HA HA, Man, My pleasure!

That poster is so awesome. What, how did you come up with that? Seriously... I'd love to hear what the creative process was for your poster. It is spectacular!

Here ya go Ted -

it's less creative than you think.

The background image i bought for 1 dollar off of istockphoto.com, brought it in to photoshop, and increased the saturation and contrast to make it look like it is now.

The red, white and blue accents on the top are brushes that I downloaded for photoshop, a set called "grunge corners".

The text on the bottom is called "movie poster" and I found it on 1001freefonts.com.

The title "ride along" is a font called "invisible killer" i believe, and was also found on 1001freefonts.com. Be wary of that site, cause you will spend and hour looking at fonts and not even know it. To get the "mirror" or "looking glass" effect on the text, I simply used photoshop's "free transform" tool and pulled the top straight down past the bottom, so it was reversed the way it is now. After that, i applied a gradient to it so that it looks like it disappears.

So there are all my big photoshop secrets.
 
Ben, just saw your banner when you posted in my thread & thought I'd check this out. LOVE the poster, and the title grabs me because I've been on dozens of ridealongs ... though I've also been referred to as the ridealong curse, because it's always been slow as snot when I'm along for the ride ... ZERO action, lol. Just my luck.

Anyway, looking forward to your film!
 
wow, dozens? we could use you as a reference for ridealongs. lol. Any particular reason for all of them or do you just like to feel like your "on the beat"?
 
My best friend of 8 years or so was an officer, as well as #2 entry man on the metro SWAT, etc. So it was just a fun opportunity to hang out, try & find bad guys, etc. I was also on the hiring list for a few years, testing & placing quite high ... then when the rubber met the road, I decided that being a police officer really wasn't my dream, and I'd prefer to just play one sometime on screen instead. :) So I pulled myself out of the hiring process several years back.
 
love the picture in the poster... dont really like the font for the title, but, eh... looking forward to this! don't get in trouble with those cops... we had some problems with ours!!
