There is an interesting contest that unfortunately ends today where people can submit their ideas for a film poster for a movie that never existed, but models itself as a parody on B movies.
JohnLennon15 submitted a poster for a fake film titled “I Married Lizzie Borden.” It is pretty imaginative and well done (see below). I think it might win as it seems to me to be the best of the entries.
Here are the rules:
Yes, it’s B-Movie time! Your goal? To create a convincing poster for one of those enjoyable B-Movies (or lower down the alphabet).
Sound’s simple? Well, we’re going to make it even more challenging! Your goal is NOT to mock films, not to parody them – your goal is to take a randomly generated B-Movie title and make a poster that is as believable as possible for the movie you’ve imagined!
Here’s what you do!
* Go to the B-Movie Generator and generate a title you want to do the poster of.
Now, when you do this poster, you also have to include the following on your entry at the site it’s hosted at:
* The year it was made.
* A summary of the plot and characters.
* Any other extra detail to make it more believable.So if your fake picture is from the 70′s, the poster is going to be in a different style than say, the 90′s or the 50′s. This also gives you a chance to find a style that fits your artistic skills and interests, from the cut-and-paste oddness of grindhouse posters to some of the strange and lush art of the 70′s and more!
A few resources to help those of you looking to do a blast from the past:
* Some 1970′s posters.
* Some 1960′s posters.
* Some 1950′s drive in posters.So go on, let’s see what kind of wonderfully cheese films you can create – that never were.
I found this on Craigslist.org. Interesting place to advertise a lecture! I must remember this avenue of marketing!
I have seen Chris’ presentation when he presented it in Tiverton, RI, at the public library. He filled the room and there was standing room only. If you are in the Charlestown area you should see this presentation.
Here is a link to the Charlestown Library.
And here is a link to the event.
