He's thinking of Edward James Almost, who is an Edward James Olmos lookalike who Tracy is friends with.

Ghostpilot posted:Speaking of Jurassic Park posters! I think I'd like these more if they were book covers instead, especially the first two. Partly because they look like book covers, and partly because they look better at a small size than at a poster size.

Der Shovel posted:It's one of the first lovely minimalist posters I've seen that actually made me a bit angry. Yeah. It's the epitome of the lovely minimalist poster that only someone who has seen the movie and enjoyed it already can "get." And it also happens to be abusing an amazing line. The tortoise one is just... daft.

Antti posted:The tortoise one is just... daft. They're both godawful, but at least "tears in rain" has become an iconic line in its own right. I didn't even remember the "turtle on its back" part until I rewatched the movie recently, so I wouldn't have gotten the connection. The tears in rain one was poorly-done, but the turtle one has only the most tenuous connection to the film so I'd consider it the worst of the two.

While it miss the mark on the atmosphere of the series as a whole, I have to give it at least some credit for trying captures the incredibly goofy vibe a lot of the better x files episodes had thrown in and that many other x files posters seem to totally ignore.

That Jurassic Park one is awful for how little menace there is. Two little cartoony Ghostbuster cars drive past a hump-backed T-Rex that I find much easier to imagine mooing than roaring.

I like the idea behind the "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" poster for 3D Jurassic park. That's one of my favorite scenes from the movie and its a clever way to show off that itll be in 3D Just terrible execution

Teenage Fansub posted:Cause of that Left Behind poster I just read the plot summaries to every book on Wikipedia. Most of the books are decent. Batshit insane, not to be taken even remotely seriously, but I like crazy end of the world stories. That last book where Jesus shows up though is nuts. Just a whole other level. Jesus is walking across a battle field, speaking at bad guys, causing them to explode, as we walks through rivers of blood. I can't believe anything in that last book was actually put on paper and published. So yeah, I'd love to see them try and film that poo poo.

You guys know that a lot of this stuff is just made up by random artists, right? Like it's not one guy sitting down with a copy of Final Fantasy and going "hmm, this looks good... I'll use it for this game I'm working on!" For any major game or movie there are hundreds and hundreds of ideas for every spaceship or weapon. I mean obviously a lot of artists are influenced by other stuff that's out there and a big problem with these movies is that everyone looks at the same stuff and gets inspired by the same stuff and it gets approved by people who want something familiar so it all sort of looks the same, but nobody is straight out "lifting" anything.

If all of the artists who worked on Mass Effect actually watched Final Fantasy, that would triple its viewership.

Two little cartoony Ghostbuster cars drive past a hump-backed T-Rex that I find much easier to imagine mooing than roaring. I almost want to draw what the tyrannosaurus' skull would have to look like. Instead, have these:  Eh... okay, sure.  That dogeared upper-right corner is distracting as hell and if you didn't know who Drew Struzan was already, would this give you any idea? This would *almost* be a place where the photomontage approach would work. However...  Ouch. (Yes, this is supposedly a photomontage, not just one of the regular posters that got into a fight with Photoshop filters and lost, badly.)

Biff Rockgroin posted:Wait...correct me if I'm wrong, but reflected images don't actually appear to be 3D in real life, right? Well, yeah of course they do. Close one eye, look at something in the mirror. Move 3" to one side. The image changed slightly. The problem is flattening at a distance. If you're standing 4' from a mirror and looking at a reflection of something that's 10' behind you, it will appear to be 18' away.

This poo poo always bothered me cause the idea of this kind of photocollage is to create the original through actual frames of the movie but looking closer at it you can easily see that they recolored frames so they can match, so what's the loving point. Just post 4000 little jpegs of the actual poster.

Also if he's 'the man behind the poster' why is the picture of him in front of another picture? They didn't think their dumb visual pun through properly.

Yes, I understand that completely, but the film was actually noted by the art director as something they would look at when designing; the GUIs and the design elements of some of their spaceships would sometimes come from them looking at some of the art for the film. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/309198/bioware-mass-effect-inspired-a-lot-by-final-fantasy-film/?cid=OTC-RSS&attr=CVG-News-RSS
