ENTER! SF&F Avatar Contest: First Frames

Since we've done The End, let's do The Beginning. First Frames -- or just something from the first scene -- of your favourite SF&F films (or shows, or episodes of shows). No restriction as to franchise or subject matter, usual avatar rules and restrictions apply. Good luck!

I'll start us off:


Mad Max: Fury Road

 

Darn it. I thought of Fight Club's opening when I saw this thread and just realized it's SF&F only. Now I have a great avatar and nothing to do with it. I'll post another later.

 

Pity it isn't SF, that is a great first frame.

 

Dagnabbit! I just made an animated one of that.


I will go with the first appearance of Indy instead.

 

This is no fantasy. No careless product of wild imagination.

 

^Ack! Lens flare!

 

Only the cool kids will recognize this one...

 

^There's a vote!

 

Joker's heist from The Dark Knight

 

Here's my new entry. If you don't know where it's from, leave trekbbs.

 

Going a bit faster than in the movie, isn't it.

 

Edited for file size.

 

Ah.

 

Actually, will the standard avatar rules apply in XenTrekBBS? It's avatars are smaller and not animated.

 

Personally I would say contest runner discretion.
If we go by new board standards, animated shouldn't be allowed either.
I will probably keep using the old rules in any contest I run, but if anyone wants to use new board rules, that would be fine, too.

 

Ugly layout, smaller avatars (with borders around them), crummy designs -- by God -- XenForo has done it -- it's gotten a hold of a flux capacitor and we've gone back to 1997!
