Update: Please use my entry in the thread below as an example of how to format your entry. This shouldn't be a complex photo shoot (unless you want to attempt a really high score.) Hi all! ...

Yes i read the rules, however due to "wandering" characters i couldnt decide.

Tips for peoples:
A)Place some roads in the desired area (since most of my characters do in door tasks in 1 building i placed that building near the desired area..released them then set tasks manually for 162 characters) a large amount of characters began wandering to quickly and some are stuck in an off screen area.
B)Plan the area, as noted the 1st pic is kinda empty, the reason is that is an area which i've deemed done, not picture worthy (for this contest) but done so i dont change anything around there, after taking the picture it seemed empty so moved some items, and thusly the other 3 pictures were taken/
C)Make sure you know what characters ya wanna use, this makes things a bit easier and allows you to keep those characters in a defined area.
D)Between a wandering character and a "still" animation i will choose the still animation.
However the road issue comes to place, with no roads characters will get stuck, some of my favorite characters are stuck behind those pictures: Fracker, Scoutmaster Homer Blob, Citzen solar...etc. Choosing a wandering character will have issues trying to get them where you want, some walk on cement roads the others on both cement and dirt, all in all it took me about an hour to simply set up the pictures because the Dinos tend to wander if you move the screen to a new place (making you wait all over again) so make sure every detail is down to the smallest minute possible change.
Backstory:
Bart mech left before any pics could be taken... my main challenge was to get a shot of Blinky fully out of the swamp+ Hank using flamethrower.
I dont think ive done that but still at least CBG is using his nunchucks, and Petroleus is causing mayhem alongside his brethren.
