The final episode of Mindful Games will be on Animal Crossing: New Horizons and, as I've mentioned, I want the community to be a part of it. If you're interested, I'd like you to show me one example (preferably interior) of mindfulness as you prefer to express it in the game. I have a bunch of guidelines below so you know exactly what I'm looking for and so I don't waste your time. I'll need a Dodo Code or a Friend Code so I can link up.

1. There are 3 ways to submit your room/area. The first is to pick a time below and I'll head over to your island to capture the footage on my end. I won't be streaming this, and it's up to you whether you'd like to be included in the footage or not. The second is to send me a Dream Code (either by posting it here or DM'ing me on Twitter @TrailerJones) along with instructions on where to go and what to record. The third is to capture it on your end and post a clip for me to download, similar to how stuff is delivered on Community Showcase.

2. I'll be visiting islands tonight (Monday, April 19) from 9 to 11 PM PT. Then tomorrow morning (Tuesday, April 20) from 9 to 11 AM PT, and finally tomorrow night again from 9 to 11 PM PT. I'm willing to stretch those windows out to accommodate everyone (especially the ones at night), and I'll reach out to you individually if we need to re-schedule for some reason. Let me know if more than one window works for you so I can move people around if necessary. When I get the info I'll list where I'm going when in this post so you have an estimated time of arrival, give or take 10 minutes.

3. Each of these locations will appear in the edit for a maximum of 5 or 6 seconds, so it should be something that you can visually understand in that time. You're limited to ONE LOCATION, so don't take me on a tour or have me pick from a list of options. Preferably, I'll follow you straight from the airport to the spot you want to show me, and then you'll get into position wherever you'd like to be. Then I'll spend a minute or so capturing, and leave immediately. The quicker we get it done, the more likely it is that I'll be able to fit everyone in.

4. If you select an exterior location, you'll likely make it into the first half of the video, during the scripted-section with my voice over. If you select an interior location, I'll likely put you in the second half, during the 3-minute-or-so music/sfx section. If you're setting up something inside, DON'T HAVE ANY MUSIC ON. I'm going to have a track playing under the whole montage, so resist the urge to turn on something peaceful because I can't have two songs going at the same time.

5. If you prefer to capture the footage on your own, be sure to give me a static shot for at least 10 seconds. That means standing still and keeping the camera locked. The more you move around, the less options I have as an editor.

6. If you are unable to make any of these windows, don't want to mess around with a Dream Code, and can't record on your end, I'll also accept screenshots. One per-Patron. I'm just not 100% sure if they'll work in the edit or not.

Thanks to everyone that is willing to help with this, and I hope I have time to get to you all!
