Night At The Musaum instructions

[Ramsey]

Here's one I'm starting to work on...so far only have this pic (from the official website of the movie..not sure just how screen-accurate it is) and a few screencaps from the DVD I took last night.
By the way...anyone recognize the font? I'm almost certain it's a relatively common one.

That makes two of us! My nephew loved that movie.

The font looks like Apple Chancery to me.
Should be a fun project, good luck.

Yep, Kurgan's right...it's Apple Chancery.

WOW this is great!! i've had this project on the back burner for a while. heres my post about it. its got all the info i was able to collect.

Does anyone have that font or know where to get one?

 

[Ramsey]

Ok, for anyone else who may not have the font in the system, here is a site where you just type in what you want it to say and it spells it out in Apple Chancery.

Sure, it'll make for a bit more work in piecing the lines together, but I can't seem to find the font anywhere. I've found a few free fonts to download that are similar, but this one is exact and I'd rather be as accurate as possible.

Re: Night At The Museum instructions

I have the font on my Mac at work. If you want to give me the copy, I'd be happy to type it for you and send it over - either as a bitmap or as outlined text. Let me know if I can help!

Every Friday night is a game night or popcorn/movie night at our house. For tonight, we will watch this movie, have the popcorn out, big screen going and kids in their sleeping bags in the family room to catch the show late.

I just copied the pic above into publisher, printed it on some brown bag paper, added more sheets, cut the combination section and taped it, stapled anotherprinted copy under the first page, made the tears and curled the edges and then red/blued inked the letters that are colored. I have a copy to throw to the kids tonight as they are watching the movie on our big screen.

The Museum of Natural History at Exposition park in Los Angeles has all the key props on display, including the instructions. The instructions on display in the museum differ slightly from in the pic above, mostly in the hand written notes.

Anyone notice how they spelled crustecean!? Contact the IMDB!

I tried this nd it works to some degree. But it pastes it into my dcument as a text box, and I cannot edit it further from there. SO I can't seem to alter the font color...

There should be an option for what color to the text should be.
I have used it before.

I'll take a second look. I didn't spen too much time with it...

Ok, I have noticed at least one difference from the picture I submitted at the start of this thread (the one from the official website of the movie) and the screenshot image posted above by SurferGeek....next to the #4, the pic I posted has the words "keep on" a bit further right than the word "target" below it, and the word ""and" is dropped below...while on the actualy screenshot image "keep on" is lined up with "target" and the word "and" is next to "target" while "be" is dropped below. So apparentlly there are some minor differences from the official website image and the screen prop...there may be more..I'm still looking it over.

May have a lead on this one... Stand by...
