Finished Marquee - Page 10

Thank you dachavez - somehow I missed that....D'oh. PM Sent....actually I think I sent 2 PM's....D'oh again....

I sent a pm also. I really appreciate the help. It is very nice of you to take your time to help us out.

As soon as I pick one from the two dachavez created for me, I'll post a few pics.

Thanks dachavez !!!

Thanks dachavez. The file looks PERECT!

Awfully kind of you to offer but like with many of the things in these forums, I really want to learn how-to-do-it . It'll take me forever and I may just give up in the long run but I must like pain or something...

PS If I don't figure it out by the Fall, I'll probably beg here.

Scott, I just sent you an e-mail. Thanks again!

dachavez - I sent you another PM. I'd like to change the name of my theater and get the file edited. Thanks.

Here's mine-

I did a slight alteration since I actually have two theaters, my indoor and outdoor ht's, so instead I added photos of them in place of the logos.

Hello???? dachavez???? ANYONE????

I need to get a marquee edited, final change this time..... someone help please!!!

Nice personal touches!! Looks great!

I have had a play with a bit of vector art I found and put one of a choice of characters in the ticket boot, Mario, Bugs Bunny, Tweety Pie, Porky or Burger Time. I have attached an example with Mario waiting to give you your ticket, hopefully attached. Unfortunately I forgot I had these and have already sent mine off for printing.

Mario is much better than a dog. I mentioned a while back, I'd like to see a pic of a celebrity in the booth. Since we are talking cartoons, what about a Pixar character or other cartoon character?

Oh yeah, now you just need to get one of those voice activated mechanisms and use Mario's voice.

Is there anyone out there who is still helping the needy/clueless with the marquee image? I bought the Michael's shadowbox and the lights, but I've got no image. PM me if you can help thanks.

To further expand on this great thread and also being the proud owner of this cool marquee...I was curious if anyone has seen the Concession signage that has also been posted in this forum?? Was curious if a similiar sign could be made for somewhat less cost...using the same Michaels frame (or even larger depending on sign) I guess the first obastacles in the way would be acquiring the proper fonts for use in Photoshop correct? Here is the link to the thread in this forum:

Would love to hear comments thoughts etc!

I did a simple concession sign, but it's not backlit, although no reason it couldn't be if printed on the right stuff. If anyone wants the Photoshop files, feel free to PM me.



Bud

Very nice China Dog!

I would like the psd chinadog

Thanks pcdoctor! zductive, send me a PM with your email address so I can send it to you.

Bud

Great work Chinadog. I'd like the Photoshop file if still available, but the site shows you are not accepting PMs.

Gary

Wow very nice pics Chinadog Looks very nicely done....I especially like the hot buttered popcorn art that you have in both signs....I would love to have the .psd file as well...That is if you don't mind...Looks like I will have to figure out the right frame size that would be most fitting as well....What size frames did you use for yours? I like the size of the Blazing Ridge Cinema sign, that size looks just right...

Thanks again for the quick replies everyone!

Not accepting PMs? Hmmm.

Bud

OK, I think I've got that fixed. Fire away the PMs with your email addresses.

Bud

The sign is 24"x36", but you can change that obviously. FYI, I made the frame too, so if you change it, you just create a new frame or try to adjust the size to a one of those Michael shadow box sizes. Also, the guy at Kinkos said I was breaking copyright laws because of the logos, but explained to him that it was for my personal home theater and I wasn't selling it, then he was OK with it.

Bud

WOW, for those prices, I'll start coming to your house to watch movies....

Nice work chinadog.


Curious - did you create the frame for the snacks yourself or did you just add shelves to a shadowbox? If you added shelves, what did you use (size of wood, how did you secure it, and is it just a display with empty boxes)?

Thanks. Built the shelf myself with extra wood I had from my bar I built. I just picked a size that fit the wall right and used a shelf width based on a couple boxes of candy. All the candy is real candy, not a display (I have kids ... with friends).

To secure it to the wall, I used an extra piece of wood across the back, drilled through it and attached it using wall anchors. You can see it a little bit better here:

As far as theater accessories go, here is a folder of pictures with all the stuff I worked on so far:

Wonder if this version of the ticket booth would get old. Note: this Barbie doll is about 40 years old now!

Hey, that's a cool idea!
She don't look bad for 40...she have a sister?
