Bourne Identity Red Bag contents

This is shaping up to be a real treat Adam, I can't wait until it's finished.

And the photoshop hits keep on coming.
Here's (on the right) the real phone card, incredibly found and posted a few pages ago on this thread, and to the right is my photoshop reconstruction of it.
I'm pretty happy with it. Much better than my previous attempt.
Like always, I imported the original, and basically traced over it, layering photos, backgrounds, text and shapes until I had something that resembled. I get really good results that way. You might have to resize this yourself.
 
Not good enough! I re-worked it, making the towers taller and adding some "city" in the background (couldn't find the correct angle on Notre Dame).
Here's the newest. It's MUCH closer to the original. Thinking I'll print two copies, and cut the smartcard chip from one so that it shows underneath.

Adam, so sorry for the delay in finding this, especially after the amazing (and hard) work you did, but how abouts the real photo instead? :cool

Perfect! How'd you find it? Here's the NEW final and corrected version (with correct picture and everything) Who wants to supply me with a sample back of a Télécarte phone card?

Looks great!

Another board member actually found this while working with me on a similar project 2 or 3 years ago. I'm honestly not sure where he came across it on the Internet. I was very impressed, to say the least!
 
These weren't in the bag but should have been. The half dollar is a bit conspicuous since they aren't carried as often as the U.S. quarter is but it's pretty cool none the less and seems like something Bourne might carry.

Adam, I know that this is not from the same sort of Telecarte card, but I am pretty sure it would look like this on the back,
telecarte2.gif


It has some info on Keller and some telecarte info. I am pretty sure this what they look like... but maybe it would have some Notre dame info on the back?

dug up another version...

Well in 8 min i found over 12 pics of the back so here is one more,

I received the MacHasp dongles yesterday and they're perfect. An exact match right down to the type. Thank you RPF!
Also made a set of very respectable creditcard and phone card analogs yesterday:
I printed both sides on photopaper, and used super 77 spray glue to attach them to each other.
Then (this is still prior to cutting them out to the exact credit card shape) I laminated them. THEN I cut them out of the laminate, (I photoshopped crop marks into the file to make this easier) and for good measure ran the cut card through the laminator.

it wouldn't fool any cashier, but as a prop it's awesome. I'll post pix soon.
 
Man, if you need one of those lens cases, just let me know I get one every time I go to Sam's club and buy cleaning solution. Opti-Free puts one in every two pack of cleaning solution. I have a couple of spare and will likely have another spare next week. I always take backup lenses when diving, but jeez, enough of these cases laying about.

I'm good on the cases, though there may be others here who want. I'm waiting on delivery of some cufflinks and a keyring and my collection will be pretty much complete.
 
Amazingly, mere SECONDS after I wrote that last reply, a keychain arrived to my desk at work and it's the real deal. like I said, there are a lot of corporate branded ones like this out there, but the original is called the

That is so funny. That is EXACTLY how I made my credit cards for my Die Hard wallet. It does work well enough.

Someone would make a killing if they could make prop credit cards from movies like the Bourne Identity, Die Hard, James Bonds, etc...

Adam, can you take a pic of all your aquired bag contents laid out just like the screen caps?

True 'dat. I'd also love to see finished pics!
 
Threw some scrap 1/8" acrylic on the table saw, estimated the size, and threw some green felt to make a "drawer" akin to the film one. Total time: about 10 minutes.
Here's where I am. Missing the black pen with the silver grip and gold top. Awaiting the Uni Ball Needlepoint. Needing a better pocket knife. Other than that we're super close!
Far right is an actual screenshot. Not bad with an iphone.

I think my drawer may be too big. Has anyone done a detailed analysis of the size of the Stainless Steel bank box?
 
As far as making your own raised-letter credit cards, here's what I've learned:

Apparently all that's needed to make movie-quality excellent credit card replicas is a Zebra color PVC card printer (between 600 and 2k) and a PVC hand embosser (available on ebay for about 400 bucks) for the raised numbers and letters.
A bit more than I'm prepared to spend for a few cards.
 
Adam, I think your post count has doubled since you started this thread. :lol

But if you want to make these credit cards you should invest in 2 things:

1) PVC card printer $800-$1500
2) OVC card number/letter embosser $200-$300
