luke314pi Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 The Minimates Movie Poster Contest At the Fall 2005 toy show, we were treated to some great movie poster designs by Art Asylum starring minimates. The inclusion of minimates in the posters gave them a unique style that was striking and memorable. With the talent pool we have here on MMV, I know we can make some posters that are just as good or better! For this contest, you will create your own movie poster starring minimates! This poster must be based off an existing movie poster. You can find posters for almost any movie online. Some good references are imdb.com and allposters.com. You are free to create your posters using any media, including photography, hand-drawn art, and digital art. Rules: 1.) Please submit a manageable sized picture of your movie poster in this thread 2.) Please post a link to the original movie poster with your entry 3.) This must be a new creation from the start of this post. 4.) Only one entry per person. ===============================================================Dates: Entries will be accepted between now and Sunday June 24th at 11:59 PM CST. Voting begins once the Contest Gallery has been posted on June 25th and ends June 28th at 11:59 PM CST. Winners will be posted on June 29th. ===============================================================Voting: The PM Ballot system will be used for the voting. Each submitted ballot must list in order, who you feel created the best design. 1.) Best Design 2.) Second Best Design 3.) Third Best Design Anyone can vote, even the participants. If you are a participant, you cannot vote for your own entry. The 10 point minus system will be used to calculate the results. Points awarded will be as follows: 1st will get 10pts, 2nd will get 9pts, 3rd will get 8pts During the voting period, please send all PM ballots to Luke314pi ===============================================================Prizes: This contest includes some very special prizes: 1.)

Ultron plays a major role in Punisher Minimate Justice, and this minimate is identical to the one in the game. 3.) Finally, all three contest winners will have their choice of one of the following minimate packs: Colossus / Nightcrawler Punisher / Blade Spider Woman / Riot Attack Spider-Man Kitty Pryde / Beast Indiemates Box Set The first place winner will choose first, and then the second place winner, and so on. Once a prize/slot has been selected, it will not be available from the next winner. =============================================================== If you have any questions, please post them in this thread or send a PM to Luke314pi.

KGNINE Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Is it necessary to include the Minimates logo at the bottom like AA did for most of those toy show posters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Is it necessary to include the Minimates logo at the bottom like AA did for most of those toy show posters? No, that is completely optional. I would say to make it resemble the original poster as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGNINE Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Behold! I have finished: and the original: So, whaddaya guys think? Hope someone at AA/DST sees it and gets some ideas. I'm just glad I managed to finish it before someone else did their own Clockwork Orange, I can't be the only one that thought it'd be funny to see the word Kubrick on a Minimate poster.

TBT! Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Ok folks so here's my entry.... This was actually done with a a real minimate with LED's inserted to give the light sources, the only photoshop trickery is pasting it onto the background of the original poster. *Edit* I just posted some WIP pix in my custom thread. And the original poster... T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
