Man in the High Castle, The (TV Series)

[Malak1000]

Hi All, spotted these in The Man in the High Castle, though I'd post them as ref/inspiration, and also to say that I'm gonna have a go, though I may wait to see if any better shots appear later in the series (which I'm watching at the mo!)

Intriguing. A quick Google search seems to show that Hitler was never on any paper money in real life.

What episode is that from?

 

[Malak1000]

Yeah, all over stamps, never on currency!

It's from E02, IIRC.

Another thing I've noticed is that the crappy Nazi Eagle .svg off of Wikipedia is all over that show I cringe every time I see it!

Eh. It's not terrible... the oak wreath (if that's what that is) seems a little soft, but the straight lines seem to be parallel, most of the rest of the art looks pretty sharp. Not sure how I'd feel laboring to make a really nice Reichsadler from scratch. Much faster and cheaper to simply take the vectors from Wikipedia. Which I cannot blame them for. Time is money.

I'll have a look at episode 2 soon.

I have some 720p caps of the resistance business cards & other paper stuff from the pilot at home.

You're right, it's not terrible. It's more that if you've spent any time looking at that .svg you can really, really see it! it has a very low point count that screams modern vector graphic.

All you points about time obliviously accepted. I'd just have fattened the blacks a bit first

Quickie screencap from ep. 2.

I recently got into this show and thought I'd have a go at a couple of the paper props.

Here's the first one.

This is a vector PDF of the Resistance card seen in the show, I'm not exactly sure on the size but I guess it's about 3" x 2.5".

You can either print this double sided or fold it in half and trace the message onto the back. Not sure what card stock to use, but anything cheap and thin would work well.

There are a few more props in the show I might have a crack at.

Until then, if there are any corrections or suggestions let me know.

Speaking of which...

 

[DD28]

OK here is the latest prop I have done from the show. The Visitors Pass for the Japanese Authority Building.

Print at 100% on suitable card stock, either double sided or use thinner card, fold and glue together.

Any comments, corrections etc. let me know.

Until next time.....

Next is the Phone Tap Record.

Print @ 100% on paper, I have included a blank version on page of the PDF.

Any correction, suggestions etc. let me know.

Until next time.....

Kempeitai ID card.

 

[pylorns]

Very cool, just finished the first season. digging the ID card.

 

[Mike J.]

German ID. Note that the headline is misspelled, as is "Kapitän," if that's even the correct title.

Yeah, all over stamps, never on currency!

It's from E02, IIRC.

They printed tokens with his face on them if I recall correctly.

[Brigandia36]

So, where are bank notes?

 

[Brigandia36]

I am looking for the playing cards too.

 

[Mike J.]

Where did you find those? DVD special features?

EDIT: And what do the playing cards look like?
