[X] My Assistant

I hope this is okay to post here, but I'm an indie filmmaker in Greensboro, NC USA. I'm working on a very unusual film "Outside In" that is an IMAX film being created in my basement studio on desktop computers using a variety of special techniques to create full motion from still photographs.

The film is a giant-screen visual symphony that aims to artistically bridge science and spirituality as it journeys from the big bang to the Cassini-Huygens Mission at Saturn. Much more detail here: www.outsideinthemovie.com.

In order for the process to work, I rely on high resolution (at least 4000 X 3000 pixels and preferably larger) images and photo-mosaics. I have created a few of my own but I need many more. The authors of the book "Saturn, A New View" recently supplied 9 of their images and few amateur astro-photographers have donated some of their best shots.

Because I'm just an indie filmmaker still struggling to fund the film and because of the huge number of images involved, I can't pay for images, but you will receive full credit in film and a link off web-site plus tickets or copy of the film when released.

Specific needs ranked in order of need

(1) Any Saturn system objects
(2) Earth & Moon
(3) Mars
(4) Milky Way (need a huge mosaic of this)
(5) Sun
(6) Rest of Solar System
(7) Individual star photos (these obviously can and will be very tiny - I just need many of them

Any and all help with is deeply appreciated and don't hesitate to hit me up with questions etc.

That MER mosaic is infact half the full size of Pancam's full res.
