All Poster Stuff

[ATLfun]

Guess Mel should have included the following disclaimer:  "If your poster is made of metal, it is not an original even if the trees are evenly shaded" 

At least one exception, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo razor blade advance. Measures 26x40, a production of 500.  Here is a video of the production process:

That's a pretty cool process.
Thanks for sharing the vid.

Read a post on Dario's page that lead me to other websites (as they do). Now THIS is the way to layout old posters on a wall

We wants that wall...

[AdamCarterJones]

Rather impressive, I agree.
Personally, I don't like having many framed posters covering entire walls, however, with a large enough home you could get away with this layout easy.

Freaking Cool as hell Kubrick wall.

Agree. Would suit one of those loft/warehouse conversions, open plan with at least one wall that is 2 floors high - it is very cool.

The 6-sheet alone would make me happier than a pig in hogwaller.

Exactly.. give the posters room "to breath" and not all be crammed together. A place with cement and high unfinished or painted walls, exposed duct work, cement floors.

Brilliant.

Exactly.
There was a house recently on Grand Designs (UK home design and building show for those unfamiliar) that would have suited this display so much. It's what I thought of straight away. It would be a major focal point and such a conversation piece that visitors could not NOT comment.

I think I would swap out some posters though and put a couple photos of family and friends in their places - people wouldn't notice them at first as they would be dominated by the posters, but once noticed people would start commenting on those and reminiscing ... God, I could go on lol

Oh to have 25 foot walls!

Anybody know what the story is with the EWS advance in the lower right?  Never seen that before, and would not mind getting one.

It's one of three beauties!

A forum member got 'em!

[Charlie]

Damn, I thought I didn't have to worry about EWS stuff anymore... 

[Harry Caul]

Yeah, I think marklawd got them.  There was discussion of the posters here at the time... I seem to recall someone saying their existence was confirmed in a Kubrick book (Taschen?), but that the eMovie auction was the first (and only AFAIK) time they sold publicly. 

[Ari]

Shame I don't like any of the EWS campaign, I love the movie.

[ORFEO]

I dont know if this is the right section of the forum to show you this , but I'm curious to listen what you think about and so, for the moment, I post it here.

It is a set of 24 postcards representing a tribute work of Sandro Simeoni to the history of Cinema. It has been realised in 1995 to celebrate 100years since the fist screening of Lumiere brothers..



Some closely












Enjoy!

[brude]

Very ambitious.
A piece like this deserves it's own thread.
 

[Starling]

Oh wow, I LOVE that!  I could study this for hours...

[ORFEO]

There are references to 40/45 different movies in each board, so they are about a thousand total (!) .. I tried to recognized them all but I gave up: the mission is really impossible!
.. however it is a feast for the eyes

The future of movie posters?

One can only hope.

Back in the old days we called that a Trailer....   


I have said this for years, instead of posters, there will be a short trailer outside the Cinema. However, when
the last Cinema closes down, and we all watch films at home. Will posters for films even exist!!

[Ari]

See that new wolverine "poster"
I just wonder if it's double sided.

[eatbrie]

WTF is your avatar, Ari.  That's disgusting!
