Collecting Question.

Hah.  I tried that, and also failed miserably.  So many of our cells are from the memory sequences where the color is already hard enough to distinguish, or of the cloud's and such, so I think it may just be our cards specifically not wanting to help out, haha.  Anyhow, I checked out your (Kbmum) web site, and saw what I believe to be screencaps to show your cells...and realized I have thousands of dollars worth of sound/video editing equipment.  So I could realistically narrow it down to the exact frame, and have a perfect picture of it.  So until I learn how to take a picture, hah, that will have to do.  I'm trying to build a site similiar to yours, so we can show off the variants, cells, collection in general.  But I will say, the computer screen background was the most sucessful, just still it may just be our camera.  Anyhow, either way, you helped me out!  Thanks

If you're looking for screencaps, the Leaky Cauldron and Mugglenet websites have them for all of the HP movies in their respective galleries.  I like the Mugglenet galleries, since the images for each movie are organized by the scenes in each quarter of the movie.  The Leaky Cauldron screencap galleries are usually not in the correct sequence according to the scenes in the movie, so it's much harder to find the exact images you want.

Ya, I checked those out in my quest actually...but I'm anal about perfection sometimes, so I just popped the DVD in, and literally chopped it to the frame rate the cards are in.  We have one of Harry when he's pulling himself out of the memory thing, so his face is really distorted if you don't hit the frame perfectly.  We have a couple really cool cards I decided after realizing how short some of the scenes on them are, we have one of dumbledore walking in to meet Tom, one of tom the second they met, a few of the deatheaters attack on the bridge, we don't really have any lame cards.  I guess some think the 'green preview screen' is lame, but I like it, though we still want a card with an actual scene on it as well.  We'd really like to find one that has Katie Bell in midair when she's cursed, anyone have one?  Haha.  The other one we'd like to find is one of Dumbledore laying waste in the cave, all the fire around and such.  We have one of them standing on the rock outside the cave that it would match up nicely with.  Wishful thinking I'm sure, I wish more people would tell whats on the frames on eBay, haha.  Anyhow, if anyone needs stills from any of the movies I'd be happy to help you out, as I said, Ive got some pretty good equipment that's been lying dormant for awhile now, at least it is getting some use now, haha.
