MeddlingMonk Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 It's a nice thought, but dicey copyright-wise. Just having the poster scanned is in a grey area (is it or is it not fair use?); receiving payment for having done so, even it's just to break even, is a definite tilt toward the dark side.
Frenkieee Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Awaiting the poster, I had a project of my own. I received a gift certificate that I could use for various purposes. One was getting a picture painted on canvas. The rest wasn't very useful, so Grim Fandango on canvas it had to be! Here's the result. The first picture is the canvas (30x40cm) on the table by daylight, the second is the canvas hanging up on the wall. I just took the second pictre and because the light isn't very good, I had to use the flash on my cellphone when taking the picture, which causes the picture to come out a bit nasty, but whatever.
Virtureal Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I'm willing to pool in on the scan part too, if it is scanned with a high resolution that is. If we can't get it proffesionally reprinted from the scan, then it's useless. I really like the poster though, all the details making it look like a movie; fantastic!
JagJedi Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Frenkieee, That turned out awesome! That was a really good idea.
the late D. Hurley Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Awaiting the poster, I had a project of my own. QFT, same here Terrible lighting, but this is the result
MeddlingMonk Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Looks pretty good (except for it being a big, shiny panel on the shirt but I expect a screen print costs). But wouldn't Olivia be more appropriate? If you could find/create a high-resolution image of her, that is.
the late D. Hurley Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I was trying to extract some from the cutscenes, didn't turn out too well when I tried the montage in photoshop.
CHAOSMAN Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 posted is original one sheet movie poster size so 27 x 40. I am still on it dont worry guys. I will make sure to have it high quality scanned as well. As far as I know am I one of the only people to have this poster. I haven't even seen this in Tim's office at double fine studios
Frenkieee Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 27x40 inch, or cm? In the case of this being in cm, I'd be a bit disappointed because I figured it would be bigger.. nonetheless, I'm still looking forward to this getting scanned
CHAOSMAN Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 inches of course! its movie postedstyle sized and themed
stewlil Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Eagerly await I would put in money but I'm a poor student now.
Lespleen Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 I would support this project with money easily! anywhere we can give donations.
CHAOSMAN Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 I went to a few print shops this past weekend and none of them were able to scan a poster this big if anyone knows any print shops in southern california please let me know. For now I will keep searching
Longcat Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Glad to hear you are still working on it:) In my country, most universities have printshops with bigass equipment, but I don't know about California... Good luck:)
MeddlingMonk Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 I went to a few print shops this past weekend and none of them were able to scan a poster this big What sort of places are you looking at as far as print shops? Places like Kinko's/FedEx Office? If so, maybe you should look into some that are more like graphic designers than SOHO-oriented.
CHAOSMAN Posted April 29, 2010 Author Posted April 29, 2010 just fyi poster was scanned and sent to Laserschwert hopefully he will have it up for everyone soon!
Longcat Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Oh, wow! Thank you so much CHAOSMAN! It warms my heart to see that so many people have such a great community feeling and still love GF. Much appreciated:)
MeddlingMonk Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Our long (inter)national nightmare is now over. Almost.
Virtureal Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 That is absolutely fantastic! I am really looking forward to seeing this on my wall. Thank you so much Chaosman !
the late D. Hurley Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 already have a spot reserved for that poster, and the frame is ready too ^^ anxiously waiting for laserschwerts finished work. Kudos and a thousand thanks to Chaos ^^
Virtureal Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 He said it needed lots of cleaning, but I suppose he could be working on anything
