BTTF2 Pizza - Complete

[Roland]

Yes Roland, I still have the illustrator file don't worry, I'm just saying I saved it as a png, in case the stamp company might not have illustrator. Not sure what is the best type of file to save as when it comes to hand it to someone else hehe.

Save or export it as a PDF file. Stamp and print companies shouldn't have any problems with PDF.

Anyway, well, Roland, I've not heard from you for ages. I thought you drop the idea, and I really want the bag now xD! So I might try to give a shot and see what happens. I know you had some health problems from what I've heard, hope you're doing well x!

Sorry for my delayed response. I haven't given up the idea, but it's no problem for me, if you do the run alone without my participation or help. I'm glad that I could give you the idea. By the way: watch the junkyard tomorrow! I will start a run of another BTTF prop replica. And no, it it's not the Fantastic Story magazine yet, but another nice BTTF prop.

Regarding my health problems: I still can't lift heavy things, but I feel much better now than I did a few weeks ago.

By the way, you should join our facebook page, it might be easier for communicating eventually

Yeah, that's what I've heard over and over again from all my friends. But I still refuse to open an account on Facebook or any other social network.

OF COURSE! Why I didn't think about this, I'm silly sometimes xD!

Aww I'm sorry to hear ><! Well be safe!
And thanks! I've been scared for a min you would be mad about it, if I succeed I'll make sure to give you one free, for being so kind with me
HAN! WHAT IS IT XD! You got me all excited now hehe!

Fair enough! I understand this! Social network is evil somehow

Here is a good reference image of the bag. Maybe you can use it:

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

Yeah I have seen this one, but it makes me even more confused about the right material, what do you think? xD
Do you think one of the three i showed earlier would be good ? Or are they all wrong?
I struggled to find the right material hehe
I just want to find the best for us collectors x)

The material on your third image looks great. It's seems to be both, matte and shiny, depending on the lighting angle. That's the material that I would use for the bags. But it's difficult to say without having it in my own hands.

Go by what it looks like in the movie. It looks to me like those reference shots were taking under studio lighting and background, which means it hasn't got as much to reflect, and looks duller and less reflective than you'd expect (at least, that's my theory).

Yes this is what I was thinking about, so it should be something quite shiny then... mmh I might get the last one and have a try I guess x)

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

I was wondering too, which version would you like the most?
A sealed one? One that is cut straight (like the screen used ones) or one that had been widely open with teeth like Lorraine did xD

 

[BlobVanDam]

Bag 1 looks good to me. I'd personally probably go with a perfectly sealed bag to display behind the pizza.

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

Ok because if I want it sealed, I will probably have to buy a pressure machine to close it x)

 

[BlobVanDam]

If it's that much trouble, I'd just cut it to size, and leave the top unsealed. Then later on you could seal it if you wanted to, or just leave it.

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

I guess !

The only thing that is annoying me a bit, is I don't know how to make the straight lines of the bag, I don't know if it is bothering you guys, but I wish I could make this details, eventually get another type of bag sealer.

A sealed (=closed) bag without a pizza inside? :confused

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

I could simulate the pizza in it xD! I'm just suggesting ideas xD

I realize that seems a bit silly, although personally I'd rather a closed empty bag, than a closed bag with a pizza in it, because it would make the design a little harder to see, and wouldn't look as nice for display imo (plus you'd be wasting a pizza, even if only a basic shape of one).

That's just offering my opinion of course! You're free to display your pizza however you want, my friend.

 

[Roland]

... You're free to display your pizza however you want, my friend.

And that's what I would do: displaying two bags! One sealed bag with a (simulated?) pizza inside and one opened bag with a looking out pizza.

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

Yup this would be a good idea Roland! I think I'll get the bags next week, and see how they look in real life x)!
Then make the right measurements, and see if I can get a bicolour stamp with it

I used two stamps with permanent black and golden ink for my "Biff Co." napkins run last year. Worked great.

Wow looks fabulous! Do you have some extra ones by any chance? XD

Unfortunately no. But I still have the stamps and a lot of unprinted napkins. Just have to buy new ink. I have plans to start a second run sometime this summer.
