I loves me some Olly Moss. Just wanted to share one of his recent movie posters he did for My Neighbor Totoro. Managed to snag one of the regular versions, they're taking their sweet time getting it shipped (ordered before Christmas...), but I can't wait to get it framed: Regular  Variant  Be sure to click for big to see the Catbus in the background

Physical posted:Holy poo poo. If you like it, Mondo is selling some of them tomorrow at some point. They will post the sale link on Twitter when it goes online at a random time, usually anywhere from 10am-1pm EST. Their posters always go really fast, so my recommendation is sign up for an account on their site and get to F5ing.

I know theres a bunch of Olly Moss/Mondo poster fans here, so I wanted to make sure everyone knew that they are (finally) doing a timed poster release, so everyone that wants to buy one of these has a chance. It's $40, and you have until midnight EST tonight to order one. As an added incentive, one lucky buyer gets a "golden ticket" inserted with their order, which gives you the ability to commission Olly Moss to design you a poster of anything you want.  It's too bad I don't care much for the movie or poster, otherwise I'd be all over it just for that chance.Go here to buy: http://www.mondotees.com/The_Dark_Knight_Rises_p_535.html

Momotaros posted:There's not too many fake/counterfeit Mondo prints our there on the Internet, right? Anyone know of a good place to look for some of the older prints other than eBay? You can check out expressobeans.com but be prepared for some intense poster sperging and probably high prices. However, (briefly) joining that forum got me all kinds of knowledge on DIY archival framing and since having a bad experiencing getting my Olly Moss Totoro poster professionally framed I've turned to doing it all myself. Not that difficult and it saves you a ton of money. I even documented the process when I framed up a woodblock print recently with the intention of starting a thread somewhere about DIY framing, but that somehow fell through the cracks...

I'm all for minimalism but I just find that poster to be incredibly bland for films with such rich, beautiful imagery. Instead you just get black, grainy blahhh. You can get a good idea of what this will look like IRL by taking a look at close-ups for his Super Mario and Zelda posters, which are essentially identical in composition to these: blur city Sirotan fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Dec 12, 2012 |

I'm not particularly trying to defend my fondness of the Robocop poster, but I just want to link you the entire series that poster came from: http://omgposters.com/2010/07/31/olly-moss-2010-rolling-roadshow-poster-series/ This should make it more obvious why certain colors were used and style elements like scuff marks are also present. It looks pretty loving badass in my orange brushed alumminum frame tho.

Mondo needs to stop releasing Jurassic Park posters and finish the poster series they have already started, like Ghibli. I mean really, do we need  yet another  poster from this film? Those are all from Mondo, all in 2012.

Not taking away from Jurassic Park as it's a favorite of mine as well but I'd say they're a slam dunk on both ends from Mondo regardless of how good the actual poster is. I never said I didn't understand why they are releasing these. It's an obvious pander/money grab which is becoming more obvious as time goes by. Now I may be biased, as I own a few posters they've released, but I feel like the quality is starting to tank compared to previous years. That Ken Taylor poster is poo poo and they recently released a poster which I think is ugly as sin:  I mean, what the gently caress.

Mister Chief posted:I took like 2 months for this to arrive from Canada and then another month for me to get it framed and I still haven't gotten around to putting it up. It should be noted that the blues are closer to the image you posted than how they appear in mine. That looks incredible. Can I ask about the mat? Did you have it professionally framed or did you paint it yourself? I'd love to try doing that myself for a frame job but am not sure about the logistics.

CloseFriend posted:This seems like the best thread to ask… Do you guys have any places you recommend for buying frames online? I have a ton of film posters and now that I'm not a college student I don't feel right displaying them without frames. I'm pretty cheap when it comes to these things, so cheaper is better. Also, I have a 1' × 3' Robby the Robot poster and I cannot find a frame that size anywhere. Do yourself a favor and learn how to DIY it. After a bad experience at a professional framing place I decided to try my hand at it myself, so far its been fun and I'm saving a ton of cash. Unfortunately I've only got this one image to show you of my efforts as the rest are on my home machine. I buy a lot of my framing material from American Frame, they normally have free shipping when you spend over $75. Right now they are running a special, free shipping on orders over $40+. If you want to use plexiglass for your glazing, you can buy everything you need from them. Otherwise, buy everything but the glass and source that locally (I use Hobby Lobby). I learned how to DIY archival frame after I found the ExpressoBeans forum which is mostly a lot of people sperging about collecting art prints and movie posters. The do have a 'Framing Corner' with helpful threads and a lot of photos to give you ideas on composition. Here's some I've referenced a lot: http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80968 Frame assembly from start to finish, read first! http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=67965 More assembly, this time with no spacers. http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=62356 More of the same, with spacers and no mat. http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=62429 Learn how to 'float' a print. (I did this in my framed woodblock above.) I really liked the spacers used in many of the above threads, and ended up buying them from here: http://www.artright.com/spacers.htm Works great if you want to go mat-less.

Oh man the latest in Mondo's Ghibli movie poster series are finally going to be released at SDCC next week!!!  ...oh. I know when I think of Studio Ghibli films, my first thought is of drab doom and gloom. Seriously though, the poster for Spirited Away is so off the mark for the movie's tone, if I didn't know better I would think it was a horror film about a girl about to be murdered by a ghost. Where's the color and the life in these?Mondo has some Pacific Rim posters for SDCC too which I was excited about until I got to see them.

I'm going to go over to the Goon Market or whatever it's called and see if I can pay someone to buy it for me. They're actually only releasing them at the convention so you're SOL unless you or a proxy can be there to buy one for you. If they have leftovers they may or may not put them up for sale later. Ebay is probably your best/only option.

Paper Jam Dipper posted:Kind of interesting how minimalism is appreciated when it's a Japanese anime. Would people prefer this? I appreciate them for the aesthetic, it being anime has nothing to do with it. The fact that they maintain a consistent theme is probably why it works so well. Is the Fight Club cover even real? Because all I see is artifact city.

So basically you were asking me if I preferred bluray covers produced by the studio that made Princess Mononoke and Grave of the Fireflies to something you whipped up in a minute without much thought to composition, while also adding a little dig against anime? Minimalism isn't a dirty word you know. It's a fad right now, sure, but I've seen plenty examples of it (in this very thread) where it's been used well. Edit: Now, if you'd like to see some bad minimalism, I present to you this hot off the presses Mondo poster:  Clearly apeing the Saul Bass classic, which makes the entire exercise of creating this new one totally pointless.

tliil posted:Studio Ghibli makes great movies but those covers are pure poo poo unless you're an "enthusiast" for the films. Which is fine because they're clearly designed to sell to circlejerking fanboys, but defending them as good design is just silly. Since when does potential sales figures have anything to do with what makes a good design? Why does everything have to cater to someone unfamiliar with the media? I'm sure these releases sell well in the Japanese market anyway, which is what they are made for, since there's probably not many people there unfamiliar with the works of Studio Ghibli. And since the designs are consist and colors are vibrant, I've got them displayed prominently with my other great looking pieces of physical media, so they sure as hell give me pride of ownership. But hey I guess I found the type of person that likes the covers for the US releases. They're ugly but at least it's easy to find which movie stars Amy Poehler! Veib posted:
These are really nice. I wish the US releases just didn't have so much crap on them: Disney logos, (English) voice acting credits, huge banners reminding you is a bluray. I consisted buying them and printing my own covers or something but have just ended up buying the Japanese releases instead. They come out months/years before the US anyway.

Allen Wren posted:Side question - if this isn't a reasonable place to ask, I'll bail, but I know people in here will know - I've got a few posters I want to frame, but paying Michael's or whatever to do it will cost an ungodly amount of money. What does it actually take to frame something so it can go up on the wall and stop sitting on top of my bookshelf? After a bad experience at a framers (don't let anyone ever tell you drymounting is ok, kids) I decided to start doing my own DIY conservation framing. It's really easy and you'll save yourself a bunch of money over a 'professional', plus I find it to be a really rewarding hobby. If you want to use a mat: The most basic method is going to be to use mounting strips (I would recommend these, they are conservation quality: http://smile.amazon.com/Lineco-Through-Archival-Mounting-Strips/dp/B000KNNIQU/). Don't use tape or anything else that you can't reverse. Depending on how much of the poster/print that you want to cover up with the mat, you can attach the mounting strips directly to your backing board of choice (I generally just buy 1/8" acid free foam). If your mat is right to the edge of the poster you flip your mat and print over and attach the mounting strips to the backside of the mat instead, so that you won't see the edges of the strips in your finished piece. If you don't want to use a mat: You don't ever want to have your artwork directly touching your glazing, over time it will stick and you'll ruin it. You can get a frame that is the exact same size as the print (plus 1/8" for expansion), and use a spacer to hold everything in place securely without meeting a mat. Check out these different kind of spacers: http://www.artright.com/our-online-shop/art-picture-framing-supplies-hardware-bulk/art-framing-picture-frame-spacers-archival.html I like the FrameSpace the most, you can buy it in clear and then paint or use a colored mat on the inside of the spacer to give it a really nice accent. You can also get them in varying depths depending on the look you want. You just need to cut them to size, attach to the mounting board, and then slide it into the frame. For frames and other materials, I use American Frame (http://www.americanframe.com/) pretty frequently. You can buy acrylic glazing from them too if you want, or I would recommend Hobby Lobby for glass. If you have a big budget, TruVue Museum Glass is the absolute best you can get. It will filter 99% of UV rays, and has a non-glare coating that is so good, most of the time you won't be able to tell there is any glass in front of your art. Its expensive though, probably 3x as much as the next level down, TruVue Conservation Clear. This will block 99% UV, but will have more glare (see manufacturer's example here, this is an accurate representation in my experience). Depending on your lighting situation, it could be fine, but I've had to swap out the glass on a piece before to put in Museum Glass instead. If you go to Hobby Lobby you can use their weekly 40% off coupon on the glazing, which is the best pricing I've ever found on it. I would not recommend Michael's for any framing services or products. Once you've got your frame assembled, use a point gun (for wood frames) or springs (for metal frames) to hold it all in place. You can then use some doubled sided tape and attached craft paper to seal it all up from dust. Add your bumpers and frame wire and you are good to go. Happy to answer any other questions about framing if you have any. Sirotan fucked around with this message at 16:18 on May 15, 2016 |

Doctor Teeth posted:I work for a site that auctions movie posters/lobby cards/stills/etc. It's fun reading this thread and seeing which posters are going to be consigned to us in ~5 months time. drat, wish you had posted this a couple months ago. I've wanted to get my hands on a specific Zardoz poster for a while, but almost everything that comes up on Ebay is way out of my price range or previously folded. Then maybe a month ago I was seeing listings for a "studio authorized" reprint of the same image and snatched it up. Bunch of different legit poster sites had it and based on the images in the listings it looked great. Once I actually got it and unrolled it I could see it was just someone who was printing copies of one of the previously folded originals, the crease lines are clearly visible in the repro. It only cost me ~$19 but I'm still kinda pissed off about it.

Doctor Teeth posted:I'm curious, did they show the original (and try to hide the fact that it was folded) and mail a repro or did they show the repro and claim it was an authorized reprint? Studio restrikes are sometimes a thing (The Shining has one from the mid-80s I believe that is sometimes sold an original), but they are usually made using the same designs/equipment as the original. Here's the listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zardoz-Movi...p0AAOSwpDdVN4GH and here is what the original looks when folded:  I didn't realize it before buying but you can see in the image of the reproduction evidence of some fold lines, especially on the left side of the face of the stone head. Just about any site that sells movie posters seems to have this specific one for sale so maybe it is truly a studio authorized reproduction. That or whoever is bootlegging it has some serious volume.

I'm probably in the minority for thinking the Blade Runner poster is cool as heck, to the point that I almost bought one when it came out. They're screen prints on foil paper. This came from a private group commission, which seems to be A Thing now in the poster community, the gold is an edition of 50 I think. The artist is Krzysztof Domaradzki.

Maxwell Lord posted:Getting it made is one thing, the question is more why it was put into wide release instead of targeting smaller art house crowds who would be more likely to "get it". Mother! really isn't a subtle movie at all, I think most viewers with half a lobe are going to "get it" and walk away pretty clear on the themes and allusions Aronofsky shoves down your throat, especially in the last 30min of the film. I think the harder question to answer is why did they try to market it as a horror film?
