Post your posters

[Shawn Philip Nelson]

Alright, lets make a really useful thread...

As a filmmaker I dove into the whole DSLR craze because I wanted the ability to make my own posters. So, I want everyone who has made a movie poster using shots from a still camera to post their poster and also what it took to make it.

Here is my first.
Setup: White muslin high key backdrop with two open face 650w lights set between the subject and backdrop and pointed at the backdrop, then an Arrisoft2000 light with only 1000w engaged pointed at the subject.
Camera: 20D with 85mm prime lens from a distance of approx 8 ft.
Post: I crushed the whites and removed the backdrop. I did a gradient grey background with a spotlight effect added and a faint outlining filter.

All photographic elements were taken with my little old Fuji S602Zoom fixed lens 3MP camera... I used the 6MP interpolated TIFF mode. The kids and background elements were taken at seperate times and photoshopped together. The boot in the water is 100% real with only minor color tweaks.

The images in the puzzles pieces are frame grabs from the movie, so they are DVX frames.

Shot a few nights ago with my D50 and my 55-200mm Nikkor lens.

This one is a combo of HVX (the photographs) and Canon Rebel XT (The toy soldier) as well as pure photoshop elements in the background.

Both pictures in the poster are shot with the Nikon D70s with stock lens. Lit with a 500w workinglamp and a 300w PAR-can.

School project.

I like the image, but your typography could use some more work. As is stands now it detracts from the powerful image. The Courier-esque typeface doesn't have any weight behind it. I would suggest using a bold sans typeface, maybe make the parts of the words that don't spell out the vertical Life as a bold oblique style, then make the vertical Life roman. Maybe think about ways to play with contrasting weight/form to reinforce the contrast of your image.

Overall, great job on the image.
