Suggestion: Paddleball Shot

So, I was thinking either use a frame of the blowout going past the edge of the screen in the banana song from the Despicable Me 2 trailer, or this: [1]◊

Even the frame that the video uses for its thumbnail demonstrates perfect!

Here is the thumbnail image: [1]◊, although I prefer a shot that shows it going beyond the frame.

Barring a capture that has all three of the Minions singing, I'm good with that one.

This better?

Is it better without the black?

I think that the black is necessary. It makes it more obvious that the noisemaker is extending out of the shot.

If we put a fake description in it, we should be fine.

Either version of the last one suggested is fine...I like that Minion #2 is looking at the one with the noisemaker.

It would be great if we could figure out a way to make the noisemaker go over the caption.

That's not too hard; bake the caption into the image, a la The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You.

Just be sure to use a lossless image format like PNG instead of JPG, or else it'll be too obvious.

But first we need to decide on a caption.

13.1 looks good. About what you can do. There's a chance of misinterpreting it for some kind of Medium Awareness or Breaking the Fourth Wall, but I don't think it's significant.

I love a good Self-Demonstrating Article. 13.1 gets my vote.

13.1 is great.

I also agree.

13.1. The caption itself, is great, too.

13.1 looks good to me.

That's good enough. 13.1 is up, potholed, and tagged. Since the caption's already built in, we're done here. Locking up. Good work, Rethkir and Shadow Hog.
