Film Paintings and Maps. Resource.......

[TazVader]

G'day folks,

I was in the printers the other day and was amazed at some of their canvas prints. Reproductions of famous art at full size. Really nice.

I've been trying for years to get a Vigo the Carpatian print going, but noone ever seems to be able to get a pic when they're at ILM.

I'd love to work on a POTC3 map . . .that thing's nuts!!!

GOOD call on GB II......I loved that. I bet we have some talented photoshoppers that could do it. Printed on canvas.YUM! Full size would be a little scary though......

Full size it will be scary... HUGE!
But cool nonetheless!

Re: Paintings and maps......What's Iconic???

Well, when I think of "iconic" it usually brings up a few requirements.
1) The movie has to be a classic.
2) The prop has to have a pretty good shot in the film.

I would include the Skull Island map from the original 1933 King Kong- The film is a classic, and the map has a pretty good close up shot in the movie.

I always wanted the Biff "Trump" painting from BTTF part 2.

I'd like to see Dorian Gray's from LOEG

Well, I can easily take a pic of myself in the same clothes and print it on canvas... I don't know why, but in the poster he looks exactly like me! (unfortunately I think he looks better in real life!:lol)

Re: Paintings and maps......What's Iconic???

All of the maps (and pretty much anything else on paper and even the script used for the ring itself) for the LotR films were done by a New Zealand artist named Daniel Reeve. Daniel’s a friend of mine and one hell of a talented cartographer and calligrapher. He’s devised all sorts of techniques for staining paper to create any kind of parchment you can think of. Check out his website at danielreeve.co.nz to see some of his stuff. He also did the cartography for Peter Jackson’s King Kong and the Narnia films among others.

The first time I met him, he did a custom invitation to Bilbo’s 111th birthday for me. Great stuff!

Don't forget the Third Trial Painting hanging in Henry Jones house. The knight walking across the crevasse towards the grail.

All good calls folks. Can't believe I forgot the Indy stuff lol

This will turn into quite a good reference for people wanting to stock their walls I think. Or choosing something to replicate even

I got his folded middelearth maps. Very nice maps, I like to have the unfolded pergament maps, but these are cool too...

I'm partial to the Sally Jupiter poster that gets smashed in the Comedian's fight scene, from the Watchmen movie.

But then again, I'm biased.

Well, when I think of "iconic" it usually brings up a few requirements.
1) The movie has to be a classic.
2) The prop has to have a pretty good shot in the film.

It should also need no explanation, or a very minimum one.

Re: Paintings and maps......What's Iconic???

Map from Romancing the Stone
Map of entire Middle Earth as seen at the beginning of the first movie
Map of the Pipeworks from Ember

That's all I can think of now.

Hey buddy!

Don't forget the McQuarrie painting of the Ark of the Covenant as seen in his huge book!

Re: Paintings and maps......What's Iconic???

I have a Time Bandit's map and a 33 Kong.
I made the Kong map with acrylic paint for the lines and coffee for the shading.

Didn't have brown ink, besides the coffee makes it more authentic. :lol
