Preserved Topic: ***APRIL 2003 SIG CONTEST: Movie themes***

Well, lets see, i thought this would be interesting.

Sigs that incorperate a movie theme.

It's upto you if you wish to name the movie in your sig, but maybe more fun for people to try and guess from the work you produce.

IDEAS COULD INCLUDE: The DeLorian from "back To The Future", Jason from " Friday the 13th" or perhaps a set of dogtags from "Platoon", the choice is yours.

Normal rules apply, no re-cycles, blah blah blah...

GOOD LUCK !

Awww... man... You just had to mention the DeLorean... I wa gonna do that with surprise too. Eh, I have better ideas (I think) anyways. BTW, good choice on topic, it's original.

This must be my calling in life...

Before we get any further into this, I'd like to quote something I posted in the last contest...

I hate to barge in like this, especially when I'm not contributing anything, but there is no need to post here just to say that you're going to be participating. If you are going to participate, then do so and submit a sig. We don't need to hear about your intention to join. We also don't need to hear about how cool you think the idea is. If it is such a cool idea, make a sig!

[Edit: It's just that we usually get a spate of posts like this at the beginning of every contest. Damien, this was not necessarily directed at you, so don't take it personally.]

[This message has been edited by Suho1004 (edited 04-03-2003).]

Eh... hehehe ^_^;... I think I'll just refrain from posting until I have an entry then. I know you said it's not directed at me, but now I feel guilty.
-=Kenneth=-

*points to damien*

*looks at own post*

Screwing with tradation again eh Suho?

Hey fellow cellmates,

An obscure movie, yes... But one that I am sure is close to many an inmate in here as I am positive this is what they are serving us in the cafeteria.

Damn, I am really enjoying this topic. There is no limit to entries, are there?

"The door seems to be jammed. Please check the lock on your side."

Ok, last one for tonight, I promise...

Tonight ? lol it's 1 Am in my time

Great entries Jung, I like them very much. I know well the movies but however I still can't find from which one this comes from.

[This message has been edited by Moon Shadow (edited 04-05-2003).]

ok....here's mine. just quickly threw something together.

[This message has been edited by Lacuna (edited 04-05-2003).]

Thats cool Lacuna, and I really like your first one Jung, but I have no idea what movie it came from?

~cfb!

^heh.

It's from Soylent Green, cfb. It's a bit old, but googling for it should prove interesting. I stand by my statement that McDonald's Big'n'Tasty patties are people

Oh...HEHE...Thanks.

I figured that the Soylent Green label on the container was supposed to be a chemical of some kind

Thanks

PS: I googled it...The movie sounds interesting enough to rent.

My contribution.

Just checking the other background... And yes, that's me. No painting though, just a photograph.

mahjqa: excellent as always

Really nice Mahjqa. I like your pic

[This message has been edited by Jung (edited 04-06-2003).]

While I'm a great believer in keeping the sig to chatter ratio as high as possible I'd like to ask if I'm the only one who can't see Jung's sigs? I thought it was my dark monitor settings but it isn't and I grabbed the URL and while the file appears to be there it doesn't show an image.

[edit: to clarify I can't see any of his sigs]

[This message has been edited by Emperor (edited 04-06-2003).]

I'm seeing his first two... and only a portion of the third.
I tried following the URL as well... and it wasn't of help.

odd.
I'm seeing all of them now.

[edit: btw, nice sig Mahjqala Leegonai Danko]

[This message has been edited by Michael (edited 04-06-2003).]

Ok, you guys getting tired of my sigs yet? It's just that I am a REALLY big movie buff and this is a great topic! If I am starting to annoy just let me know and I can stop...

For those unable to view them I am not sure what is wrong as I have tried 4 different computers, 2 different dial-ups, 1 ASDL, and a number of browsers (Netscape, Opera, I.E.), and see them on all... Anyone else can help?

No, nothing wrong with your sigs, Jung. It's always good to see enthusiasm. And you're far less annoying than us putzes who come in here just to yell at people.

Another day, another sig...

Can anyone tell it's pretty slow here in the Philippines? Between the war in the middle east and SARS I feel like we are stuck between Iraq and a hard place over here.

One more for today. A real small one but I like the concept.

I'm more of an idea man. Wish I had the talent of mahjqa to realize my visions. His work truly humbles me...

Very nice stuff Jung - no problem posting so many =)

The only criticism I can offer is that they are all rather large - sometimes that works, but in a lot of these cases they could be about half the size and stil be as effective.


[no sigs]

[This message has been edited by Emperor (edited 04-07-2003).]

This is my first entry ever for the sig contests.



Humm...This looked a lot better on my computer at work, oh well.
It came from this picture... Alley

[This message has been edited by Gilbert Nolander (edited 04-08-2003).]

Do you think maybe we should put a limit on the number of sigs one can contribute? Cuase Jung seems to be churning them out...and he's taking up valuable movies that others could be doing.

No.

You could always repeat a movie.

Certainly no limit.

Well, if other people want to make sigs for those movies, I guess they better get their asses moving.

=)

i believe that it's first in, best dressed.

...unless, of course, you're michael, in which case your sig makes me believe that you are far from best dressed, but i digress.

Yah...But really, whats the problem with repeating a movie. I mean, I know that Trainspotting is right up there on many peoples favorite movie lists. I was thinking about doing one, and I'm about 99% sure that Michael, and everyone else here, wouldn't care if someone else did a Trainspotting sig; or a Soylent Green sig.

I'm doing a Fight Club sig, and, if someone else submitted one after I submitted mine, would anyone care? I'm pretty sure not.

speaking of fight club, who had the bar of soap sig? tyron? tycho? i dunno. that was pretty cool.



[This message has been edited by reitsma (edited 04-08-2003).]

I don't think there should be a limit on the number of sigs as we shouldn't stiffle creativity and Jung is on a roll, however, I still can't see ony of Jung's sigs and I want to have a rule introduced that says only sigs I can actually see can be included.

And urmmmmmmm nice dress their Michael its purdy

I guess that any Fight Club sig is gunna include a bar of soap, huh? =)

I mean, it's pretty much the icon of the movie.

And nice for sig material.

Maybe a little small, but...


...edit - for the benefit of Mr Kite, it's inspired by 'The Thing'.

[This message has been edited by Dufty (edited 04-08-2003).]

so hope it works fine. take care about the T



edit: got some work to do right :-/


try2: goddamn transparency *uff*

try3: i'll post it later

one more try:

Here is mine :



Ok I know it is weird, but it's better than the previous times (I hope). I don't have yet enough skill to make something that fit well together. Anyway, I guess you know from where it comes from.

[This message has been edited by Moon Shadow (edited 04-08-2003).]

Ok, I tried resizing these sigs and whilke I agree they look more like a sig, I think you lose some detail. I tried resizing the soylent green sig and you just couldn't see what it was so I left that one as is.

I truly value the opinions on this forum as there is so much talent here it boggles the mind. So, what do you all think? Better?






Try 2 ===> Ok, what is going on?

Try 3 ===> Dang, this editing messages with UBB code is weird. Much prefer HTML!

Try 4 ===> AHHH! Limited number of images per post. Why didn't it tell me that in the first place and not keep editing the UBB code? Very strange...

[This message has been edited by Jung (edited 04-08-2003).]

And the other new one today at original size:

Ok...this one sprang to mind in the middle of the night.

edit: crap...bad transparency...
edit2: Let's try that again:



Yes...I know it's a bit big...but I'm down to the minimum readable size for this font...I'll do what I can to alter the size...

Too bad my name doesn't show up on the bomb at this size, oh well.

[This message has been edited by jstuartj (edited 04-08-2003).]

This isn't actually a movie, but it is out on video now, so maybe it qualifies:

I love Skaarjj's sig...

OK...Luxo gave me heaps of movies...I think I'm gonna try and beat Jung's record and do as many fo the mas Ican...here's the next one (PS...tell me to stop if you think it's obnoxious)

Ok, my first sig contest entry... here goes!



I didn't necessarily want the background blue, I would have preferred transparency, but as a gif, the flash behind it didn't look right. Any suggestions for that? Email me if you don't want to disrupt the contest thread...

Bodhi - Cell 617

[This message has been edited by bodhi23 (edited 04-10-2003).]

Let's try this...



Anybody seen the movie? (Donnie Darko)
[This message has been edited by Lucid Iguana (edited 04-10-2003).]

[This message has been edited by Lucid Iguana (edited 04-11-2003).]

I still like Skaarj's .

-- no sigs unless competing, thanks. --

[This message has been edited by reitsma (edited 04-10-2003).]

the truth is out there.... uh.... in there... whatever.

[This message has been edited by reitsma (edited 04-11-2003).]

One more...

X-Dreamer, I really love your sig, I wish you would make it look more as though your skin was cut and the bones are behind the skin. I was going to do something like it . Anyways, now that you've already done your terminator sig, I'll just enter this one.



I'm planning on animating it.

[This message has been edited by InSiDeR (edited 04-10-2003).]

i'm sorry for that :-/

two things:

insider: that looks really good. the ring looks fantastic, well done.


and on my sig: in case you don't realise it, you're supposed to highlight it. i had a transparent version somewhere, let's see if i can find it...

<edit>sig, sig, go away...</edit>

[This message has been edited by reitsma (edited 04-11-2003).]

reitsma, that's just cool.

Another entry...

Haven't made any sigs in a while, but I just couldn't resist this topic!

Lucid, I've seen Donnie Darko! That movie is one of my favorites now.

Awesome. Here's another!



[This message has been edited by Lucid Iguana (edited 04-12-2003).]

Hehehehe, this was just a quick one... ehehehehehe....

[This message has been edited by Wolfen (edited 04-12-2003).]

Ok, this is my favorite so far. Although my nick is pronounced with a hard J and not like the Famous Doctor, I find it ironic that Gene Wilder's character also had trouble with the pronunciation of his name. That and I love a good pun...

"So why isn't it Frohderick Frohnkenstein?"





[This message has been edited by Jung (edited 04-12-2003).]

Here's my submission. I've only been using Photoshop for about a month so I don't have anything very complicated. The writting is the original language from the inscription on the One Ring from Lord of the Rings.





[This message has been edited by Rauthrin (edited 04-12-2003).]

Testing other background.

hehehehe here's another




[This message has been edited by Lacuna (edited 04-12-2003).]

Jung: Did you make that?

Jung, I'm really diggin' that last one, but the white border around the text kills it.. Can't tell if its bad aliasing or maybe a 1px border that got scaled down slightly. The animation is tight though, I'm thinking about maybe animating the dust on mine. I dunno if any of you even recognized the movie as Eraserhead though. Its a real calssic but hard to find skince its out of print.

My first foray into the sig o' da month adventure...

[edit: and I messed it up. Bad omen.]

[This message has been edited by mobrul (edited 04-14-2003).]

Very cool Mobrul. Was just thinking it'd be funnier if you changed the quote - 'leave the sig, take the cannoli'

Started a new thread for the sig contest, since this one is getting a little big... hope you guys do not mind....
