go to next screenshot without any tags" button. Do not post duplicate tags. Do not tag descriptions. Do not tag quotes. Hopefully just 1 or 2 people can go through and tag things then there will only be a few things for people to tag.
Ghostbusters: http://www.gbfans.com/ghostbusters/timeline/tags/beta/
Ghostbusters 2: http://www.gbfans.com/ghostbusters-2/ti ... tags/beta/
It is very important that you use existing tags. We have pre-populated it with several tags. For example we have tagged "Dr. Peter Venkman". Please use "Dr. Peter Venkman" as the tag. Do not tag with "Peter Venkman" or "Pete Venkman" or "Venkman" this will result in multiple tags and will not be helpful.
Feel free to post if you have any questions.
